I think that this was a good end to the series! While it wasn't my favorite in this series (*cough**cough* Twisted Games) I loved seeing these two characters grow. Cannot wait to read the Kings of Sin series soon!

This book was the longest one in the series, which obviously leaves so much to talk about in this review. I'll start off by saying this: I absolutely adored this book. I walked into it with absolutely no spoilers about the content which made it all the more impactful.
Not many books have made me cry, but this one got me - not as hard as Twisted Games, but it still brought some tears to my eyes.
Stella and Christain are both... Interesting, to put it simply.The whole ending sequence with Stella finding out about Christian's obsession and lowkey finding out that he murders people in his free time was... Something. I didn't mind it much, but it bothered me a bit that Stella just... Accepted it because she loved Christian. Considering that the book spent a lot of time establishing the depth of Stella's morals, it was kind of sad to see her just accept something like that (though I can't argue for the sake of the happy ending and the warning that this was the darker of books Huang has written).
Onto my opinions about Christian. I liked Christian for what he was. I'm not super into dark romance (maybe I just haven't found the right book), but I think for him being darker than the other male leads, it made sense. He was really only 'dark' in the sense of murdering people and torturing them, but other than that it wasn't super dark. Yes, he did illegal things. But don't most rich men in romance books? It was really cool to see Christian inside of his own book rather than within the context of the others as it really lets you see his character shine through. He's a huge softie at heart, as much as he tries to deny it. Christian and Josh are very similar in the kink department, except Christian is Josh on steroids. Nothing was sensual about the sex scenes in this book, and I was very much digging that. I liked how it was able to represent another side of intimacy while making it a space where it wasn't weird or out-of-the-ordinary. If super BDSM stuff isn't for you, then I'd say skip over the intimacy.
The pacing of this one was a lot faster than the other books. The added pages helps to tie everything together while also giving readers new content about the rest of the Twisted couples. It's very BDSM, so be warned. I think it was a satisfying conclusion to the series and left no questions to be answered with everybody getting their happy ending.
TLDR; This is my second favorite book out of the series. The relationship dynamic between Stella and Christian was refreshing and was enjoyable to follow. It plucked my heartstrings a few times- through tears and laugher.
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5

I enjoyed the Twisted series overall. The wasn’t my favorite but I really enjoyed Stella and Christian and sometimes you need a quick, addicting, toxic romance to get you through the day. This did just that. I still think the authors books are a bit long but the slow burn, and tension that builds up in the first like 50% usually makes it worth it.

Ok these books are I think objectively not good?? Not trying to be a snob but the writing, the inconsistencies, I even seen some grammar mistakes which I have never before. The plots are outlandish and the MMCs are unbelievable the FMCS frankly boring and the stakes are unnecessarily high and don’t make sense. Not to mention these are like the same book four times. Morally gray MMC (maybe a billionaire) who CANT date FMC for whatever reason but omg they are obsessed (to a concerning degree) and can’t help it and have to f them senseless (seriously can’t any of them enjoy like… gentle… they always pounding them to a new galaxy or something).
BUT I read them. And quickly. They are addicting!!! I don’t know why!!! Very easy to read if you get past being frustrated by the inconsistencies and just total lunacy that is the plot. Somehow I was able to.
Do I think this book is good? No.
Do I like it? I don’t think so.
Did I enjoy myself??? I don’t even know if that is a yes!!
Am I just really into smut? Absolutely not.
WHY DID I READ THESE brb I gotta talk to my therapist about this

🌶️ erotic romance.

— slow-paced, dual pov

“despite what i said about love being a drug, stella was my greatest high. an temptation with no escape. an obsession with no end. an addiction with no cure.”
it took me a couple of days to finish this because i was reading multiple books at the same time, but i loved the story so much. it follows stella, a sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame. she is also a hopeless romantic who keeps her heart in a cage. but when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and house—of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, christian, she’s tempted to let herself feel sonething for the first time in a long time.
first of all, if i am going to rank the whole twisted series, this will be on the second spot. the plot is amazing and it was perfectly written. for me, this book has the darkest concept in the whole series. the stalking trope also made the story more thrilling and interesting. i liked how ana huang built the characters and their personalities, especially the mmc. plus, the sexual tension between the main leads is phenomenal! one more thing i like about this book was the fact that ana huang made sure that the other characters in the previous books will be featured in the story.
if you’re into erotic, drama romance, with spice and a little bit of dark concept, i would highly recommend for you to read the whole twisted series.

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.
