Terkel's Twist

Terkel's Team #8

by Dale Mayer

In advance of another major attack, Terk races to Levi's compound in Texas, where Terk finally gets to meet Celia, the woman carrying his child. Thankfully he arrives in time to protect his friends and new family from another attack, but he's determined to get to the end of this nightmare that tried to earlier destroy his team.

Finally meeting this stranger-whose child Celia may be carrying-how could she not be suspicious? But after meeting Terk, she believes he had nothing to do with her pregnancy. Only after some deep conversations, as they peel layer from layer, do possible answers surface.

When the pieces finally come together into the most probably theory, Terk realizes how simple this whole mess really is. But solving it? ... That's a whole different story.

Terk may be reuniting with his team, but the danger is far from over. Not only does he need to uncover the truth about the personal responsible for what happened to his team but he needs to investigate the circumstances and the woman who says she is carrying his baby.

After everything that Celia has endured, she is uncertain who is friend and who is foe. When she meets Terk she realizes that he has as many questions as she does and that they will need to work together as a team if they are going to get the answers they both need.

Celia isn’t about to back down from anyone or anything which is at odds with Terk’s need to protect her, their child and his team but there is no denying they make a perfect pair both in life and love.

We finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for. I don’t want to give anything away so I’m going to say this is not to be missed. Terk is the leader of his team and the last to have his story told. So hold on tight because your in for a wild ride.

One more final book to wrap everything up. I can’t wait to see how this last story ties up everything with a perfect giant bow!!

It didn't disappoint

This is the book we have all been waiting for. The why's and the who's as the team finally put it all together and find out, with Levi and Ice's help" who wants to end them. And I never thought it would be a betrayal of someone close to them. Wow.

Terk is not only having to deal with his team's 50% mental strength, the woman who was impregnated with his child but, the woman herself. Celia is still confused and hasn't regained her memory yet. She trusts Ice but trusting Terk is going to take a lot in this amazing read. Not only her kidnapping but her pregnancy and dealing with Terk and his powers.

I was so engrossed in this book that I didn't see the twist coming. Wow, now we we have another book that wraps it all up nicely but as always in any books that are sort of connected to Levi, they sort of don't go well but the ending will be spectacular. I can't wait for the last book.

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I believe we are all glad Terk finally meets Celia. Wow! Not exactly what we expected. From the prior books, the impression was Celia wasn't making much noise or causing any problems. Right from the start of the book I was pulled in since Terk knows things were off at Ice & Levi Facility but didn't know why. I was on the edge of my seat going forward. Don't miss this book!

Sparks flew between Celine and Terk once they both started asking questions. Nobody on the sideline was sure where Celine and Terk were landing after these discussions. Neither of them expected the psychic energy attraction they had for each other.

Celia didn't understand how she got where she is and pregnant with Terk's child or children and wants answers. She is also angry at t.he whole thing of being impregnated against her will. Terk wants answers himself, especially, how Celia got pregnant with his child or children and who is trying to kill them.

While Terk and Celia are dealing with their personal affairs, the book has lots of twists and unpredictable turns, suspense, intrigue, use of psychic abilities, action-packed, danger and even romance.

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys Suspense Romance, Military Romance and Romance books. This book is a page-turner, entertaining, and full of delightful characters so grab yourself a copy of the book, sit down, relax and have yourself a delightful read.

I have so been looking forward to this book and it didn't disappoint.
Terkel Armand and his brother Merk had left England for California, they were to stay at the compound with Ace and Levi, Terk was going to meet Celia, the same Celia who was pregnant with his child, the same Celia who he had never set eyes on before, this was a mystery that Terk needed to solve.
Terk led a team on undercover operatives, all highly trained and all with their own special powers.......their psychic ability.
Someone wanted them dead, someone had tried to wipe out the team, that someone was powerful, but with the help of Terk's energy most had survived. Terk needed answers and he knew that Ace and Levi would help him get them.
Life at the compound became very dangerous, who wanted Terk and his team dead and why ? where did Celia fit into this ? how had she been impregnated without either of them knowing ?
There is an attraction between Celia and Terk and he had to protect her and his child.
I really enjoyed this book, it has been a roller coaster with twists and turns, action packed and full of suspense from the start of the series, I love the characters I liked how feisty Celia stood her ground against Terk even though he wasn't used to being questioned, I loved the friendship and loyalty of the teams and I now look forward to what I think is the last book in the series.

