De momento este es el libro que más he disfrutado de la serie. Me queda por leer Twisted Lies y no voy a mentir, le tengo muchas ganas a  Christian Harper. Como personaje secundario me resulta interesante, a ver como prota.

 Dicho eso, volvamos a Twisted Hate:
He disfrutado la trama de este libro desde el principio porque Jules me robó el corazoncito y su pasado me rompía el alma en mil pedazos, así que estaba con ella deseándole lo mejor contra viento y marea.
Josh...estaba ahí. Diría que lo soportaba, pero sería demasiado amable.
Me gustaba verlo con otros personajes y creo que tenía mucha química con Alex y su second chance bromance.
Pero mientras que con Alex en Twisted Love pensaba: "tio, ve a terapia o algo y supera esta etapa emo que tienes"; con Josh pensaba: "no hay nada que se pueda hacer, hay que sacrificarlo".
(Aun lo pienso).
A favor de mi propuesta de eliminación total de este hombre ficticio, presentaré las pruebas de que Alex Volkov, psicópata ya conocido, dijo: "buah, tio, te pasas". Si Alex piensa que te estás pasando, teniendo una casa a las afueras digna de un asesino en serie...Es que estás mal.

Terminaré esta breve opinión con una reflexión: Si los protagonistas masculinos de la serie Twisted se quedaran encerrados en una habitación, y dando por hecho que Josh ha desaparecido en misteriosas circunstancias por cierto acto perpetrado en este libro...¿Solo habría silencio o se comunicarían entre gruñidos?

Man, this book had quite the hill to climb in my eyes. Jules and Josh are two of the most annoying characters I've ever read, so I'm thankful they stopped bickering relatively early in the story. Speaking of early on, Jules insults the size of Josh's genitals several times. A little odd already, but given that Josh is an Asian man, the comment becomes... racist? Bigoted? Whatever the proper term, it made me uncomfortable. All in all, I read this because I'm a completionist.

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