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.

In Twisted Devotion, Emily finds herself caught in the grip of a dangerous man whose obsession turns her life upside down. As the lines between fear, desire, and control blur, she has to decide how far she's willing to go to protect her sense of self, even when escape seems impossible.

I enjoyed this stalker dark romance. Emily’s fighter spirit was so satisfying to watch. She knew she might not come out on top, but she refused to be passive. Her resilience made me root for her, even when things got intense. There’s a raw, chaotic pull between her and the love interest that fans of obsessive romance tropes will likely enjoy.

That said, I wish we had more time with these characters. Everything moved so fast that I didn’t fully connect with them the way I wanted to. A few more chapters could have helped build the emotional layers and tension. Still, the pacing kept me turning the pages, and I was definitely entertained from beginning to end.

This is a great pick for readers who enjoy dark, fast-paced romances with gritty emotional stakes and don’t mind morally gray dynamics.

First of all, the narrators? Chefs kiss!

I really enjoyed the storyline. Smutty with a bit of ~death~.

Emily’s character was SO sweet and innocent, until she wasn’t and I absolutely loved it. Eliza Nyx was the perfect fit and by far one of my favorite narrators.

Ruarc’s character had me feeling some type of way, but I was wanting SO much more from him. Lucas Troy as a narrator really brought the character to life and I for sure am looking forward to listen to other things he’s in!

Excited to listen to more in the series!

Enjoyable!

LOVED the narrators within this story. Love how Lucas brought Ruarc to life. It was truly amazing. He NAILED unhinged male 🤣 can’t wait to listen to book 2.


Emily’s dad always said never to enter the mortuary after midnight. The mortuary was her mothers legacy. After breaking that one rule, she witnessed something sinister going down with an unknown man and her dad. She was going to get to the bottom of it. Rule number two; was never enter his office. She did anyways and uncovered some very shady things he was into. Ruarc is the masked king of his lucrative syndicate, Delirium. It’s a place where all your deepest darkest desires come to life. It’s a sex club that’s exclusively high end. Once Ruarc set eyes on her, it was game over.. She became his biggest obsession; he stalked her, kidnapped her, & claimed her. I enjoyed this stalker dark romance. Emily’s fighter spirit was so satisfying to watch. She knew she might not come out on top, but she refused to give up. I loved watching her fight back.

Ruarc & Emily 🖤

I like the premise, guy becomes obsessed and stalks girl and takes what he wants. I just didn't quite feel like it delivered. He casts her away after a few weeks of "captivity" and she no longer wants to leave. Things in his life happen that makes him want to pull away but she's now the one who is obsessed and doesn't want to leave. She struggles back at home and keeps trying get his attention. Idk I just didn't feel like the time they had didn't warrant that extreme reaction from her. She was strong in the beginning and then she turned weak. That's just my opinion though so just because I didn't love doesn't mean you'll feel the same.

Narration was good, 4 stars
