Twisted Hate

rating - 4/5 “Because you're mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you'll find out just how easily I can take a man's life as I can save one.”

sigh fictional men T_T
I went into this book because i have a shelf named ‘finish these series asap' and this has been on it for over a year. I did not expect to like it, simply because I wasn't really a fan of the first two; they had a few great moments but I wasn't obsessed to say the least.
here's my reviews of the others:

Twisted love : 3/5
Twisted games: 3.5/5
Twisted Hate: 4/5

clearly the books keep getting better or I'm just getting used to the writing-. Overall, they all still have the ‘Ana Huang formula'(which i will breakdown in painstaking detail), :
➙ One protagonist haunted by their past hiding it from everybody (this becomes the basis of the third act argument)
➙ The other protagonist also having problems; however these are only to make them interesting therefore they can't be AS serious as protagonist 1.
➙ Add in sex scenes with the mmc being all dominant and sprinkle some degradation kink.
➙ Hideous third act argument (in this case especially; i wanted to strangle josh)
➙ groveling and then we have the happily ever after

I'm not saying it's bad or isn't working (because clearly, i rated this book a 4 stars) ; it's just it's very similar to the other books in the series. However, I WAS more fond of Jules and Josh, simply because their story felt a lot more normal. no princesses, bodyguards or billionaires i guess bahah. I also liked that there wasn't a wedding or babies, and the epilogues were just cute moments, a few months into the future because that's what their characters felt like.

Overall, fun, fast paced and likeable characters with lots of chemistry (that! stays! even! after! they! get! together!)
So, don't stop after twisted games (like i did) because i promise it gets better:) super excited to read Stella's book.
