**SPOILER-FREE REVIEW**
âDaschaâs sadness is palpable. He wears it on his sleeve, almost like a badge of honor. He isnât ashamed of his imperfections, that much is clear. His mind is broken, and either heâs made his peace with it, or heâs blissfully unaware. But either way, he doesnât shy away from the cavernous empty space inside himself.â
What did we just read? Oh wowâŚ. Distorted by Nyla K. â we are speechless! We have never read this Author before and we went into this book completely blind. Weâll be honest with you; we did read the synopsis after a reader recommended it to us, but thatâs it, we stayed away from all reviews and wow are we glad we did! Oh my. First of all, we will not talk about the story. Not at all. If you read and enjoy really dark romance, if you love suspense and hard-hitting drama, if you read m/m and like it hot, if you like to push your reading boundaries. Well, Ladies and GentsâŚTHIS BOOK!
âI donât want him to know some twisted part of me enjoyed some part of what just happened. I donât know which partâŚIt started out as the worst thing thatâs ever happened to me, but my body rarely reacts the same way my mind does.â
Please do read the trigger warnings, they are aplenty! We loved this book. Every. Single. Thing. It pushed us, it shocked us, it broke our hearts, it had us questioning ourselves and it had us crying tears of frustration. It even had us chuckling at times. It was a feast for our book-loving hearts and we have fallen in love with a new to us Author. It doesnât get much better than that! Thereâs no question that this standalone in the new series: Alabaster Penitentiary by Nyla K. will stay with us for a very long time, and we cannot wait to read more.
âThatâs what they wantâŚThey want you dead, thatâs why youâre here. Everyone thinks youâre dead, and now you are. Youâre as good as dead.â
Warped, twisted, violent, tragic, horrific yet sweet and tender, Distorted drew us in and swallowed us whole. At no point could we look away, yet we had to take the odd break to process what we just read. Clever, agonisingly fragile yet hard-hitting, it evoked every single one of our senses and the characters stole our hearts along the way. which surprised us- until it didnât. What a powerful read. Unique, exhilarating, and magnificent storytelling. We have no words. Other than we bloody loved it!
âHeâs Satan. Thatâs who he is. Iâve been fucking around with Lucifer himself.â
âWhat the fuck is wrong with you?â