Finally!! I have been waiting to get some answers regarding who was trying to take out Terk and his team and why.

I actually liked the fact that Terk and Celia's first introduction was not a love connection, instalove, instalust, or anything else. They had to work on being able to communicate, to try and determine how they came to be in the situation before they even realized there was an attraction.

I have enjoyed the whole energy work theme of this series. This book provided a couple of surprises in that area. There was also danger, suspense, intrigue, and finally the answers we had all been waiting for about the attack.

I was holding my breath almost to the last minute. In previous books, Terk and the team would get close to something and the information would slip out of their grasp at the last minute. Not this time.

I was sorry to see the journey end because it felt like Terk and his team had more of a story to tell. For example, I want to know the outcome of the pregnancy, and if the offspring will have the same talent for energy work. I want to know if Terk and Celia will follow Levi and Ice's path. This turned out to be a 4.5 star read for me.

I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book received via Booksprout.

This exciting suspense filled paranormal heroes romance story will keep you on the edge of your seats and the characters will captivate you.When Mark and Terk finally show up in Texas he tells Levi and Ice maybe he should stay somewhere else because trouble is coming.But Levi and Ice just laugh and say when isn't it coming.?Then in walks Celia she's absolutely beautiful and takes Terks breath away but he's still a little suspicious. When they start talking she says how do you know its your baby did yourape me?Terk gets really upset and says no but why did they choose you?Then as he looks at her he says what do you do for a living?She says I'm a scientist. I study psychics.He really looks at her and says what are your gifts!Will they stop fighting and fall for each other?There is danger coming and he tells Celia to lock her door and stay in her room but finally Stone says she can help him watch the monitors. There are so many twists and turns to this story you will be riveted until the very last page and leave you begging for more.I love the way this amazing author brings the story to life before your eyes and you can feel the characters emotions an their pain.I can hardly wait to see what's next by this multi talented author.

Terk races to Levi’s compound in Texas ahead of the next major attack where he finally meets Celia
who is carrying his child. He arrives in time to protect his friends and new family from another attack but he is determined to get to the end of the nightmare that he tried to destroy his team. After meeting Terk Celia finally believes that he had nothing to do with her pregnancy and that they are both victims in this scenario. When the pieces come together into the most probable theory Terk realises how simple this mess is but solving it is a completely different story.

Wow, this was definitely dramatic from the awkward meeting between Terk and Celia, to them finding a way to work forward and the dramatic reveal of information and responsibility for the entire situation which was hidden in layers of management levels and responsibilities. Easy to read and understand, I definitely wanted at times to hug them and then at times to shake people and tell them to get a grip. I feel relieved that they got a large number of answers but wonder what the sting in the tail is as there often is one.

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

I expected this book to be the end of the saga. It is, instead, only a turning point, or "a twist," as the title goes.
Terkel, now a guest at Levi's compound in Texas, meets Celia, a scientist with psychic powers, for the first time. Celia was kidnapped around the same time the Terkel's team suffered the first destructive attack, and is now pregnant, allegedly of Terkel's child.
Terkel reveals a different personality from the previous episodes' calm, kind, and protective leader persona in these unusual circumstances. Instead, he shows an emotional and awkward side, especially with Celia's independent personality and witty remarks.
In my view, the cast of characters' dynamics is the best part of the book. Together, the members of Levi's and Terkel's teams make a vivid, colorful and intriguing group that keeps the reader interested and entertained.
The final fight against their enemies is improbable and somehow disappointing; however, freeing up the plot from an overused thread leads to a new and encouraging beginning.
The show goes on, promising plenty of emotions and adventures on the way forward.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Twists, turns and plenty of action in this one as Terkel arrives at the compound to meet Celia. I felt at times he took a backseat in this, Celia is forceful and independent, she often steps forwards and in to direct conversations and I did want to tell her to shut up sometimes, I'm hoping I might gel with her more in the next book as she interacts with the rest of the team and the women. We get answers finally and that's great, this mystery could only be pushed so far with so many bodies and layers before becoming just too much, time to move onto the future of all the team and build something more permanent and that is just what we get. It's interesting and fabulous characters, not so many of the deep or unusual Physic events, no shields or bubbles being thrown up or spirit walking, this is more basic like mind reading. I enjoy the logical thinking that goes along with that as more information comes to light. I loved having Ice, Levi and a few others involved a bit more. I found it gripping and there is plenty going on to keep me turning the pages.

