Spoilers ahead! Proceed at your own risk.
This book is the last of the series. As I finished, I felt so empty and unwell! I cannot believe this series had such an impact on me as a reader. The series wrapped up well and Ana Huang is an amazing author. She always has me hooked with whatever she writes. I’m glad that even though the series can be read standalone, I still read them in order, which tugged at my emotions as I got to know each couple individually. As for the tome itself, I thought it was a masterpiece! The pacing was definitely taking its time, but i loved EVERY MINUTE of it as I am a sucker for slow AGONIZING burn love. Christian was a sloth but it’s alright because once everything unraveled, it was worth it. I LOVEEE CHRISTIAN. HE IS THE STANDARD! He is a romantic, detailed-oriented, helpful, grumpy, ruthless, crazy, psycho, shrewd, intelligent, irrational, you name it. He is my DREAM book boyfriend. Don’t even get me started on his suits, always adjusting cuff links and sleeves rolls, and yanking his ties (I melted every time). One of my favorite scenes was when Christian took her to his apartment and bathed her. He is such a gentleman it hurts. Also how he comforted Stella when he found her crumbled up under her sidetable because she was so frightened with the stalker. The scene almost made me tear up. Stella is one of the most delicate, royal, compassionate character. I think her character development was written really well. She went from this scared, demure, and a pleaser to confident and strong person (with Christian’s help of course). Even though Christian is a psychopath, I was ravenous for him! He blew up someone’s car because they smiled at him wrong and them stolen his parking spot. Especially when he was dealing with the stalker had me GAGGED! Or when he stabbed Stella’s groper hand slowly and then spilled his $20k vintage wine on his ravaged wound, then shot the guy on his way out, GAGGEDD! His ruthlessness is so so sexy and fine. Especially when he puts on his “gloves.” I love his obsession with Stella! This man lowered their rent with a “done,” no debate needed. I love all the couples’ friendships. They are a family and are always there to protect one another. It was beautiful how they try to make as much time with each other now that they’re all grown. Alex’s and Josh’s cameos were funny. Josh was always saying/doing something inane to piss Christian and Alex off. Did I mention how HOT it was to see Christian and Alex play chess together? Drool!! I’m beaming with joy that Ava, Bridget, Jules, and Stella have found their love partners and deservedly so. Their bond is unbreakable. Congrats to Ava, Bridget, and Stella with the twin, daughter, and a pregnancy. Christian will EAT his words AGAIN as always for making fun of Rhys being a father (though certain kids really were obnoxious). Overall, this series is immaculate and perfect in every way. It is a must read AND as much as i hate to say this, but they definitely need to be read in order! P.S. Christian chipped away at me piece by piece. Christian has my heart, mind, and soul.

twisted feelings
I did not know how I was going to feel about this story, but honestly it was better than I expected. Parts of this book were slow and I thought I wasn’t gonna make it through. But details and unexpected moments kept me going and I’m so happy that I did, because their story is beautiful and I loved it for them.

Ana has done it again!!!
4.75 ⭐️3 🌶OMG!!!! I read this book in 24 hours and somehow even 2 weeks later, have not processed it completely. The book hangover is INTENSEI don’t know how it’s possible but every book in the Twisted series gets better than the last. Thai time around with Stella and Christian is no exception. They are two people you wouldn’t picture together but make sense in every way. They bring out the best in each other: Christina helps Stella self-confident and she makes him you know less…morally gray 😂.I loved Stella! Before starting Twisted Lies, I didn’t think I’d like her story because she isn’t as prominent in the other books so there wasn’t a lot of connection. After finishing, I can say she’s my favorite Twisted girl. She’s inspiring: despite her internal battles with anxiety, trust issues as well as family struggles, she still exudes genuine kindness.And Mr. Christian Harper takes boy obsessed to a whole new level (what is it with men named Chrisitan and obsessions?! Thinking of Allister from the Maddest Obsession here). I was living for his ‘touch her and I’ll kill you’ energy the entire time. Sir was out here calling Rhys whipped 2 books ago?! Like he was eating up those words with a forklift all throughout this book. And I don’t know anyone else but I love a borderline-stalker simp so Christian is an instant book boyfriend for life.One of the best things about Ana Huang’s books is the writing. I think the Twisted series has some of the best crafted romances I’ve ever read. They never lag, even with the ones over 500 pages. Not only is there an organic build up of each relationship with real struggles to overcome but each character has an independant arc and so much nuance. I’m not usually a fan of a slow burn but after reading Stella and Christian’s story, I can see its merit. This couple especially needed some build up because unlike the other Twisted couples, they didn’t know each other for years. ALSO each FMC is so relatable! I simultaneously want to be them and be best friends with them. Speaking of best friends, that epilogue got me wishing for a similar future with my own friends.In terms of rating, I’d say the spice is on par with Twisted Love, which I consider 3/5 🌶. And Twisted Hate was my highest rated book of the year and everything, including Twisted Lies, is inadvertently compared with it. So I’d say this book is around 4.75 ⭐️.Overall, Ana Huang did not disappoint 🤩. I love everything about this book even though I prefer a fast burn to a slow burn.Rarely is there an ending as satisfying as this. Ana Huang’s Twisted Lies is a love letter to the entire series and fans everywhere will be equally satisfied and heartbroken when saying goodbye to these characters. I recommend the Twisted series to all of my friends and I’ll be reading everything else Ana writes, starting with King of Wrath in October 2022!Tropes: slow burn, forced proximity, billionaire romance, grumpy-sunshineFinal series ranking:Twisted HateTwisted LiesTwisted GamesTwisted LoveFMC:StellaJulesBridgetAvaMMC:JoshChristianRhysAlex

Interesting love story
In the fourth book of the series, Stell! and Christian finally get together. Stella appears to be very calm and self-assured, but she is really crippled with self-doubt about her life and abilities. Christian appears to be cold, controlled, and brilliant, but he has an extremely dangerous underside.The first 300+ pages are a slow foreplay between the two, with a fake relationship to help Stella grow her brand. Stella has a stalker, Christian uses his security company to protect her.The 6 other characters who were featured in the prior 3 books continue to play their part in the story, especially in the epilogue.I recommend this book.

I’m still emotional after finishing this one! What a beautiful story! I feel like it was the perfect balance of all three of the other books but even better. The betrayal from book 1, the love and dedication from book 2, the banter from book 3, it had a perfect mix of all of those qualities. I only ever drop reviews on the best of the best I’ve read and this one was worth the time. If you don’t know if this is worth reading, yes! Read it ♥️ wish it wasn’t over…

I want to start of saying that I loved the first 3 books in this series so my expectations were high. And after reading a heartbreaking romance I wanted something spicy and this is just that. I was a little concerned about halfway in without much spice but we got there eventually. And the storytelling is really good, I couldn’t put it down!Stella is such a relatable character. Slightly introverted, avoids conflict at any price and just a really nice person. Throughout the book she really grows more comfortable in her skin and that’s so inspiring to see. And then we have Christian the morally gray alpha hero, need I say more.Beware of triggers warnings before reading this one, there are a bunch.I love the girls but come on, the dynamics between their partners. I would be down for an entire book about a guys trip, that would be wild I mean just imagine all the possibilities.
