"No wonder his name was Christian. He had a major God complex."

I had fun with this, actually. I love the connection between Christian and Stella and the "slow-burn" of their relationship. It did took a while for them to get together but I don't mind the waiting because it was worth it. I love how Stella seriously changed all of Christian's perspective when it comes to romance/love. The highest point in this book for me was the interaction between the four girls together with their respective partners. Christian's POV during Josh's apartment warming was the best! I was smiling so wide the whole two chapters! (I realized how much I love Josh as well...)

The lowest point for me was the shoot out between Christian and his "rival" (lol) which I find kinda corny in a way. It was also not much of a plot twister (same with Stella's stalker). I can say Ana Huang tried with that path but not really that something I like because I'd love if there' subtle clues in the story. They just explained how the stalker can be "someone close" in the end once it was revealed. 

Twisted Series Placements: Hate > Games > Lies > Love

I love how I started listening to the series' audiobook during my Feb Fukuoka trip and ended the series' audiobook back again in Fukuoka but June now. <3

Oh my god what a great end for this serie ! Ana didn’t disappoint 
I love Christian and Stella so much (well I love all of Ana Huang’s FMC that’s for sure) 

Loves everything about this book, the plot, the characters and the epilogue 🥹

Christian just entered my top 2 fav twisted man with Ryhs !  I love a man who can hack everything and everyone… that’s hot…

If you are wondering about the "sexual assault" warning (I know I can be sensitive about the subject and resale appreciate when people explain a bit) if you don’t want the spoil I can say (as a sensitive person) that it is really minor :

Spoiler

when Stella fight with her stalker he pin her and lick her neck (no more details than that in the book)

I enjoyed the plot twist but i think the book is tied with 2nd place as far as favorites go in the twisted series. I can’t decide if I like twisted love more or less than this one. Christian obviously a very nice morally grey character. Improved the book 100%. I’d recommend if you’ve never read like the fmc having a stalker trope.

This book was okay. I loved the twisted series but this felt like the book plateaued so early. Twisted Hate even felt like it set this book’s plot up too well. It was a cute end to the series. Just was expected more. 

Stella is an influencer who has had a stalker for 2 years. He has been silent for a while but comes up again after she starts to fake date her landlord and security expert, Christian. Christian has been infatuated with Stella for a little bit and they start to get closer.
