So I did like the book I kinda liked the first one better but was still amazing. We had the one and only Abel sick demonic and twisted but there was a little cuteness to him in this book.
We have Aspen I loved her she has had a little bit of a hard life but she’s strong.
The COPYCAT yes plot twist crazy right!! Read
To find out what plot TWISTS THERE ARE
Of course Cain entered in the book not very much but missed his character. He’s same old same old still doing good and happier then ever with Kirby
Kirby still herself her and Able had me lugging a couple time they have a weird relationship.
All in all 5⭐️ smut 4 ⭐️ gore 10 ⭐️

Why I chose to read this book, I’ll never know. The smut was awful and unless you like reading about a deranged serial killer using spoons to pop eyeballs out of his victims, it was a terrible book. There was one part where he popped the eyeball out with a spoon on some guy and then literally f*cked the eye socket until he hit brain. When he pulled out, they guy was talking stupidly. Honestly, it was gross AF but comical. His taste in music was awful. He pranced around listening to 90’s music while torturing his victims. He acted like a toddler most of the time and threw fits. His serial killer persona did not match his personality. It was quite the opposite actually. Quite a bit of grammatical errors, especially towards the middle/end of the book.
Thinking about reading this book? Don’t waste your time.

Love me a good old fashioned villain will burn the world down for her book and this didn’t disappoint me at all. I don’t wanna spoil anything but man oh man. Abel is definitely not typical but he also has so many endearing qualities. Though the book was short - it couldn’t of been any better. Gave a good range of emotions and a good amount of drama and plot.
Twisted Abel is the second book in the Buchanan Brothers series. The first book was Unhinged Cain by Brooklyn Cross.
Even though you know you shouldn't, you can't help but love Abel. Of the two twins, he is the one who acts, before he thinks as all he wants is to have a good time doing what he does best, t0rturing and unaliving people.
Once he meets Aspen his whole attitude changes and all he wants to do is protect and care for her. Even though he tried to kill Cain’s girl Kirby, he now understands why Cain started acting the way he did.
Despite the things Abel does, he made me laugh so much, especially the parts when he is meant to be focusing on something and so easily gets distracted.
This book brings you horror, thrills and chills and brings the term I’ll

I loved this book.
Whilst you don’t have to have read Unhinged Cain to enjoy this book I would recommend it as it really helps you to learn about Abel and his brother.
This book is twisted and the opening chapter features torture scenes so check your trigger warnings as Abel is a killer and pretty twisted in some of the things he does .
However I will say I loved this book and I’m not sure how the author managed it but as messed up and twisted as he is I still found myself swooning for Abel and thinking awww at the end. His growth was amazing and it was lovely to see the strong protective loving side of him as we learn about the extent he will go to for the ones he loves, how he equates love with cookies and then his affinity with rescue dogs.
Seriously. Read this book.

Twisted Abel is the second book in the Buchanan Brothers duet. I could not put this book down, I wanted to all of the answers and to see if my guesses were right on who was who.
I loved Abel even though I knew I shouldn’t. He made me laugh way more than he should’ve and the author made me fall for him when I should despise him.
I loved his moments of “oh shiny! Oh right I am supposed to be focusing.” I made a batch of cookies after reading the book just for Abel.
This book is dark and I don’t say that lightly. This is a readable horror movie and will give you the same thrills and chills! I loved it!

Spice 4/5
After reading Cain’s story and getting to know his twin brother Abel I was curious how much I would actually like him in his own book. This one might have caused me to never again question if an author could make me love a character that I didn’t before or shouldn’t.

Twisted Abel by T.L. Hodel

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but if you haven't gotten your hands on Twisted Abel by T.L. Hodel yet, remind your book boyfriend to punish you and then go get a copy. I am now a believer that dark romance readers everywhere need to share this experience. I have done nothing today besides tap my kindle screen to advance pages. I started Twisted Abel by T.L. Hodel this morning and was unable to stop until there were no more pages.
Let's talk about Aspen, shall we? First and foremost, Aspen truly is one of those "good" characters. No matter what life throws at her, she never falters in being exactly who she is. Her inner monologue is so raw it hurts. Aspen doesn't leave herself any pretenses and that sincere vulnerability draws you in. This character was raw. Aspen is REAL. I found that those feelings of shame and guilt found in Aspen's inner monologue are almost too well-articulated for comfort. No, unlike many heroines, Aspen is Abel's perfect victim through absolutely no fault of her own. And strength? The woman puts Hercules to shame. She maintains a certain resilience that you don't often find in romance books. Regardless of anything she faces, Aspen never loses sight of who she is and doesn't change. She truly is a one-of-a-kind character.
So, Abel? That man spider-monkeyed his way up my list of book boyfriends right to the top. He is so complex that there is almost a physical need to work him out (pun totally intended). Abel is a thinker. For all of his insanity, he's self-aware in an almost naïve manner. When he has a thought that's abnormal for him, he recognizes it, and then moves on. He accepts that he thought it, and and eventually those thoughts start to sink in and become his reality. He consistently applies his style of logic, which is skewed at best, all the while having an equally skewed moral compass. Just as Aspen is who she is, Abel is also just himself. I love the slow progression of thought changes that occur to Abel.
Obviously, I loved the characters. They snared me from the beginning and never let go.
The plot itself is rather simple. Pyschopath finds an object of obsession and ... well ... obsesses. He kidnaps her. There's a touch of stock- *ahem* I mean, she falls for him. He falls for her. They live happily ever after, right? And before you yell at me, I know there's so much more, but that is the essential story concept. But then there are twists. Not gonna lie, I did see some of the twists, but there were a couple that snuck up on me out of nowhere. There's enough action to keep me reading (which says something), but it isn't until the plot is paired with such exquisite characters that the story really shines. Those delightfully written inner monologues allowed the characters to slightly upstage the plot.
FYI: The amount of darkness that is found inside this cover nearly bowled me over. It is pervasive. The light clicks off and the shutters come down at the very beginning and the darkness takes over. This is not a book for most baby dark romance readers. Y'all will find more than a few disturbing imagines, and I need to tell you that it fed my dark soul so well it won't need another sacrifice for while.
TL:DR - Incredible book. In my top 3 of the year so far. Oops, I guess I should have put that at the beginning *evil laugh*
