5 STARS. YES I SAID IT. Now, when i heard everyone didn’t enjoy Josh and this book in general, i was pretty scared to read this. I got Twisted Games and this one at the same time, and i took a break from reading games so I read this. Which was a MISTAKE cuz i just could NOT put this down 😭😭 I finished this book in one go, and i don’t regret it one bit. This made me go through all the feels. I LOVED jules character in twisted love so i was super excited to read this and i’m always a sucker for an enemies to lovers story. Honestly, i would recommend this to anyone who loves the same tropes as me. So if this is perfect to my standards, what are people’s problems with this? 🤔Weelll to address the elephant in the room, I have to understand that both Jules and Josh did some immoral stuff. Most people’s issue with this book is just Josh ☠️ I try to understand where they’re coming from, but if you have a problem with Josh in Twisted Hate, how could you like Alex in twisted love??? Josh and Jules both wronged each other while Alex hurt two people and Ava didn’t do anything to hurt him directly?? 😭 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE?? But on a more serious note, I’m not condoning what Josh did. He was pretty much blinded by betrayal and in any rivals/enemies to lovers, it’s hard to differentiate love and hate because they’re both passionate feelings. Hear me out on this, but Josh is a pretty passionate person, and by his own standards, it hurt to be kept in the dark by Jules. Even though I do think he was being overdramatic, we as readers need to understand that characters have to be a lil unlikable to be like likeable (think of how someone can’t be happy without facing any moments of nothing. you cannot have something without not having it before). And I actually think that this conflict was resolved extremely well, it was neatly settled and Josh redeemed himself Compared to Twisted Love (which i was thoroughly disappointed with), Twisted Hate was like a breath of fresh air. 5/5 stars josh and jules u will always be my favs

I actually did end up liking Josh Chen. I enjoyed this book more than twisted love but not as much as twisted games

The story was fine but I found it to be too slow. Repetitive descriptions of the same things I found annoying. Felt like the author ran out of adjectives and how to describe scenes. Nicely tied into the first two books though.

De momento este es el libro que más he disfrutado de la serie. Me queda por leer Twisted Lies y no voy a mentir, le tengo muchas ganas a Christian Harper. Como personaje secundario me resulta interesante, a ver como prota.
Dicho eso, volvamos a Twisted Hate:
He disfrutado la trama de este libro desde el principio porque Jules me robó el corazoncito y su pasado me rompía el alma en mil pedazos, así que estaba con ella deseándole lo mejor contra viento y marea.
Josh...estaba ahí. Diría que lo soportaba, pero sería demasiado amable.
Me gustaba verlo con otros personajes y creo que tenía mucha química con Alex y su second chance bromance.
Pero mientras que con Alex en Twisted Love pensaba: "tio, ve a terapia o algo y supera esta etapa emo que tienes"; con Josh pensaba: "no hay nada que se pueda hacer, hay que sacrificarlo".
(Aun lo pienso).
A favor de mi propuesta de eliminación total de este hombre ficticio, presentaré las pruebas de que Alex Volkov, psicópata ya conocido, dijo: "buah, tio, te pasas". Si Alex piensa que te estás pasando, teniendo una casa a las afueras digna de un asesino en serie...Es que estás mal.
Terminaré esta breve opinión con una reflexión: Si los protagonistas masculinos de la serie Twisted se quedaran encerrados en una habitación, y dando por hecho que Josh ha desaparecido en misteriosas circunstancias por cierto acto perpetrado en este libro...¿Solo habría silencio o se comunicarían entre gruñidos?