Terk & Celia

The answers are finally being revealed, slowly. The excitement is still top notch.

I love Terk’s determination to find the truth behind the attacks on him and his team. Anyone reading this series knows the huge, frustrating puzzle this has been. This installment feels like the suspense has a name and a reason. It’s ramping up for the grand finale!

The action at Ice & Levi’s compound gets intense before it gets under control by those guarding it. Every person there knows their role and each is important for the safety of everyone. I enjoy Stone’s participation in the conversation. He is one of the backbones of the compound.

I love how Terk connects with Celia and is fully committed to her and the secrets she is holding. There are so many facets to him and each one is better than the next. He is a true friend, warrior, protector, and a blessing to the teams he supports.

Exciting to read, suspenseful, action packed, and an emotional ride for sure. Great story, I loved it!

[Miriam Wolfe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started this series a few books back so did not get in at the beginning but was able to pick up what was going on with these psychic warriors. When I read the other books, I was so intrigued and wanted to know who Celia was and how she was pregnant with Terk's baby when they had never met!

So, Terk and Celia finally meet and boy are there sparks as they are perfectly match and yet it seem so sudden to them.

Along with their meeting, we have multiple attempts on the team and they still do not know who is behind this. The whole plot against the team and the attacks is revealed and we see who is behind it. If I understand correctly, Celia's pregnancy is a different issue and that was not explained.

I am hoping that the next book will reveal more on that issue along with the birth of the babies. Loved the wrap up as Terk's team now is situated in England and in a castle!

Looking forward to more from this team!.

Terk has managed to find and sort out his team. Now he needs to visit Celia and work out how's she pregnant with his baby, when they've never met. What is going on?
He arrives at Ice and Levi's compound with his brother, Merk and meets Celia. They know they haven't met before and the sparks fly, they both seem to have gifts. Celia is a scientist who was researching people with special gifts, is this why she was kidnapped and has now lost her memories of all the time she was kept prisoner?
The baddies are still coming, and they are still being killed before they can divulge any information. Will they ever get to the end and find out who has been behind all this?
The relationship between Terk and Celia is great, he's not used to trying to relate to a woman, he's a bit bossy! But she won't have it and stands up to him.

A great read from Dale, nearly at the end!

[CarolKat · Rating 5 out of 5]

When we left Terkel and the team, he was headed back to the US and Levi's compound. It's time to solve the mystery of Celia, the woman who is carrying his child.

Trouble is following Terk and Merk to Texas, they arrive to an almost empty compound since Levi decided to keep folks to a minimum. Celia is less than receptive to Terk, after all, she woke up in a strange place, pregnant and no recollection of how it all happened.

There's also more to Celia than meets the eye as we find out as she asks about Terk's abilities.

With that bit of information, things start to make more sense. Although it's still bazaar and quite frankly more premeditated than initially thought.

As they ready for an attack they manage to get a big heads up from surveillance cameras. Then the fun begins.

From start to finish this book is filled with intrigue, suspense and action. I can't wait for the final book in this series.

Terkel’s Twist by Dale Mayer
Terkel’s Team Series Book Eight
Terkel “Terk” Armand has finally made it through all their attacks in England to get back to Levi and Ice’s compound in Texas. He’s finally able to meet the woman carrying his child. They’d never met, but he knew he was the father, no doubt about it. One thing with Terk’s abilities was that he was never wrong. Never.
Celia, aka Dr. Philly Waterball, was hoping that something from her memory of the time she’d been kidnapped would return when she met Terk. He was so sure he was the father that she hoped answers would finally come. But she didn’t recognize him. Although, something in her did pull her towards him.
I enjoyed reading this and spending time with familiar characters at the Texas compound. Terkel is a unique character, and it was nice for him to have his happy ending.

a 3.5 stars read.

