4.75

At the beginning I had a little trouble, getting into the book. But once I did I devoured every page. I usually don’t like romance books. But Ana Huang, has the ability to make a romance book interesting and not basic.

I think this book was by far the best in the series it had a stronger more intriguing plot. There was more depth and detail to it.

- We all love a bit of a bad boy, don’t we? 
- Yeah, but not a fucking murderer, though, Chris. 

I’m sorry but Christian Harper is a fucking psychopath and nothing about that turns me on. What the hell, Ana?

I think the term "morally grey" STRONGLY undermines Christian... this man is literally a criminal??! Just look at the content warnings :/

Didn't love this one, I would say that Twisted Hate is the best one in the series because I can actually root for the male characters (you know, since he's not a murderer or anything). Every book is essentially the same, I read all of them to clarify this (and because I have no regard for myself clearly).
