Ok Christian and Stella swoop straight into my second favourite couple in the series! 

I really enjoyed Stella and Christian's characters evolve throughout the story. Their development felt authentic and captivating. Ana beautifully wrapped up the entire series, tying up all the loose ends while leaving a lasting impression
and keeping it so happy!

This book is a slow burn. But it is sooo good. I fell in love with the characters. This book had it's ups and downs and at times it got very hard to read. But in all I loved this book.

Ana Huang loooves a 2010s CW plot twist reveal and villain monologue. She also looooves trying to make the novel a dark romance by adding elements that were not necessary at all to the plot… like just embrace your love for a romcom!

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.

Christian and Stella’s relationship was one of many twists and turns! Christian had his morally grey complexities that Stella saw as only a portion of his character. Stella, while a tad naive, always hoped for the best for everyone, but was always a tad weary of herself till she met Christian. These two have tension that builds into something that’s worth fighting for. I was hoping for a little more spice than was given, but the book was well written!

What is in these? I inhaled this series. But this one was my favourite. The mystery dynamic maybe? Not sure exactly why but that’s what I’m going with. 

Stella is being stalked and Christian is working to protect her. I love a good protector storyline.

HE'S THE TYPE OF MEN I'M LOOKING FOR, I'm so in love with both of them.
"I would never fall in love with someone" And he meets Stella.
"I would never have kids" And he's the happiest men when Stella tells him that she's prego. For me, the best novel out of the four. Amazing job, Ana Huang.
 
Although I feel more related to Jules and Josh, (which I think I gave 4.75 stars), I really like more this Novel, and I feel like the plot twists and how the characters evolved really did something right for this book. It's not for everyone, tho, you might not enjoy it as much as I did.
