Twisted threads is the perfect medicine for one who seeks entertainment. Kaylin McFarren sees that the lovers of action with suspense entwined with romance satisfied with the series of twists in the story line that leaves one spellbound to c/t/m/h books. Twisted threads is the forth book in the thread series. As with Severed Threads, Buried Threads and Banished Threads this book had touches of the Japanese culture, secrets, passion and action that make a story that will not just quit.
Akira Sato, previously a geisha had her life turned around when she was forced to be become an assassin for a ruthless Japanese gang, Zakura Kai led by Mitsui San. This was after Akira’s lover was killed and her attempt to take out Mitsui failed. Akira is sent on a mission to find the murderer of Keiko Mitsui, sister to Mitsui and in return earn her freedom. A British couple was supposedly involved and it was her job to take them out.
Akira embarks on the ten day trip set in a lavish cruise ship in the Caribbean and assumes a shy and innocent personality to attract a male companion on the ship. An undisclosed passenger also boards the ship with murderous intentions which bring the plot more twists.
On the cruise she meets Devon Lyons, nephew to the couple she was supposed to kill and they fell deliriously in love, almost veering Akira from the mission. With the new found love she felt happy and couldn’t bring herself to tell Devon who she really is. Deaths in the ship start occurring and increase by the day and Akira is forced to fight for her love and life.
This book sees deeply into interactions, friendships, pretence, choices, secrecy and soliloquy. The characters have solid, outstanding and firm personalities that stimulate the birth of actions and reactions that keep the plot thrilling. The scenes have been organized systematically, graced with interesting activities in the ship that played a great part in enhancing the romantic sessions. The poem at the beginning tactfully makes one anticipate for more.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I loved this book; however, I did notice a setback. The author failed to give some meaning of the used Japanese term as well as translate the Japanese exchange that happened between the two countrymen. All in all, this book automatically makes one picture the scenes clearly and feels involved. Each character is unique; it would be difficult to get confused. The Japanese culture incorporated and the wealth and royalty of the Lyons family makes one appreciate how accommodative the two groups were. I recommend this book to readers who love suspense and action, it will not disappoint.
