Bended Loyalty by Kat Caldwell is a well-plotted,
fast-paced, and intriguing tale that explores family, loyalty, and one man’s
journey to create a way forward when the past won’t let him go. Tristen Levisay
is the guitarist for The Seethers’ band, and the band is on the verge of success,
which means life is about to get better for him, a rockstar. Then everything
changes when his twin brother, Talon, the band's frontman, betrays them and
joins a different band. Tristen’s life is taken back to the rough beginnings in
Kentucky, where his mother is about to lose the house. He must save the house,
his mother, and himself; to do so, he decides to return to the underground boxing
ring. A few fights are enough to give him some money. But he quickly realizes
that the fights are more than what he experiences in the boxing ring. Some enemies will do anything to bring him down. Can he protect himself, his
mother, and the house?
Kat Caldwell’s novel delivers superior storytelling,
exquisite prose, and nuanced characters. This is a story about family, and the
author excels at exploring family dynamics and weaving realism and humanity
into the scenes. The dialogue is captivating, and it is well-crafted to enhance the drama that unfolds on the pages. Tristen is a stunningly imagined and expertly
sculpted protagonist, genuinely flawed and struggling to address problems on multiple fronts for himself and his family. Themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the
fragile bonds that hold a family together are cleverly explored in this
mesmerizing tale. Bended Loyalty has the fiery wit and snap that
transform it into an engaging read. A young man about to experience a
breakthrough it brought back to the level of hardship he once experienced
before and what follows is a resonating, candid, and I can’t say it enough,
spellbinding, journey to reshape his life and family. This is a book for you if
you are looking for a story that presents an elaborately developed hero and
strong themes of family.
