challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced

I just finished "Twisted Hate" by Ana Huang, and WOW, what a ride. At first, I wasn’t sold on the friends-with-benefits setup between Jules and Josh. I'm not big on so much smut and I wasn’t sure where it was going. But as I kept reading, I found myself completely drawn into their story.

The real magic happens as their relationship deepens and evolves. Jules, in particular, really struck a chord with me. Her way of thinking and her journey felt so relatable and real to me. Seeing how their connection transformed from something seemingly casual into a complex, heartfelt bond was amazing.

By the end, I was fully invested and absolutely loved the way everything turned out. If you’re looking for a story that grows on you and offers some genuine character development, "Twisted Hate" is definitely worth a read!

*Ps i DID love this more than Twisted games for some reason rip

4 stars because he pissed me off and i probably wouldn’t forgive him. good enemies to lovers tho and loved the banter

God damn

When will I learn that TikTok books are not good? This is a very childish book with unconvincing writing and unrealistic characters.

Twisted Hate by Ana Huang is a scorching enemies-to-lovers romance that keeps the Twisted series’ fire burning, though it’s not without flaws. The chemistry between Jules Ambrose and Josh Chen is pure dynamite, with their banter and sizzling tension stealing the show. Josh’s witty, funny personality is a highlight, bringing levity and charm that make him endlessly likable. Their romance is absolute fire: passionate, intense, and packed with spicy scenes that live up to the series’ reputation. The interconnected world of Ana Huang’s universe continues to shine, tying characters across the series seamlessly.

However, the infamous “I lied” moment felt like a cheap gut-punch, leaving me frustrated with its unnecessary drama. Jules, an aspiring lawyer, also disappointed me with her irrational behavior toward her ex. It felt out of character for someone so sharp and driven, undermining her otherwise fierce and compelling arc. Despite these missteps, the emotional depth and electric romance kept me hooked. Twisted Hate isn’t perfect, but Josh and Jules’ fiery dynamic makes it a thrilling addition to the series.
