Three. Random. Words.
Stop. This. Writing.

This is the last novel in the Twisted series and surprisingly, I found this one to be the most enjoyable. Christian's character is absolutely cliché and over the top to a sometimes cringe-worthy extent, but Stella is by far the most relateable and loveable character of this whole series. At times, I was actually rooting for them.

The universe these characters find themselves in is cliché and especially the male main characters are hardly distinguishable from one another. Tall, broody, edgy, dark past, chiseled jawline, does not believe in love. The conflicts are mostly very construed and could easily be solved if people in this universe talked to each other like normal adults.

However, I want to give credit to Ana Huang, because she clearly developed her writing style from Twisted Love. The storylines are not as all kover the place as they used to be, albeit they're still predictable to a great extent. There's still a lot of room for improvement, but she has come a long way.

2.75*/5, rounded up to 3*.

PS: please stop with the three. word. sentences. And if I read either "languid" or languorous" one more time, I might spontaneously combust.
