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.

So far, Twisted Hate has been my favorite out the twisted series. I was living for Alex's and Jules's banter and found myself grinning so many times! I honestly enjoyed this book so much, but I do wish that Jules wouldn't have forgiven Alex so fast. I get why Alex was upset, but after what he said, Jules should have made him grovel a bit more. Other than that, it was a good 4 star read.

oldladysadie's review against another edition

The spice was great and what I was here for (let’s be honest), but I didn’t really care about the blackmail subplot or feel compelled to keep going
