5.0

i was not expecting to like this book as much as i did, but it exceeded my expectations! loved the character arcs (and the spice, of course). i predicted a few things throughout the book, but i didn’t mind that because the story was so engaging and i was hooked the entire time. also loved how the author connected characters and their backgrounds from the previous book into this one!

It’s hard to rate, this book. Because even though the book was fun. Some scenes gave me butterflies, the book didn’t change my life. I also must say the jealousy of the love interest got at times tiring. I will read the other books of the twisted series though.

I loved this book so much. I was a little bored at first, but I kept going because I've heard Rhys Larsen on TikTok several times; and OMG TikTok was not wrong in their obsession. I squealed so much with this book and I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to continue the series.

I loved the book and I loved the story line however I did find it pretty repetitive throughout the book. I did love the pop ups of the other characters as well like Alex and Ava
