The biggest plot twist  is that Alex is my favorite of the guys in this series so far. And that he continues to grow on me. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

Overall, this was fun. I’d say it’s tied with Love for my favorite so far. I like Jules more than Ava, but Alex more than Josh. I think J+J’s relationship arc is more realistic, but A+A’s dynamic is more entertaining.

The best part, though, hands down, was seeing the stage set for the next book, which is unabashedly the reason I’ve read the others. Christian is so whipped already and it’s delightful. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)

Current series ranking:

1. Twisted Love/Twisted Hate
2. Twisted Games

Representation:

• fat protagonist
• Chinese-American protagonist & side character
• multiracial side character (Japanese, Black & Puerto Rican)
• lesbian side character

Sexual content is explicit but always consensual. Sexual harassment is of one protagonist by a side character, in the form of using a sex tape as blackmail. There are mentions of death, near-death situations and child abuse from the protagonists’ pasts, and of blood and various injuries due to one of them working as an ER doctor. Things tagged minor are the methods of various deaths mentioned over the course of the book. It’s also mentioned that a side character was almost drowned as a child.

Very similar quality to Twisted Games. I liked the climax but after it was too fluffy. I really enjoyed this book best I’ve read out of the series so far.

I enjoyed this book overall (I was still thinking about how great twisted games was lol). I thought the smut was hot and heavy and I enjoyed Jules and Josh’s back and forth. Their relationship progressed nicely and the story was easy to follow. I did find myself laughing at some moments which was refreshing.

I wish Jules would’ve just told Josh everything from the beginning even though I understood why she was scared to. I also understand why Josh was upset with her but that scene after she confesses everything is brutal! He was really fucked yo for that. I appreciate that she didn’t just immediately go back to him but I wish she would’ve made him beg a little more because he was very fucked up. I am happy they reconciled though.

I actually like Alex better in this book than the first. He’s still grumpy but has more personality, plus he calls Josh out which is nice.

Why is this book so long? I feel like we could have wrapped this up sooner.
