What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
The bestselling author of My Lovely Wife returns with an addictive new psychological thriller!
NOTHING IS DEADLIER THAN TRUE LOVE...
Wes and Ivy are madly in love. It's the kind of romance people write stories about. But what kind of story?
Because when it's good, it's very very good. But when it's bad, it's bad.
But their breakneck cycle of catastrophic vengeful break-ups and head-over-heels reconnections needs to end fast. Because suddenly, Wes and Ivy have a common enemy - and she's a detective.
One wrong move will be fatal - so if Wes and Ivy can't stick together, this break-up might just be their last.

Critics Review
A fast-paced, addictive thriller full of secrets and lies. She’s hit the sweet spot again
This story about a toxic relationship spiralling out of control is dazzlingly, deliciously dark – and enormous fun
Wicked and wild, seductive and sinister. A Twisted Love Story is beach read fun, up all night gripping, disturbingly dark and satisfyingly clever.
Toxic relationships, dark deeds, and a cast of unreliable narrators. All the best ingredients for a deliciously disturbing read. Twisted indeed.
I love Samantha Downing’s thrillers and this one is an absolute gem. Deliciously addictive, constantly surprising and, as the title would suggest, thoroughly twisted. You’ll devour it.
A deliciously clever thriller. I love Samantha Downing’s books…If you haven’t experienced the pleasure of reading her work, don’t wait
PRAISE FOR SAMANTHA DOWNING
Wonderfully dark and twisty. I raced through it, desperate to know how it would end
A genuinely fresh take on the psychological thriller genre. Expect dark humour and more loop-the-loops than a roller coaster
Dexter meets Gone Girl – I loved this this brilliantly dark and twisted novel. One of the best books I’ve read this year!
Samantha Downing is totally the real deal. Wry and dark and witty and clever.
Samantha Downing’s writing is pure, twisted magic. No matter how irredeemable a character might seem, Samantha Downing has me rooting for them until the bitter end. A Twisted Love Story will take you from the height of sexy, crashing-into-walls obsession to utter disbelief, loving every second
Subtle, compelling, and clever. A Twisted Love Story will take you on a tense and emotional thrill ride that doesn’t let up until the final page. Downing has crafted a complex, masterfully written tale that will have you rooting for the dysfunctional couple while simultaneously not trusting either of them
While A Twisted Love Story is a thriller about love, buckle up because it’s of the gnarly, twisted variety, and I tore through the pages…It takes great skill to make readers root for a couple like this, but Samantha Downing does so with ease
No one does dark sophisticated psychological suspense like the oh-so-talented Samantha Downing! This page-turning risk-taking dive into tangled relationships and ultra-gaslighting is a dazzling look at emotional manipulation and addictive passion. What happens when love is so powerful that it turns deadly? Shocking, surprising, and super-twisty – with an ending that will haunt you
