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.

In my opinion, this is the best twisted book and was a great way to wrap up the series. The book had funny moments (Josh's jealousy towards Alex playing chess with Christian) to more serious moments like Stella's stalker and her family. The best character in the book and in the series overall, I have to give it to Mr. Unicorn.

Firrst off I am biased because I don't love Ana Huang's writing, but they always seem to hook me just like Twisted Lies. This book is chessy and unrealistic. There were many parts of the plot that didn't add up to me and those unrealistoc parts dampned the book for me. 

Out of the whole series I would say this book is 3rd and the 1st book is last. To be fair even in the book Ana Huang states that it is cheesy so I don't really fault her. I just didn't particularly get entranced by this book because of that, but her writing intruged me enough to rread thhe whole series so.
