I loved the characters and the plot was easy to follow. I loved the storyline and how it was like a 2nd chance romance. The ending was very surprising and kinda felt like it came out of nowhere but it was interesting.

PEETA MELLARK! I have watched the movie so I knew what was going to happen but many things were a little bit different which kept me on my toes. It’s safe to say I loved this book. I have been meaning to read this series for so long so I’m glad I finally am and I did not disappoint.

I enjoyed the book and connected with the characters but I felt the plot just got lost. The ending was especially confusing and felt anticlimactic.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought the characters and awesome backstories that I was very interested in. There were parts that were kinda confusing but over all it was very interesting and I loved seeing there relationship bloom. They weren’t really that much of enemies to begin with but it was an enemies to lover trope which I love.

This was the perfect end to the series and I loved how Christian truly grew throughout the book. There relationship was so deep and felt so true. I loved at the end that they showed all the characters from the other books together again. Now that I have finished all the series my ranking is 1 Twisted Games 2 Twisted Lies 3 Twisted Love 4 Twisted Hate.

I found that I couldn’t connect with the characters at all so it just felt very boring. I really liked the concept of this book though. It just felt sorta uneventful.

This book is my least favorite of the Twisted Series so far but it is still such a good book. I think its my least favorite because it is so real and that could actually happend. I love living my delusion and no thinking about the real shit. This book told us so much more about Jules and I love her. I loved how Josh actually grew and got so much better as the book went on.

The characters in this book felt so real. I loved Bridget no matter what and she didnt feel like she was just there to be fucked. The tension in this book though! It has a sweet ending that I was not expecting but loved. Lastly RHYS LARSON>>>>>
