I thought I was going to like this one more, but I lost interest here and there. It was all leading up to the stalker situation and the fake dating was hardly believable (lasted two seconds). It felt like personality wise they were both a little lacking as well. But I wanted to finish the set of books and it was still good enough I finished it.

I loved this so much. I was initially intimidated going into it because I heard that others find it slow or boring but for me it was the perfect pace for the characters. I loved Christian harper!!!!! when i tell you that man is OBSESSED with his girl, very much a swoon-worthy read.

This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.

The Twisted series really hasn’t missed! I enjoyed this one a lot and found Stella’s anxiety pretty relatable. This book made me wanna date a billionaire SO BAD (if you’re my bf reading this then just ignore that last sentence 😉). I thought this book had great plot and sub-plots. This definitely wasn’t my favorite book of the series but I really loved Stella, and Christian was a perfect example of morally gray!

Probably my least favourite of the 4 books in the Twisted series. A) Why does everyone end up engaged/married/pregnant? It doesn’t add anything to the story. B)There is no spice until you reach 60% of the way through C) Stella’s stalker could have been given a perspective and it would have improved the book.
