Distorted

Alabaster Penitentiary, Book 1

By: Nyla K

Narrated by: Michael Gallagher, Bryant Walker

This is Alabaster Penitentiary... Where they send you when the world thinks you're dead. And trust me, you'll wish you were. We're the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I'm just a lowly bank robber. I don't belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse... At least, I don't think I do. Getting by unscathed is my top priority. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are.

You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave; my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite. Reality warps in the dungeon, and I'm left wondering which prison is worse... The one holding my body, or my mind.

**Distorted is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. It is a full, dark M/M romance, with HEA. Each book in this series is technically a standalone, though they are interconnected, so it will be recommended to enjoy in order. Distorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded listeners. Detailed list of CW's can be found here: authornylak.com/distorted-content-warning

17 hours of pure *PERFECTION*

Ms. Nyla K!!! Girl! i did not see that little twist coming!! The story of Dash & Kemp was nothing short of amazing. i felt like i experienced all the emotions Dash was going through: the anxiety, fear, anguish, the unknown. Ugh i could go on and on!

Dark, passionate, and ravening

I finally got my hands on the audiobook for Distorted by Nyla K. This book is a dark MM romance narrated by Michael Gallagher and Bryant Walker. It was my first time listening to the work of Michael and Bryant, and I was very pleased by their performance. Each voice fit the character's personality, and I was immediately drawn in at the start of the book. Tone and emotions were spot-on, even during the heavy, smexy times which all deserved an A plus. I can't wait to listen to more of their work.

Alabaster Penitentiary is unknown to the general public, and therefore the people who occupy this prison have been lost and forgotten. Unlike the havoc they wreaked on the world, the prisoners of Alabaster are left in the hands of a corrupted warden and his team of correctional officers.
As the author keeps you headed in one direction, you're thrown into a plot twist that may or may not break your line of thinking. You're going to want to hang on tight for this joyride.

Whenever a writer marries my beloved tropes of dark and gay romance, I'm instantly sold on buying a copy. Dash and Kemper's story will forever be ingrained in my soul. Distorted is now one of my top favorite books, and it is best to go into blind. I suggest downloading a copy of the audiobook to enhance your reading experience, because there is nothing like listening and reading along to a dark and entertaining story. Looking forward to reading more about the world of Alabaster Penitentiary.

Simply incredible

Now this is a book work the credit. Why the next in the series isn’t already on audible is beyond me. This is a 17 hour book and it kept my attention all the way through. I have wasted many credits on 6 hour books that lost me about half way through by authors who for some reason are considered popular. Writing is a talent, and this author has it in spades. I can’t recomend this book enough. The narrators were excellent , which means a lot in most books I get on audible but the story is so original and well written that I may still have enjoyed even if poor narrators read the book. Can’t wait for the rest of the books to come out on audible.

Holy Hotness

I absolutely loved this as a read! But on audio??!! That’s another level of damn hotness! The voices are so hot, story amazing! Everything I want from an audio book!!!! I need this whole series on audio!

Distorted

This is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. Dash is a young Russian American bank robber. His dad taught him all the tricks and how not to get caught. Until he got set up and everything went wrong. Instead on going to prison the world thinks he is dead. He actually ended up somewhere way worse. He has found himself in Alabaster Penitentiary. This is where the New York government send the worst of the worst criminals. This is a MM forced proximity dark romance. Check trigger warnings. I can’t wait for more in this series! Michael Gallagher and Bryant Walker did a phenomenal job narrating this book.
