Not going to lie, this book is a bit intense, but it works (highly recommend checking out content warnings before deciding to read this). Twisted Love almost felt more romantic thriller to me since there are a lot of thriller aspects in the book, but this book kept me glued to my Kindle screen and had me to the very last page.
Really good dynamics between Ava and Alex and I liked how Huang took time to explore Alex’s moral greyness. I'm currently reading another one of her works (King of Pride) and I really like Huang's writing style when it comes to these complex characters and their relationships with others. Also, if you’re a fan of groveling in romance books, Huang has so much of that in Twisted Love. Read if you want a dark, grumpy x sunshine romance that has a similar vibe to a romantic thriller.

E 5/10
-> 4.7/10
-> 3 stars
- C: idk, didn't really connect, but wasn't bad either
- W: was an audio book, narration was fine:)
- P: i'm torn on this one, even though there were plot twists i wasn't expecting, a lot was quite predictable, like that michael is not ava father. and even if it was surprising, i didn't really care...
- I: it took me forever to finish listening to this audiobook, i usually only listened to it, when i was doing other things and not, because i really wanted to know what will happen next
- L: not quite sure why alex lied to ava about his feelings after the kidnapping, but chances are high that that was mentioned and i just forgot...
- E: was alright, but i'm not eager to listen to the second book...

I didn't quite know what to expect out of this book, but for my first read in 2024, I am impressed!
