About this listen
He was never supposed to see her. She was never supposed to survive.
Emily’s life has always existed in the shadow of the dead. Working at her family’s funeral home, she thought she knew secrets. But nothing prepares her for the night she discovers what really happens after midnight—or the man who’s been watching her from the dark.
Ruarc is a killer with a code. Ruthless, disciplined, and loyal only to his criminal family. But the moment he sees Emily, something shifts. She’s meant to be leverage—an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge. Instead, she becomes his obsession.
What begins as coercion spirals into a brutal, intimate entanglement neither of them expected. He wants control. She wants answers. And when the line between predator and protector blurs, Emily must decide how far she’ll go to survive… and what she's willing to feel for the man who’s claimed her.
Twisted Devotion is a dark, gripping romance full of morally gray characters, intense chemistry, and unrelenting tension. Perfect for listeners who like their love stories with bite, danger, and emotional damage.
Content Warning: This book contains scenes of kidnapping, violence, psychological manipulation, and non-traditional power dynamics. Recommended for mature listeners only.

“You’ll take what I give you and you’ll like it.. now swallow”
The narrators did an amazing job narrating and bringing Emily and Ruarc to life(duet). But I had a tough time connecting with Emily. I can’t explain why. I did love that she was feisty and have him hell. But something was missing. BUT I did enjoy the audiobook very much and will definetly recommend it to someone who is looking for an easy mafia read with insta love and an unhinged MMC.

Emily is the kind of heroine who doesn’t start strong but becomes strong—reforged in trauma, tempered by passion. She begins as the good daughter, the dutiful girl-next-door who uncovers her father's grim bargain with the underworld. But what follows isn't a story of escape. It's a descent—and Emily’s not falling so much as plunging into the arms of her captor— with Eliza Nyx's narration bringing her gloriously, breathlessly, kicking and screaming to life.
Ruarc is brutal. Not a bad boy with a soft underbelly, but a villain carved from iron and shadows—one who claims, corrupts, and keeps. His brand of love is coercive, consuming, and so deliciously toxic that you know you should run… but every page pulls you deeper. Their chemistry scorches, burns, and brands. And yet, amidst the power plays and primal need, there's a strange tenderness—like blood on silk—that makes their connection as poignant as it is perilous. Lucas Troy's flamboyant narration ensures Ruarc's larger than life personality is vividly demonstrated.
St. John's prose is lyrical and violent, and although her pacing doesn't always hit the mark, when it does, it is relentless. She doesn't flinch from the ugliness of obsession, nor does she offer redemption in predictable forms. What makes Twisted Devotion ruinous is the raw emotional intimacy that forms beneath the feral heat. This is captivity, yes—but it’s also a kind of spiritual undoing.

Narration: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐
Let me start by saying, this isn't usually the sort of books I read, but I thought I'd give it a go nonetheless. I was entertained by the story, however, the non-con made me uncomfortable at times. The audiobook also didn't have trigger warnings, which I think might be beneficial, especially for those who don't like certain things. This also gave me the vibes of the Cat and Mouse Duet, something I see a lot of people agree with. Overall, I liked the plot and pacing, it reads really quick and keeps you entertained.
This was a wild book from start to finish
