In the Twist (The Wild Hunt Book 1) Kindle Edition

Twelve dead children. An ex-priest with the faith to move mountains. A hunter out of the depths of legend. Together, they must find a way to overcome their pasts and become something entirely new if they are to defeat an ancient evil.

David Shaughnessy was content in his life as a police detective in Armata, California. It lacked the visceral, sick thrill that came with exorcising demons, but it was better for him, saner. Until the night he got called out to a vicious murder in the woods, and met Dallan Jaeger. The older man and Interpol agent is much more than he seems to be, and their connection is immediate, powerful. Trust blooms quickly as they learn to work together to pursue the evil fae responsible for the murders.

They must learn to do more than trust each other if David is to fulfill his birthright and claim what was so long denied him. Only then do they have a hope of catching the killer…in the Twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another fantasy thriller

This book met all my expectations and then some. Fantasy thrillers are one of my favs, but this one went beyond that. It had me crying as well, the deep rooted trauma of David was so well written that I felt it in my soul. I loved this book so much, that after reading the ebook I immediately bought a hard copy to add to my book shelf. I know I'll be reading it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow....!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016
This fascinating, fantastic, gripping, compelling story starts at the grisly scene of a murdered child, but if you think that this is going to be just another run-of-the-mill murder mystery, you'd be dead wrong!! I was literally hooked from page one, and didn't look up until after the last page was turned. The author has skillfully blended so many different paranormal legends and beliefs into a dark and dangerous world where nothing and no one are what they appear to be. This is my first book by this author, and it DEFINITELY won't be my last!

ARC given for an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and fascinating
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016
This one isn’t for the faint of heart. The story starts off with a scene that made me queasy, and right away I knew this book would be going some dark places.

Horror readers (which is not me usually) will be right at home. LA Stockman gives us a damaged but still strong hero to take on this monster, and David finds an unlikely ally in his fight against the horror stalking the children. An Interpol agent with a larger scope than most, Dallan Jaeger is both attracted to David and willing to give him the space he needs to be ready for a relationship. Dallan’s almost too good to be true, between his skills, knowledge, his unexpected kindness, and a pack of really scary backup.

The Catholic church comes off very badly here: what’s happened to David at their hands is truly atrocious and comes with no apologies. It was pretty awful, and the sad part is that after all the recent real life scandals, it isn’t even that surprising. This is one of the very dark places the book goes, and I’m interested to see how the uneasy relationship with the church that was his everything progresses now that David’s come a long way from the scared child he was. I will read books two and beyond to find that out, no matter how dark it goes.

The series is titled The Wild Hunt, and while the band of spectral hunters does show up, only the leader has a large role here. This is book one, so a lot of things are being set up that I’m ready to follow into future books. I’m really anxious to see these guys kick ass and take names.

While I could only feel for David, and applaud for his triumphs and get queasy with his trials, Dallan had more issues for me. He’s very touchy-feely understanding, considering his other role. I’m not quite sure that works as characterization, but it was exactly what David needed. That and a few things that made me check who’s head we’re in were issues for me.

However, LA Stockman has created a world and characters that definitely intrigue me. This book is much darker than my usual reading preference, so extra win for pushing me out of my comfort zone and making me want more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing is all that it seems!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2016
David Shaughnessy has traded the life of a priest for that of a detective in a small town in California. He and his sister foster misfit children and help them see the worth of themselves. Then, he is called to the scene of a vicious, brutal murder, and meets the Interpol Agent, Dallan Jaeger.
Dallan tells David that the murder appears to be the work of a serial killer whom Dallan has pursued across countries.
It soon becomes clear that this is no human monster, and his hunter is no ordinary mortal. Dallan knows that David too is more than he seems. Together, they must end the series of nightmare murders, and Dallan must help David heal his own wounds to become what he was born to be.

This story sucked me in from the first chapter, and had me spellbound till the end!

3.0 out of 5 stars Creative and imaginative
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016
David Shaughnessy hoped when he moved to California and became a police detective, he'd left dealing with truly dangerous creatures behind him. But after a series of murders, it's clear he's not dealing with a human killer. And when the mysterious Dallan Jaeger shows up, he learns it's something new he's never dealt with before. And David used to be a demon hunter.

Together, the two of them must work to stop the creatures that are killing children before they strike again. And according to Dallan, who is used to hunting these types of spirits, it will take everything they've got. He's never seen anything like this before.

But then Dallan has never seen anything like David before, either. The attraction between them is fast and mutual. And it proves to be a lot for both of them to deal with--especially on top of this case. Which just adds to the tasks before them as they race against a ticking clock...

--

The overall idea here is great. The concept for the story is something I actually enjoyed. And the characters' backgrounds provide a great setup to the whole thing.

But there are some issues for me here in the execution. For one, Dallan is referred to alternately as Jaeger and Dallan early on in the story. It isn't until later that Dallan Jaeger is referred to as his full name. So for a brief period I was confused about whether there was a third person involved. Secondly, the relationship moves super fast with very little explanation as to why.

The imagination in creating and crafting the story is clear. So I give this a decent recommendation, though there were some parts that definitely made me scratch my head.
