This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.

 “To everyone whose favorite color is morally gray.”
Give it up for Stella and Christian. The butterfly and her brooding protector.  I will say I have a soft spot for Ava and Alex, since they were the first in the series but I think this one was my favorite in the series. Christian was obsessed and protective, perfect book boyfriend material. I did think it was a bit long, but I understand the need to round out the series as well as possible, which was done well. Stella was the most relatable twisted girl to me, and therefore I felt the most connected to this story. Some of my favorite scenes were when all the couples reunited for parties and events. Some parts dragged a little in the first few hundred pages but the slow burn was slow burning. I cannot be mad at that. Overall, no matter how many romance books I read, my twisted babies will always have a place in my heart.... Christian and Stella for the win.

 “Careful, Stella.” His low warning pulsed between my legs. “I’m not the gentleman you think I am.”
… My reply fought it’s way past my dry throat.
“I don’t think you’re a gentleman at all.”
A slow, lazy smile tugged at his lips. “Smart girl.”

 “I will always be here if you need me, no matter how far in distance or time. I don’t care if we’re on different continents or if it’s five, fifty years in the future. I never want you to wake up and feel like you’re alone because you’re not. You’ll always have me.”

BEST TWISTED COUPLE I SAID WHAT I SAID

Stella kinda of annoyed me in the beginning but she needed to work through her problems and I loved her development. Christian definitely needed to be humanized and I’m happy with how it ended. Probably one of my favorites of the series.

The Twisted series really hasn’t missed! I enjoyed this one a lot and found Stella’s anxiety pretty relatable. This book made me wanna date a billionaire SO BAD (if you’re my bf reading this then just ignore that last sentence 😉). I thought this book had great plot and sub-plots. This definitely wasn’t my favorite book of the series but I really loved Stella, and Christian was a perfect example of morally gray!

3.0

Probably my least favourite of the 4 books in the Twisted series. A) Why does everyone end up engaged/married/pregnant? It doesn’t add anything to the story. B)There is no spice until you reach 60% of the way through C) Stella’s stalker could have been given a perspective and it would have improved the book.
