Twisted Love
by Ana Huang
"Twisted Love" by Ana Huang left me with mixed feelings. The book follows the tumultuous relationship between Alex Volkov, a cold and calculating businessman, and Ava Chen, a warm-hearted photographer. While the premise of a love story with dark undertones is intriguing, the execution fell short for me.
One of the main issues I had with "Twisted Love" was the lack of depth in the characters. Alex’s brooding, alpha-male persona felt overdone, and his transformation throughout the book seemed unconvincing. Similarly, Ava’s character, though endearing at times, often came across as too naïve, making it difficult to fully connect with her.
The plot had potential, but it was marred by predictable twists and an overreliance on clichéd romance tropes. The pacing was uneven, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. Additionally, the dialogue often felt stilted and unrealistic, which detracted from the emotional impact of the story.
Despite these drawbacks, "Twisted Love" does have its moments. The chemistry between Alex and Ava is palpable, and there are a few scenes that genuinely tug at the heartstrings. However, these moments were not enough to elevate the overall experience of the book.
In conclusion, "Twisted Love" was a disappointing read for me. While it has its share of passionate and intense moments, the lack of character development and reliance on overused tropes made it difficult to fully enjoy. Fans of dark romance might find some enjoyment in it, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me.
