I don’t mind these books.  What I like about this series ? 

All of the books to date include relatively similar timelines so you get a glimpse of each character in the same moment of time.  Combine all the books and you have an 8 character POV. 

I’ve read all these books on audiobook and what I have found frustrating is that the author used the same voice actors for all the books .  Bridget , Stella and Jules all have Ava’s voice and all the men are Alex. 

I like this voice actor but we need the characters to have slightly different voices in their books . 

I also, while on book three only am a little surprised that all the men have a serious “mine” complex.  I don’t mind it but am a little surprised that at least one of the men isn’t a bit softer . 

Overall a decent series .

De momento este es el libro que más he disfrutado de la serie. Me queda por leer Twisted Lies y no voy a mentir, le tengo muchas ganas a  Christian Harper. Como personaje secundario me resulta interesante, a ver como prota.

 Dicho eso, volvamos a Twisted Hate:
He disfrutado la trama de este libro desde el principio porque Jules me robó el corazoncito y su pasado me rompía el alma en mil pedazos, así que estaba con ella deseándole lo mejor contra viento y marea.
Josh...estaba ahí. Diría que lo soportaba, pero sería demasiado amable.
Me gustaba verlo con otros personajes y creo que tenía mucha química con Alex y su second chance bromance.
Pero mientras que con Alex en Twisted Love pensaba: "tio, ve a terapia o algo y supera esta etapa emo que tienes"; con Josh pensaba: "no hay nada que se pueda hacer, hay que sacrificarlo".
(Aun lo pienso).
A favor de mi propuesta de eliminación total de este hombre ficticio, presentaré las pruebas de que Alex Volkov, psicópata ya conocido, dijo: "buah, tio, te pasas". Si Alex piensa que te estás pasando, teniendo una casa a las afueras digna de un asesino en serie...Es que estás mal.

Terminaré esta breve opinión con una reflexión: Si los protagonistas masculinos de la serie Twisted se quedaran encerrados en una habitación, y dando por hecho que Josh ha desaparecido en misteriosas circunstancias por cierto acto perpetrado en este libro...¿Solo habría silencio o se comunicarían entre gruñidos?

This is an enemies to lovers, secret relationship with the best friend’s brother. I saw Jules and Josh’s relationship coming from the first book, but I really enjoyed learning more about Jules’ backstory. I also love that each of these books has some sort of action/mystery to them. I’m excited to read the last one soon.

"Because the possibility of you is better than the reality of anyone else.”

There is something addictive in this shit because I am obsessed. By far my favourite in the series. I was giggling and squealing and just truly having THE BEST time (until the 80 - 91% mark, but we shall overlook that). On to the next.

Wow! Definitely, rough sex. I don't know about hate. Interesting read. This is my least favorite in the series. There was something missing between Jules and Josh. I loved the crazy banter and there is a transformation between the feeling  of hate and love. I enjoyed the ending, but I  didn't fully connect with the characters.
