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 don’t mind these books. What I like about this series ?

All of the books to date include relatively similar timelines so you get a glimpse of each character in the same moment of time. Combine all the books and you have an 8 character POV.

I’ve read all these books on audiobook and what I have found frustrating is that the author used the same voice actors for all the books . Bridget , Stella and Jules all have Ava’s voice and all the men are Alex.

I like this voice actor but we need the characters to have slightly different voices in their books .

I also, while on book three only am a little surprised that all the men have a serious “mine” complex. I don’t mind it but am a little surprised that at least one of the men isn’t a bit softer .

Overall a decent series .
