Akira and Devon meets on the Merry Mermaid (previously The Starfish) cruise liner. Akira, a trained assassin, was on the ship under the pretence that she travels with her father, Takashi Hamada. Akira’s assignment was to find and kill the person who murdered Keiko Mitsui. Devon was travelling with his uncle Paul Lyons and Paul's second wife Sara Lyons. According to Akira’s information, Paul and Sara, or at least one of them was involved in the murder of Keiko. It was Akira’s intention to use Devon to get close to Paul & Sara to try and ascertain whom the murderer was. Akira and Devon have a connection with each other and then a very steamy, erotic and passionate love affair follows. Akira finds herself in a dilemma because of her feelings for Devon. She must tell Devon the truth about her past but could not find the right time to do so.
When people start to die and disappear from this ship, it leaves Akira to wonder what is happening, as she is not responsible for these incidents. Then she discovers that somebody from her past, Yuki, boarded the ship without her knowledge. From there a lot of action and interesting twists follow.
What I liked about this book is that there are a lot of colourful characters, each with their own story line, making this an interesting, captivating and complex book to read. The main characters are all credible and interesting and I could emotionally connect with each of them. I also feel that the main characters developed well towards the end of the book.
I personally did not like the erotic, explicit and steamy descriptions of the love scenes. At some stage it did feel as if the story is not progressing as it should and maybe the focus was too much on the love scenes. That said, the story still had me intrigued and entertained until the end.
Although Twisted - Threads is the last in the Threads series, it works well as a standalone. If you love romantic suspense, this is a definite must for you. In the end, the setting, plot and characters worked well together to create a captivating story and had me turning the pages.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as it was well edited as I did not find any errors in it. I truly enjoyed reading the book.
