Ms 3rd act break up is back again with her 4th installment of the Twisted Series!
Stella and Christian were actually my favorite couple outside of Bridget and Rhys. Suuuuuper cringey, but the spice scenes were really spicing🌶️

this series has a chokehold over me & I will absolutely never be over it!!! I was beyond ready for stella and christian’s story, and it did not disappoint 👏🏼

christian is my favorite allusive morally grey character (and in my head he’s ben barnes okay 🥵)! I know he gets a lot of hate for being overprotective and literally willing to unalive people for looking at those he cares about the wrong way … BUT he has a heart of gold and he can do no wrong in my book 

I’m whipped it’s fine

just like my queen stella!! she’s an inspiration, an icon, and she deserves to feel like the legend that she is! dealing with concepts of being an influencer, I loved that ideas such as creating fake content and “asking for it” just because your profile is public were a huge part of the plot. it’s important to treat everyone like a human being!!! 

however, I think my favorite scenes were those with jules, ava, and bridget (and their boyfriends of course) ☺️ AND with dante and vivian! having already read KING OF WRATH, I appreciated how it all tied together but also set up the plot for those who haven’t read it yet!

the suspense wasn’t as intense or shocking as I would have liked, but it certainly kept my intrigue up for 500+ pages 

ana huang has solidified herself as an auto buy author for me, and I need her to write more ASAP!!

A temptation with no escape. 
An obsession with no end. 
An addiction with no cure.

First I would like to say that this book was perfect to end the series. It was so heartwarming to see all the characters from the previous books and of course characters from the book itself. It tied everything up in a excellent way! I literally don’t want the series to stop. These books consumed me and the characters were so lovable.
Ok moving onto the actual book. I’ve heard some complaints that this books characters take forever to get together. But personally I loved it. It was nice to see them both want each other but not want to react on it. The time it took for them together wasn’t just “passing” moments. The moments were real and raw and gave the characters to really learn about each other before getting in a relationship. They had conversations that most couples would have in a relationship and most likely fight about, but they had these conversations as friends. So it was almost easier for them to start an relationship. I loved the characters and the way they both are pinning for each other. They are really a perfect match. Stella is lovable and cute! I also love her aesthetic! Stella was a boss woman she was creating her brand and really diving into who she really is as a person, which I loved. Christian I loved him as well. I loved all the ways he bends his rules for Stella. Some of the different things he did were so sweet. It shows his vulnerable side. He is so tender when it comes to Stella, as much so that I want somebody to be like that to me! The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of the fact he sort of stalk her, but I did love the fact he kept that ring. He barely even knew her and kept the ring because it reminded him of her. Ugh Christian is literally so head over heels in love with from the start and that’s why the book is worth the wait for them to be a couple. 
Anyways, I want to read this book again for the first time! It’s definitely one of those books that after you read it you think about the different scenes again for awhile. This series is wonderful! I am not huge series reader, so they fact that I read all 4 books, and one of those books had over 500 pages, then this series is an AMAZING! I get intimidated by books with 500+ page. I give a round of applause to Ana Huang for writing such lovable characters and interesting plots!👏🏻💗
