“I’ll be short about the suspense aspect of the novel: Mrs. Blackthorn knows how to captivate a reader with a tale that is getting eerier with every page. The lust-driven killer in Twerk is a deeply sinister character. Mrs. Blackthorn describes his sadistic nature in scenes that definitely will chill your bones. Near the end of her story, she unveils the reason why this man is so ruthless and scary, and then you realize that the seeds of enjoying the fear, humiliation, and pain of others lie in all of us…” Bob Van Laerhoven

“Unabashedly raw and sexy, TWERK is the latest novel by author Isobel Blackthorn of Melbourne, Australia. One part crime thriller and one part pure nightmare fuel, TWERK is set in the gritty yet dazzling world of Las Vegas’ strip clubs.

Amber thinks she has met the man of her dreams when she has a spontaneous encounter with a paramedic. That dream is quickly shattered when she learns that he is a sadistic kidnapper and not the boyfriend material she originally took him for. Meanwhile, friend and co-worker Lana hustles her way through a weekend of work as a dancer at one of Las Vegas’ popular strip clubs. She investigates the suspicious death of a patron while taking us through the ins and outs of her job, all the while unaware that Amber is being put in increasing amounts of danger.

If you’re curious about the life of a stripper, TWERK is the perfect novel to read. From the glamorous to the mundane, it leaves nothing out and describes things in incredible detail. The novel comes off quite genuine as Blackthorn has insider knowledge of what it is like to work in a strip club. She mentions her daughter is a high profile stripper who was able to give first-hand accounts of dealing with customers and the everyday, the relationships between dancers and all the little things involved in her profession. With this book, Blackthorn is aiming to break the mainstream misconceptions and stigma she has noticed that surround the industry…

TWERK comes into the genre just as it is shaking things up for sex workers. This year CAM recently took us all by storm as it finished its festival run and arrived on Netflix. CAM has been praised and rightly so, for portraying the reality that is camming and now with TWERK we can see into what it’s like to dance and strip for a living. TWERK shows sex workers in a positive light just for what they are: hard working people, and it shows sex work for what it is: work.

An erotic thriller full of sex and violence TWERK sets out to titillate and it succeeds. Full of scenarios that would be anyone’s worst nightmare, it is definitely a heart pounding read.” – Erin Grant, Fear Forever
