Needed a time lapse
I would have given this book a strong 4 stars. It was well written with pretty decent characterizations and an engaging plot. But please, if your heroine has internal injuries and abdominal surgery, don’t have her going at it hard and heavy with a guy who is “mindless of her injuries” when he grabs her around her broken ribs. If wakes up in so much pain she can’t even twist her torso, she’s not going to be riding her guy a couple of hours later. I’ve had laparoscopic surgery f ...more

Extraordinary story!!!
This was an intense, suspenseful, crime thriller and romance all rolled into a brilliantly written story.
I thought about explaining the perfectly executed characters of Pierce, Scott, CJ, Melissa, even Henrietta and Belle and the twisted web they weaved as their story unfolded. How unforeseen circumstances had them all interconnected.

Wow! Twist of Fate was a helluva roller coaster ride and I loved every second of it! This book is told in 3 POVs, the lead female, the lead male, and then there's Pierce. For me, the 3 POVs weren't confusing at all. I actually really enjoyed hearing from Pierce in first person. It made you connect with him on a deeper level and allowed you to get into his disturbed mind. Melissa is a strong female lead. She's been through a lot and she doesn't want to let it destroy it. Then you have CJ. Their p

Wow... Where do I start? I loved this book!
I wasn't sure what to expect from the blurb, but Twist of Fate turned out to be well-balanced mix of love story mixed up with a fantastic kidnapping plot starring not one but two whacked out freaks. Seriously, the bad guys made this book - one serial killer, one kidnapper, each with their own warped fantasies that twist together in the sickest of ways.

Who doesn't love a good fairy tale? Especially when it involves a serial killer who's victims are names after fairy tale princesses?? This book is an awesome romantic psychological thriller about a couple who meet by chance, when they get caught in a tornado together, only to have their fates become more twisted together as the story progresses. This book had me breathless with anticipation from the first chapter. There is action, lots of suspense, romance, and of course, not one but TWO psychop

Wow this book is freaking amazing. This is the first book that I have had the pleasure of reading by Ellie and Oh My God I have fallen in love with her not only her writing style but the types of books that she writes. This one I knew nothing about going in.I did not read up on this book before digging into it. I was blown away by the time I was done reading it. This book is a very intense psychological thriller from beginning to end. It will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
My first ever book by this author and I must say that this was HECTIC... Almost like Bella Jewel's suspense crime thriller books she just did.
So how to describe this book is very difficult. It's one of those books that you can't say much about as it will give away the whole book.
So for me this was a book about 3 people. The strong female lead, Melissa who is seeking redemption for things she didn't do.

Wow! From the opening pages this story had me on the edge of my seat! The premise of this story could have been torn from a dozen different headlines yet the author found new spins at every corner.
Melissa was finally going to close a chapter in her life that was cloaked in horror and guilt – if she could survive the latest challenges in her life…

A Twist of Fate
Melissa finally receives the signed divorce degree. The man she married 10 years ago, that she had loved with all her heart, is no more. Scott Patterson, her ex-husband, is an evil, hideous monster, soon to meet his Maker and to answer for his sins.

One word....Brilliant! Holy cow this story blew my mind!!
This is a well written romantic suspense, with the emphasis on suspense! There are many characters in the story that are front and center, Melissa and CJ, but the dark characters are woven together in such a perverse way, it will give you chills.
CJ is trying to redeem himself for something that happened in the past and is in town to witness the execution of a man who killed his sister. His trip takes a whole different turn when he rescues ...more

Scott is a serial killer that has been on death row and will finally be brought to justice for the horrible crimes that he committed against young women. Meliss ...more

Wow, Ms. Masters just amazes me with how versatile and brilliant she is as a writer. She clearly has a dark twisty side which I absolutely love. And if Disney and Silence of the Lambs were to have a baby, Twist of Fate would be it... Clearly Ms. Masters is not a cookie-cutter author.

Great suspense romance. We have four different lives all mingled together...a couple sociopaths, a couple victims...all too soon their lives collide with a twist of fate. I really loved Pierce's POV sometimes...his thought process and sense of entitlement and superiority complex. He made me laugh which made my husband side eye me. Full review coming on The Smut-Brarians.

I loved this story. Melissa's story sucked me right in and would not let me sleep until it was done! Lots of suspense and intrigue. Melissa and CJ meet by chance during a tornado. Little do either of them know initially, they have a connection. I loved how differences between them did not drag out and were resolved through immediate communication. I can't recommend this book enough!

Anyone who enjoys a mystery, romance, with a bit of erotic, this is your book. As I began reading, I was completely swept up into what was going to happen next and with whom. The mixture of characters add a different type of flare and definitely kept your attention. This a MUST READ. Kudos Ellie, once again you knocked it out of the park!

OMG…this book had me hook, line and sinker right from the start. Melissa was married to a Monster, with a capital M, aka Scott,…aka the Fairy-tale Serial Killer---named because of the “princesses” he kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered - unbeknownst to Melissa. Melissa’s signature on the divorce papers is still wet when she goes for a 10k run on the day of the scheduled execution of her now ex-husband. A tornado hits, and a lightning strike throws Melissa in front of a stranger driving a bla

This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions. Horror for the things done to the women. Disgust for the person who caused it. Deep sighs for the tender care and assistance. Man I was just floored.
