Ugh! My heart is so full from this book although it was ripped apart in the middle!

This was just perfect. Bridget and Rhys are the best main characters with depth and passion. The forbidden love between them was so beautifully written and although I had a feeling what might happen it kept me hanging and wanting to read on to make sure.

Just obsessed with Ana Huang’s writing 💛

3.75

After finishing the first book, I was excited to dive into this one. I already liked both Bridget and Rhys in Twisted Love, even though their relationship wasn’t explored in depth there. I’d say Twisted Games is an improvement over its predecessor, feeling less trope-filled overall (though it still has plenty in there).

Bridget was an alright character, but I found myself a bit underwhelmed. I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting—maybe more layers to her personality? While we know she likes animals and reading, those traits didn’t feel all that integral to the story beyond providing some background about her mom and that one scene with the upside-down book.

I preferred Rhys to Alex, though the two share many similarities as characters. For me, Rhys stood out because he felt less "insane" than Alex. I appreciated that he wasn’t as hung up on power and revenge, which made him more appealing as a male lead.

The romance between Bridget and Rhys was satisfying, taking years to develop and leaning into a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers dynamic (even with the frequent time jumps). I don’t have much to critique about their relationship—I think they worked well together. As for the spicy scenes, there were noticeably more than in the first book. Initially, I thought they served their purpose, but after a while, they started to feel repetitive. One way to address this could have been to vary the dominant and submissive roles, especially since Bridget is about to become the queen of Eldorra. I get that Bridget (like Ava, and likely the other leading ladies in the series) prefers a submissive role, and that’s fine, but from a reader’s perspective, a bit more variety would’ve been refreshing.

Overall, I’m giving Twisted Games 3.75 stars. While I think it’s the better book of the two I’ve read so far in the series, I’m still giving it the same rating because I just can’t bring myself to rate it higher than a 3.75.

Premier coup de cœur de 2025! Absolument incroyable. Je suis vraiment in love de Rhys, il est incroyable. J'ai adoré Bridget aussi, j'adore sa personnalité, sa détermination. Je préfère clairement ce tome à Twisted Love mais s'il était incroyable aussi.

SPICY with great plot. Enemies to lovers, out of my league tropes.

The time jumps in this story really made this a tough story to follow, but I can appreciate Huang’s style of throwing the reader into the story immediately – I was pulled into their world as quickly as possible. All the secret glances and soft touches I expected between Rhys and Bridget were non-existent as lust was emphasized over a secret relationship. Part of this has to be because of a slow burn I didn’t feel. Through the book, I felt like parts weren’t really engaging, but in the end, I love how Rhys and Bridget both found their comfort in each other.
