I enjoyed this. Felt like the miscommunication was a little annoying, but overall thought it was resolved well.

 Twisted Hate wasn't as good as the first two; Jules and Josh's relationship story didn't interest me enough. It was nice to watch their relationship grow, but some points made no sense or were a bit cringe; at one point, Josh sounded an awful lot like Alex, which was out of character for his usually sunshine self.

Nonetheless, the Max and Jules plotline was interesting; getting to know Jules and her background better was good. It would have been nice to get to know Josh and his background a bit better; I know we saw some of it from Ava's story in Twisted Love, but it would have been good to see Josh's background from his POV. However, it was good to get some Josh and Alex scenes; they make a great couple.

Twisted Hate was a fun read; it had some tense scenes, but Jules and Josh's banter made for some hilarious scenes. And that ending was pure cheese but fitting for their relationship.

Now it's time to read Twisted Lies, and I have been excited about this since Christian's introduction in Twisted Games.

If there is one thing I love about Ana Huang’s romance novels, is that when the couple inevitably breaks up, they don’t spend CHAPTERS heart broken and angry. Twisted Hate is a classic enemies to lovers romance novel with the right amount of clapbacks, attitude and smut.

I’m glad we see Josh get the closure he deserves and his relationship with Alex recovers
