Find Twisted Views: Fates Companion (Lexi, #1.5) Compiled By T. Gephart Available As Volume
to see other POV's but needs some serious editing, : Having fallen in love with Alex and Lexi in the first two novels, it was delightful to be able to revisit the action surrounding "A Twist of Fate" in "Twisted Views".
I've read a few books lately that are written from the point of view of other characters in the story, but this is more a set of different perspectives that give you a more complete perspective of who Lexi, Alex and Power Station are, which is so much nicer than a regurgitation of a story written in a different way.
Most of the action in this novel is entirely new material which rounds out the first story, there are only two scenes that are revisited and they do truly bring a different perspective, allowing us to both see the depth of Alex's attraction prelove for Lexi and more insights into both characters.
While there was a lot of humour in the other novels, there are so many laughoutloud parts to this story that I find it
hard to pick my favourite.
The insights into the workings of Taylah's mind are pretty hilarious and seeing Dan reduced to a stuttering mess is also pretty awesome.
While this is definitely a companion book, it gives us so much more insight into the characters and is clearly written from different perspectives that I had to give this astars.
I can't wait for the next one!! Great to see the story from other characters in book: they all have such strong personalities : loved the view from a different person: If you like the Lexis series this book you have to read it.
if not, dont waste your time, I really like it.
I normally dont like prequels or novellas that go back in time, I like to move forward and get impatient when I have to go back in time no matter how much the novella might fill in the gaps.
So I was a bit sceptical when I started this book, But this book is different! Even though I thoroughly enjoyed this step back in time, I was confused as to why I was enjoying this so much, but then it hit me.
I had an epiphany!
First of all, its NOT a prequel its a companion novel so the reader isn't taken back to a time before A Twist of Fate is written.
Secondly, A Twist of Fate is entirely written from Lexis POV as is A Leap of Faith, except for one chapter and this is the first big difference.
None of this book is written from Lexis POV, I think the best way to explain Twisted Views is to use a quote from T, Gepart herself in the Preface, " It was only after the second part of the Lexi series, A Leap of Faith, had been published and I was writing the third and final instalment, A Time for Hope, that I felt I needed to go back and revisit the first book again and let some on the facets of the other characters come to light.
” And that is exactly, what the author does BUT it is so much more,
Remember I said that I had that little epiphany Now is the time to tell you whatit was, Now each chapter revisits a moment of time in the series, but from a different characters POV, But thats not it. The reader doesn't only visualise the events from another characters POV, but we also get an insight into what theyre thinking so, in my opinion, I felt like I was reading a snippet in the diary/journal of each of these characters.
Now that can only be achieved because of T, Geparts writing. Her writing skills allow us to look at an event through different characters eyes, These diary entries allow the reader to see a different perspective while also having a good laugh or maybe thats just me but I dont think so.
Theres even a reference to Candy Crush which used to be one of my addictions until I gave it up because it is SO frustrating.
I almost forgot to mention the Interviews with your favourite characters found at the end of the book, They were classic!
To sum it up, T, Gepart has done it again, I loved it! I gave itout ofand I cant wait to read A Time for Hope,

And, of course, to get inside Alex's head I adore him! I'm loving this series! This novella is the companion to A Twist of Fate and shouldn't be read as a stand alone it follows the same time frame as the original Novel.
I really enjoyed A twist of fate and I was looking forward to reconnecting with some of my favourite characters in Twisted Views.
This Novella is unique as in takes the views and thoughts of all the supporting characters into account that and gives the reader the whole story of how Lexi was able to affect them all.
It was like returning home with this book back to a family I love just a little bit more now A Twist of Fate pulled us effortlessly into the world of Lexi Reed the feisty, smart, sexy and career driven PR manager whose world was turned upside down when she met and began representing her favourite rock band, Power Station.
This opportunity of a lifetime not only capitulated Lexi into a new and exciting world but onto a hot and steamy path with Alex Stone, the band's lead guitarist.
Their passion simmered as they tired to maintain their secret relationship, leaving both Alex and Lexi wanting more than the "no strings, sex only" agreement they had negotiated.
Hearts and rules were broken as Lexi learned the hard way, you can't negotiate with emotions, least of all love,
In this companion novella, we get to examine what has happened behind the scenes from different perspectives, told to us by the characters themselves.
Through the eyes of Alex and others we get a clearer view of how Lexi's arrival affects not only dynamics of the band but their personal relationships with her and each other.
We get to know the main players more intimately as we are given access to interviews and personal accounts, learning not only about them and what makes them tick but how their world has changed since Lexi's arrival.
