 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.

Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Pedophilia

Jules describes non-consensual advances from her step-father, which is why I have indicated adult/minor relationship and pedophilia. These are not romanticized in the book, but discussed as trauma. However, there’s also a scene between Jules and Josh that qualifies as SA. Read with caution.
