This is an enemies to lovers, secret relationship with the best friend’s brother. I saw Jules and Josh’s relationship coming from the first book, but I really enjoyed learning more about Jules’ backstory. I also love that each of these books has some sort of action/mystery to them. I’m excited to read the last one soon.

So, I've read the third one. Going into this one my expectations were a bit low and I was really only reading it to get to Twisted Lies. Riding off the high Twisted Games gave me and hearing such great things about Twisted Lies, Twisted Hate just became "the book in the middle" in my mind if that makes sense. Safe to say my expectations were exceeded. Not to say this is better than Twisted Games, I enjoyed that book wayyy too much. However, I had a lot of fun. I didn't really love Jules or Josh as characters in the past two books but this book somehow molded my mixed feelings with them into them becoming really interesting and cool characters.

I liked the Jules ex-boyfriend plot even if I was screaming at her to just tell Josh the whole time. Josh was just Josh but even with him not seeming very interesting compared to his other two love interests in previous books I still found him compelling and I even ended up liking him by the end. I've got a billionaire, I've got a Bodyguard, I've got a CEO, and I've just got Josh is real in this book though, I feel bad for Jules when her friends invite her out and she probably has to decline due to money reasons lol. Anyways, enough jokes, genuinely liked this book, not as much as Twisted Games but more than Twisted Love. I've leave you with this, as always, Alex saves the day in this book too which is too funny, I bet he'll do the same in Twisted Lies.

All of the conflict could have been avoided with a little communication and based upon the first two books it shouldn't have been an issue. Jules personally knows two people that can (and would) track anyone across the planet and make the problems disappear without any questions BUT

she still feels cowed by some two-bit hustler from small town Ohio?!

Seriously, what?! The weakest entry into the series so far.
