Beyond the castle gates, the sun rises and the birds sing, but the Golden Palace is draped in a veil of night. My night. My darkness. My power.
After Abriella's sister was sold to the fae, she thought life couldn't get any worse. But when she suddenly finds herself entangled in a dangerous web of her own making—loving two fae princes and trusting neither—things are not quite as clear as she once thought.
As civil war wages in the Unseelie Court, Brie struggles to choose a side. How can she know where she stands when she barely knows herself anymore? With each path pointing to even more heartache, Brie must find the inner strength to forge her own way forward.
In this darkly romantic thrill ride, the more Faerie is torn apart from the inside, the clearer it becomes that prophecies don't lie and that Brie has a role to play in the fate of this magical realm—whether she likes it or not.

3.5 stars - rating based on enjoyment
I enjoyed this one less than the first book in this duology, mostly because Brie gave whiplash during this one. Her feelings regarding Sebastian and her inner monologue about herself were mostly annoying and contradictory, throughout the story.
Finn and Misha were my favorite characters in this one. There were some interesting elements regarding the bond between Fae that I enjoyed. The world opened up significantly in this one. It was heavily Acotar and Throne of Glass inspired.
Entertaining and enjoyable, but it had its flaws and left some character arcs behind.
I. Am. Reeling. Lexi freaking Ryan! This was such an amazing conclusion to this duology. I couldn't stop reading, and the pacing was perfect. These Twisted bonds picks up right where These Hollow Vows left off, and the story continues to follow our female main character, Abriella. After the betrayal she is feeling after the events of book 1, she finds it extremely difficult to trust anyone. The love triangle between Sebastian and Finn continues in this book, and in my opinion, is much more prevalent than in These Hollow Vows. I find in love triangles, we always root for one character over the other. I found the plot of this book hard to predict, which I loved, and it only made me devour the book to seek resolution. This book is classified as young adult, but y'all... she is a steamy YA. There is lots of sexual tension- which we love- and the pay off was perfect for the tone of the series. This book ticks so many boxes for me: intriguing plot, twists and unexpected turns, one horse trope, and bits of forced proximity. This book is YA fantasy, 16+ for sexual content
