NOOOOO. I DON’T WANT THIS SERIES TO END. i love them sooooo muchhhhhh. the characters have such a special place in my heart. ughh i’m crying. the epilogue… my heart… awwweeehhhhhh.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. it was perfect, adorable, cute, amazing, sexy and HOT. SO HOT. the smut was perfect, perfect, perfect. Christian and Stella were the last book but they SERVED. my man was OBSESSED, as he should tbh because Stella was such a queen. i think she’s my favourite out of all of them (i still love the others so much). even though Alex is still my favourite love interest, Christian is a close second. omg i’m gonna cry just thinking about them.

i read this book in like 9-10 hours. i’ve been waiting for it so freaking long and it was worth it. the plot, the romance, the smut and, again, THE CHARACTERS… freaking amazing. i’m gonna miss them so much but again i can always reread it (which i definitely will) <333 i can’t wait for Ana’s next seriesss!!

I didn’t expect to fall so hard for Twisted Lies, but here I am—utterly wrecked in the best way. From the very first page, Ana Huang pulled me into a world of tension, longing, and perfectly executed slow-burn romance.

Stella and Christian… wow. I didn’t know what to make of Christian Harper at first. He’s intense, mysterious, and terrifyingly in control—but somehow, Ana made me need to know more. And then there’s Stella. I saw so much of myself in her: independent, kind, chasing her dreams even when she’s unsure of herself. Their chemistry? Off the charts. The way their fake relationship slowly morphed into something raw and real had me hanging on every word.

What really surprised me, though, was how much depth this book had. Beyond the steamy moments and witty banter, it tackled self-worth, trust, and the trauma we carry in silence. Stella’s vulnerability hit me in places I didn’t expect, and Christian’s character arc—from cold and calculated to someone capable of love—was so satisfying to witness.

By the time I turned the last page, I wasn’t ready to let go. Twisted Lies isn’t just a romance—it’s a story about healing, about risking your heart even when it’s scary, and about finally being seen for who you are. If you love protective, morally grey men and strong women who learn to stand even taller, this book is for you.

i thought stella being an influencer would make this book intolerable, but she and christian ended up being my favorites characters in the series!

DNF at 54%. Boring. Slow burn and by slow burn I mean they haven't even kissed yet and I'm more than half way through it. I've read all the other Twisted books, yes they are not the most thrilling of series but this last one just made them worse as a whole. I had every intention of finishing it and despite that I still couldn't. This book has put me off reading for a month or two. I'm reading spoilers of twisted lies so that I can start reading the Kings of Sin series by Ana Huang because I still think she's an amazing author.

This was the best book out of the lot. To be honest, each next book was better than the previous. Christian was also the best one. I’m obsessed with him and how he treats Stella. SMASH!

The amount of typos was actually insane. Like, I usually find one or less in an entire book, but I found so dang many here. Usually it didn’t make it too hard to understand the story, but near the end, the typos were so many and so confusing I was SOOO lost.

Basically that’s an issue that shouldn’t have made it past the editors.

Good story. Smash the MMC.
