Summary

Born at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse to the head of the CDC and the leader of the new world, Jackson Star has always known that he would one day rule. Only the Stars’ plans go much deeper than simply keeping humanity alive, and the evil that sleeps inside Jackson is darker than even his father knows. Everyone in the settlement is a puppet, and everyone has a purpose in the Stars’ master plan, starting with Megan James.

But as Jackson and his father creep closer to achieving their goals at the CDC, things slowly begin to unravel. Meg isn’t cooperating the way she should be, and the presence of a new person in her life is threatening to blow their plan apart. Jackson must now decide how to deal with the girl he has spent the last nine years trying to manipulate, as well as the family she has left and the man who has taken up residence in her life. To complicate matters even more, the darkness inside Jackson has gotten increasingly persistent, making it difficult for him to control it at times and leading him to wonder if he shouldn’t just give in to his urges once and for all.

Twisted Mind is a dark and disturbing look into Jackson’s brain, and the inner-workings of the CDC. It will give readers a glimpse of the future, as well as answer questions that have plagued us from the very beginning of the Broken World series.

The Edge of Madness

I received this book via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.
This is a side story of the Twisted World series and it doesn't lack for impact, you get the sense from Meg's POV in book one that Jackson is one twisted dude, actually spending time living in his head though, really hits home the danger that Team James are in. He's insane, sadistic and even worse than his father.

Jackson is completely irredeemable, and an utter sociopath who has played Meg since the beginning like a fiddle. The mental manipulation he's been doing and his desire to get hold of her cousin Charley is terrifying! I do sort of wish that although Heather Firth has been amazing narrating this story, that a male voice artist had done the role of Jackson, just to help differentiate his character more from Donaghy. I did skip some scenes that were just too much for me listen to- his version of sex for example.. too much!

I consider this novella essential listening after Twisted World.. and if you havent read twisted world, turn around, and go get it!

Twisted Mind: Jackson

This book is from Jackson Star's point of view, and definately not for the faint of heart. I don't know how Jackson was able to hide his true nature from Meg for so long, he does make a very sinister villain, and she does seem surprisingly naive! I was on the edge of my seat, desperately hoping for Donaghy to survive Jackson's plans, and for the James family to get away unscathed! I really enjoyed this book, it was very dark, intense and full of suspense.

Pretty twisted

This was an inside of a really horrible character. It started from Jackson perspective during the first book, when he saved Maddie. It was a good book, short, but pretty ugly, like his ugly thoughts and what he did to for example Maddie boyfriend and her father. All in all it was a twisted read and not for the fainted heard.

Wow, talk about a cold-blooded sadistic character

After listening to book 1 I was interested in what came next. With what came next was not what I was expecting, but was perfect nonetheless. I had high hopes that a certain character was only acting a certain way to appease another character but in this story I saw that character’s true colors and all I can say is WOW, talk about a cold-blooded sadistic person. As I was listening to this one, it was engaging to see this characters point of view, as this story is occurring while book one is going. I am interested in seeing what’s next, and am definitely rooting for the good guys and girls. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Adds to the Series!

Most of this is similar events that happened in book 1 but it is from Jackson's point of view. I think this is a great in between novel because it really helps us understand the calculated actions of the CDC. It helps us gain perspective of how awful of a person Jackson is and just really helps definitively answer what is really going on behind the scenes that are eluded to in book 1 but that aren't entirely spelled out. Great in between novella.

As with book 1, I am still incredibly impressed with Heather Firth's talent as an up and coming narrator and especially with the difference in her voice from other performances. I feel like she did a great job personifying Jackson in this novella and was able to capture his twisted personality.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Whoa

This is basically a long summary of the first book from Jackson's point of view. The reader gets to spend some time in Jackson's mind and see how things looked from his point of view. They get to find out just how he was able to come across the info he'd come across through the story. It's always nice to see a story from another point of view. More authors should do things like this now and then. I was curious on how Jackson was finding out the things he was finding out through the first book. This book sheds light on that. This book also sheds light on how dark Jackson really was. He was very twisted and terrifying. I don't know how I'd of liked being around someone like him. Can't say I really disliked anything about this book. If I hadn't liked the series before, I definitely do now. This book gave the story an even darker edge than it originally had, and that says a lot. The story was pretty dark on it's own without realizing just how twisted Jackson was. I definitely recommend this book. I recommend the first book as well. Even though I haven't read the other books yet, I fully recommend them as well. I'm very convinced that I'm going to be as in love with those books as I have been with these two.

Brilliantly twisted!!

Chillingly Terrifying insight into the mind of a manipulative horrific sadistic monster. This is written from Jacksons POV and slots in round the storyline from book 1.
This novella definately needs to be read after 'Twisted World: A Broken World Novel' otherwise it might be a bit confusing!!
Stunning writting as always. Im looking forward to see where the story goes. Warning it is a cliffhanger!!
Great narration!!

Getting there

I found this a little hard to keep up with. Lots going on and quite a lot of characters to keep up with. I am looking forward to the next book to see where this is going. Great performance.
