This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.

I think this book was by far the best in the series it had a stronger more intriguing plot. There was more depth and detail to it.

 “To everyone whose favorite color is morally gray.”
Give it up for Stella and Christian. The butterfly and her brooding protector.  I will say I have a soft spot for Ava and Alex, since they were the first in the series but I think this one was my favorite in the series. Christian was obsessed and protective, perfect book boyfriend material. I did think it was a bit long, but I understand the need to round out the series as well as possible, which was done well. Stella was the most relatable twisted girl to me, and therefore I felt the most connected to this story. Some of my favorite scenes were when all the couples reunited for parties and events. Some parts dragged a little in the first few hundred pages but the slow burn was slow burning. I cannot be mad at that. Overall, no matter how many romance books I read, my twisted babies will always have a place in my heart.... Christian and Stella for the win.

 “Careful, Stella.” His low warning pulsed between my legs. “I’m not the gentleman you think I am.”
… My reply fought it’s way past my dry throat.
“I don’t think you’re a gentleman at all.”
A slow, lazy smile tugged at his lips. “Smart girl.”

 “I will always be here if you need me, no matter how far in distance or time. I don’t care if we’re on different continents or if it’s five, fifty years in the future. I never want you to wake up and feel like you’re alone because you’re not. You’ll always have me.”

BEST TWISTED COUPLE I SAID WHAT I SAID

Stella kinda of annoyed me in the beginning but she needed to work through her problems and I loved her development. Christian definitely needed to be humanized and I’m happy with how it ended. Probably one of my favorites of the series.

The Twisted series really hasn’t missed! I enjoyed this one a lot and found Stella’s anxiety pretty relatable. This book made me wanna date a billionaire SO BAD (if you’re my bf reading this then just ignore that last sentence 😉). I thought this book had great plot and sub-plots. This definitely wasn’t my favorite book of the series but I really loved Stella, and Christian was a perfect example of morally gray!
