This is Alabaster Penitentiary... Where they send you when the world thinks you're dead. And trust me, you'll wish you were. We're the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I'm just a lowly bank robber. I don't belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse... At least, I don't think I do. Getting by unscathed is my top priority. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are.
You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave; my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite. Reality warps in the dungeon, and I'm left wondering which prison is worse... The one holding my body, or my mind.
**Distorted is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. It is a full, dark M/M romance, with HEA. Each book in this series is technically a standalone, though they are interconnected, so it will be recommended to enjoy in order. Distorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded listeners. Detailed list of CW's can be found here: authornylak.com/distorted-content-warning

I’m a huge fan of Nyla K. I don’t think there will ever be a better MM book than For the Fans. This book, Distorted, is now my 2nd favorite MM book, which is saying a lot because I’ve read a ton of MM books.
With that said, this isn’t for everyone. Essentially, this book is about a prisoner and a guard. (And how we think life is like in prison.)
Some of the main Trigger Warnings to be aware of before deciding to read this are mentioning of childhood abuse, and severe mental illness, as these play a large part in one of the MMC. The other big TW is Non-consent/dubious. One MMC is forced/sometimes coerced into sexual acts and after the acts starts the MMC starts to enjoy it. I think to any reader, these acts start off as rape so that could be a big TW for some.
There are NO slow moments in the book like almost every book out there. There is always a gripping story being told throughout the entire book. I typically increase the listening speed during slow parts in audiobooks or start to skim pages when reading but this book had zero boring parts.
This book is taboo and if you’re okay with the TW then you’ll love this book like I did. I will listen to this book again at some point.

Some reviews make a big deal of “the twist,” but it’s not. It’s just a well-written psychological story.
I loved this book!

I'm not going to leave a detailed review because I don't want to ruin this story for anyone. I will say that while this book contains dark subject matter, it also has a lot of tenderness. To me, it was everything I didn't know I wanted. And hats off to Nyla K for surprising me. I read and listen to so many books that it rarely happens. I did not see the turn this story took coming at all. It was so, so good, and the narration was perfect.
You really get your money's worth with Nyla K books as well. I hate how some romance novels are unnecessarily broken into two or three shorter books that cost the same as a book this length. I don't begrudge authors trying to maximize profits, but sometimes it's just sheer greed without enough benefit to the reader. This is the best book I've listened to in a while. Just spend the credit.
Officially a Nyla K Fan!
