Ok these books are I think objectively not good?? Not trying to be a snob but the writing, the inconsistencies, I even seen some grammar mistakes which I have never before. The plots are outlandish and the MMCs are unbelievable the FMCS frankly boring and the stakes are unnecessarily high and don’t make sense. Not to mention these are like the same book four times. Morally gray MMC (maybe a billionaire) who CANT date FMC for whatever reason but omg they are obsessed (to a concerning degree) and can’t help it and have to f them senseless (seriously can’t any of them enjoy like… gentle… they always pounding them to a new galaxy or something). 

BUT I read them. And quickly. They are addicting!!! I don’t know why!!! Very easy to read if you get past being frustrated by the inconsistencies and just total lunacy that is the plot. Somehow I was able to. 

Do I think this book is good? No. 
Do I like it? I don’t think so. 
Did I enjoy myself??? I don’t even know if that is a yes!! 
Am I just really into smut? Absolutely not.  
WHY DID I READ THESE brb I gotta talk to my therapist about this

🌶️ erotic romance.
tropes: 
billionaire, fake dating, roommates, neighbors, forced proximity, touch her & you d!e
— slow-paced, dual pov

“despite what i said about love being a drug, stella was my greatest high. an temptation with no escape. an obsession with no end. an addiction with no cure.”

it took me a couple of days to finish this because i was reading multiple books at the same time, but i loved the story so much. it follows stella, a sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame. she is also a hopeless romantic who keeps her heart in a cage. but when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and house—of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, christian, she’s tempted to let herself feel sonething for the first time in a long time. 

first of all, if i am going to rank the whole twisted series, this will be on the second spot. the plot is amazing and it was perfectly written. for me, this book has the darkest concept in the whole series. the stalking trope also made the story more thrilling and interesting. i liked how ana huang built the characters and their personalities, especially the mmc. plus, the sexual tension between the main leads is phenomenal! one more thing i like about this book was the fact that ana huang made sure that the other characters in the previous books will be featured in the story. 

if you’re into erotic, drama romance, with spice and a little bit of dark concept, i would highly recommend for you to read the whole twisted series.

I loved this so much. I was initially intimidated going into it because I heard that others find it slow or boring but for me it was the perfect pace for the characters. I loved Christian harper!!!!! when i tell you that man is OBSESSED with his girl, very much a swoon-worthy read.

This… was THE best book out of this series-hands down. 

The characters, the scenes, the suspense… chefs kiss 

Ana has quite truly outdone herself on this one and I will most definitely be reading more of Ana Huang after completing this series. 

This book contains murder, torture, stalking, graphic bondage, etc. if any of these are in your trigger cards, I would suggest you leave this book out of your TBR. 

This book wrapped up everything I needed wrapped up for this series and I walk away feeling satisfied by my reads.

This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.