I was so excited with this book, because this one is where everything finally revealed, after seven books, finally I will get all the answers. I do get all the answers although it felt rushed and too easy, considering it took seven books to get here, a bit dissapointed to be honest, but I loveeee the action, always love when Levi and Ice and their team made appearances, guaranteed full of action when they're around. I also love the romance part, love that soulmate thing, love the banter too, it's not your typical instalove, it's pretty unique and weird how the love started but it's still a cute one for me, I can feel the frustration between these two about the "situation". Overall it's a fun easy-to-read fast-paced romantic suspence read.

Terk has come to the US to Levi and Ice's compound to meet Celia. Even though they need time to talk and see if they can determine what happened to her, there are also multiple attacks on the compound. However, unlike past attacks, they are able to take a couple of guys alive and learn a little information.

This story is full of suspense and mystery as they work through who was behind the attacks on Terk's team and why. We also get one more match as Terk and Celia give in to their attraction to each other. Then it's time for Terk and his team to decide their future - which they all agree will be in England.

The end is near in finding out who is out for Terkel and his team and Celia. They are back at Levi and Ice’s compound ready for another attack and Terkel finally meets Celia, the woman who is carrying his child…a woman he has never met. There’s a connection between them and why she was chosen, they just have to find and connect the dots and hopefully survive the next attack.
A good read with suspense, surprises and one step closer to the answers since book one. I’m hoping the last book has all the answers to Celia and her pregnancy. I enjoyed seeing past characters and that Terkel finally met his match.

[Fleur · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's time for Terk to finally get answers on who is after him and his team, the fact that Celia has some fire to her and has more than one more surprise for him is a treat as Terk is usually the one providing answers. The threats keep coming and having Ice, Levi and others on hand is needed to not only keep everyone safe but finally get to the bottom of who has been traying to take the team out. There is some great action, frustrations, twists and attraction along with some great surprises and of courses answers that makes this a great page turner!.

This is the 8th book in the Terkel's Team series and begins with a pregnant Celia showing up at Levi and Ice’s compound with a bomb strapped to her body! Terkel knows he’s the father but can't fathom how as he’s never met Celia. They have a lot on their respective plates least of which is who is responsible for all the attacks on his team! Terk goes to Texas to meet Celia and actually get to know the mother of his child/children! Also to help Ice and Levi fight off the coming attack. The attacks just keep coming until there is a final twist at the end. Who is responsible for the attacks and why????.

(4.5) What a twisty ride as all the pieces start coming together. Terkel heads back to Texas with his brother Merk to Ice and Levis compound. Loved the coming together of both groups as well as the twisty bumpy ride as Terk tries to figure out who is behind trying to destroy his team and how a perfect stranger became pregnant with his child. You can read this as a stand alone as pertinent info was provided when needed but you will not see the progression. Thank you for the arc!

When Terk meets Celia, he is assured that she is carrying his twins. As the team races against clock to find those perpetrators who are actively trying to take them down, Terk and Celia try to reconcile themselves to the facts that they will soon be parents.
There are many moving parts to this book and I honestly had to reread a couple chapters to gain a better understanding of the great reveal! Once all the cards are laid out, where does the team go? I can't wait to read the thrilling conclusion in Terkel's Triumph!

We get all the answers and wow! I've been excited for this story since the first book and it didn't disappoint. Terk is up and once he meets Celia it is nonstop action, suspense, and thrills. The romance is sweet with the right dose of tension. I loved Celia's character. When the answer to how she is carrying Terk's baby comes it blew me away. No way could I have imagined what we learn in this book. I couldn't put it down.

Terkel’s Twist is amazing! Terkel visits Ice and Levi where he finally meets Celia, the woman that is pregnant with his child. He and Celia spend a lot of time getting acquainted and getting used to the idea of becoming parents.

Also I am super excited to announce that this is the book where we finally learn who is behind the original attack against Terkel and his men.

Needless to say, this book contains fast-paced action and riveting suspense. Plus, the exciting, surprise ending will NOT disappoint!
