Review:

Two loves; two points of view; and one mystery make up Roni Teson's wonderful story of mystery and romance. Beatrice (Bea) Malcolm and Lucas Drake fall in love; and their steamy romance is caught on tape, and broadcast on YouTube. Bea's father is wanted by the FBI for espionage, but the real truth is far more complicated; and that truth affects their burgeoning romance. Roni Teson weaves the mystery and the romance in a very compelling way that makes this a must read.
The plot is intricate and not very predictable. My recommendation--buy the book.

Beatrice Malcom's life is complicated, with her mom dead and her dad on the Most Wanted list of the FBI. She doesn't need more complications, but then she meets Luke Drake and falls in love. It seems that her dad's situation has more to do with her than she realized. Roni Teson has created a complicated plot in Twist. The last part made me teary and crave more of the story. The last chapter was really good, but the epilogue was the best part.Reviewed by Lorena Sanqui for Readers' Favorite

Twist is a contemporary thriller written by Roni Teson, starts out as a 'love at first sight' story, but it is so much more than that. The story is narrated alternately by Bea and Lucas as they try to navigate the forces arrayed against them. Teson is a masterful storyteller who weaves high technology, intrigue, and advanced medical research into this modern-day tale of star-crossed lovers. I got so involved in their stories that I couldn't put the book down. Twist is a marvelous story and is highly recommended.Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite

Roni Teson has written a very absorbing story and created two very compelling, if not exactly likable, characters in its twin narrators, Bea and Lucas. I was intrigued by the multi-layered story from its first page and Teson has a very clear and readable style which draws you in and keeps you hooked throughout. Twist, has both an original premise and, aptly, many dizzying plot twists. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mysteries and something a little bit different!Reviewed by Julia Hopkinson for Readers' Favorite
