I will try the sequel to see if the author is going to be a "no-buy author" for me.

Not going to lie, this book is a bit intense, but it works (highly recommend checking out content warnings before deciding to read this). Twisted Love almost felt more romantic thriller to me since there are a lot of thriller aspects in the book, but this book kept me glued to my Kindle screen and had me to the very last page.
Really good dynamics between Ava and Alex and I liked how Huang took time to explore Alex’s moral greyness. I'm currently reading another one of her works (King of Pride) and I really like Huang's writing style when it comes to these complex characters and their relationships with others. Also, if you’re a fan of groveling in romance books, Huang has so much of that in Twisted Love. Read if you want a dark, grumpy x sunshine romance that has a similar vibe to a romantic thriller.

I liked the steamy scenes/ spice level, and I liked the plot twists. The story was interesting enough for me to keep reading.
BUT:
The possessiveness / stalker tendencies of Alex were SO bad - like if a man ever behaved this way with me I’d be calling the police and I hate how Ana Huang romanticized his behaviour. So much of the plot was cringey and unrealistic. The writing is not going to win any awards either.

Listen. The plot? Predictable. The characters? Mid. The vibes? Immaculate. This was so fun. I laughed out loud. I swooned. I had multiple WTF moments about her being just so OK with him being like, a murderer and being an overbearing, jealous, grade A for Asshole, douchebag. However, I'm going to read the rest of them because the banter (when things weren't going like, completely off the rails) was actually quite fun. And I did enjoy the female characters so like, I want the next one.
