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 love Rhys and Bridget. I’m a sucker for a bodyguard/royalty trope. Again I would like to say I love how Ana writes trauma and the way it completely changes a person. For better or worse what happens to you shapes you and I think she does a great job with that. I really enjoy her writing style and will definitely finish the series. Just not sure when since the next book is about people I don’t particularly care about. The banter in this book is top notch and they are like a drug that you just can’t put down. I will say I think they are a little too long this one especially since it had to explain all the stuff they were doing during the event of book one. Definitely check your trigger warnings for this one.

I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...

Absolutely love this book. Compared to Twisted Love, safe to say I most definitely love Twisted Games more!!! 
The beginning of the book may have started off a little slow but the events and pov changes entices and attracts you into the story. The plot was decently planned and flows well. 
The writing is easy flowing and simple to understand. It hits you in the feels. However, I personally get my feelings turned off when I see a cuss word unnecessarily in a sentence. Despite that, I still think this book is well-written for young adults to easily comprehend. 
I teared up and almost cried reading for the first time during the last two chapters before the epilogue. This book made me believe in love again. 🥰

RHYS LARSEN. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. 😭 He’s not only a secret romantic but also a secret cinnamon roll!!! 🥺
BRIDGET VON ASCHEBERG. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!! 💳💥 So proud of our Princess 🫶 from being scared and insecure, going through so much all at once, she pulled through and became the best version of herself. Highly respected, OUR QUEEN 🩷

Overall, this book was nice to read. It may feel draggy in the beginning, but the suspense when you reach the second half of Part 2, bless me. 
THERE ARE SPECIFIC CHAPTERS I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY READ AGAIN JUST TO FEED INTO MY DELULU AND BELIEVE IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. 🩷✨
