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.

So, I've read the third one. Going into this one my expectations were a bit low and I was really only reading it to get to Twisted Lies. Riding off the high Twisted Games gave me and hearing such great things about Twisted Lies, Twisted Hate just became "the book in the middle" in my mind if that makes sense. Safe to say my expectations were exceeded. Not to say this is better than Twisted Games, I enjoyed that book wayyy too much. However, I had a lot of fun. I didn't really love Jules or Josh as characters in the past two books but this book somehow molded my mixed feelings with them into them becoming really interesting and cool characters.

I liked the Jules ex-boyfriend plot even if I was screaming at her to just tell Josh the whole time. Josh was just Josh but even with him not seeming very interesting compared to his other two love interests in previous books I still found him compelling and I even ended up liking him by the end. I've got a billionaire, I've got a Bodyguard, I've got a CEO, and I've just got Josh is real in this book though, I feel bad for Jules when her friends invite her out and she probably has to decline due to money reasons lol. Anyways, enough jokes, genuinely liked this book, not as much as Twisted Games but more than Twisted Love. I've leave you with this, as always, Alex saves the day in this book too which is too funny, I bet he'll do the same in Twisted Lies.
