I enjoyed the Twisted series overall. The wasn’t my favorite but I really enjoyed Stella and Christian and sometimes you need a quick, addicting, toxic romance to get you through the day. This did just that. I still think the authors books are a bit long but the slow burn, and tension that builds up in the first like 50% usually makes it worth it.

3.0

This one was probably my least favorite. Not because it was bad. But I binged the series and I feel a little burnt out. Also Stella more Christian piqued my interest in the other books so I mostly just read this one to round the series out.

Alex/Ava --> Best Plot
Rhys/Bridget --> Best Tension (Fav Boy)
Josh/Jules --> Best Spice/Best Laughs (Fav girl)
Stella/Christian --> Best Mystery

This book was okay. I loved the twisted series but this felt like the book plateaued so early. Twisted Hate even felt like it set this book’s plot up too well. It was a cute end to the series. Just was expected more. 

Stella is an influencer who has had a stalker for 2 years. He has been silent for a while but comes up again after she starts to fake date her landlord and security expert, Christian. Christian has been infatuated with Stella for a little bit and they start to get closer.
