I didn’t love the first 10%. The references weren’t my fave and I think the allusion to Twisted Love’s kidnapping scene was important but poorly executed. The book really picks up after the first 10%.
The indoor festival??? Are you kidding??!? The first hug??? “Come here princess??” Shut up I’m blushing. I am fully in love with Rhys and it’s totally fine.
Huang’s writing definitely improved in this one and it shows. You could really feel what Bridget felt, especially the loneliness. The spice also improved... like this is for real spicy. There’s also way more chemistry between Rhys and Bridget than Ava and Alex.
There are still some points where it could’ve been cleaned up. I still don’t love the use of flashbacks, but it was still better in Twisted Games. I also don’t like how the author explains what she’s alluding to and showing - let the reader recall the information and infer and understand. It makes the character development feel more natural. Also one more editing read through would’ve caught some very minor issues that did take away from the story for me.
The plot twist was surprisingly surprising. I really thought I new exactly how to would pan out and I didn’t!
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this. I didn’t want to put it down (after the 10% point) and I really really love Rhys and Bridget. I’m excited to read Josh and Jules next!!
