Twisted Lies: 4

Product Information

Christian writing letters is something I loved. That was something unexpected from him. It also shows how someone can change when it comes to someone who is important to you. I’m so upset that I didn’t love it because they were my babies. They still are but not my favourite lol. mystery/suspense element - this was probably my least favourite part and hence why i took away 1 star, but the stalker reveal was super anticlimactic for me, i know how scared stella is of her stalker but some evil part of me wanted it to be christian (which he kind of was? but he gave up after a year??? where is the stamina mr harper not a good stalker are you?). I also love how at the end they actually talked about not getting married yet because they want to work on building their careers and even tho they seem like the most immature couple that makes them the most mature couple. Putting their careers first especially when they’ve worked so hard to get to where they are. And their careers are a little more difficult and time consuming than others.

I already said in my previous review of this book series that I’m already liking Christian Harper but this book made me say I loved him. Christian Harper is a handsome billionaire. He reduced Stella’s rent and in return, he asked her to take care of his plants. He is in love with her but he is in denial. I tried to keep my expectations reasonable with this one. And I think that was for the best. The first part of this book had me hooked. There is something magnetic about Stella and Christian. I couldn’t put the book down. Mostly because Alex's appearances in the other books improved on his character immensely. Funny enough, I don't even remember him in his own book.) It pains me, because enemies to lovers is my most fav trope, and Ana had a good momentum brewing with them at the beginning of their story. The scene at the bar? Chefs' kiss. But that momentum came crashing down because Ana Huang didn't know how to keep building it up. The chemistry evaporated into thin air.)Sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame, Stella Alonso is a romantic who keeps her heart in a cage. Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship. I loved Alex and Ava’s relationship. It was so fun to see Alex slowly fall in love with Ava throughout the book. The groveling was the perfect amount. Everything was just 🤌 chef’s kiss. May have been the shortest book in the series, but it was a good one.

But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there’s more than meets the eye to the man she’s hated for so long. Christian on the other hand is, well… the devil as he calls it. Wouldn’t be much far off I guess. I mean there’s nothing wrong with a morally grey devil who stabbed the hand of the man who groped stella, spilled alcohol on it, then killed him… right 🤗? Ugh the amount of things this man does for stella as if its the most normal thing in the world is entertaining.But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms and house of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time. Because despite Christian’s cold nature, he makes her feel everything when she’s with him. Passionate. Protected. Truly wanted. Now that I’ve completed the twisted series, I know that I will not be reading any more books written by this author. I simply don’t enjoy the way the characters are written, the plots, or writing itself. This one was alright. Alex was meh. Also their TRAUMA? Jeez these characters went through a lot 😭. It was one of the better ones in the series tho Twisted Love is my next favourite book. I personally feel that Alex was sometimes a bit too pushy. However, I love how all the couples in each book are different. Alex and Ava's story is complicated and was hard to follow at first. But the ending of the book was possibly the best ending of the series.

Somehow, four strangers who had been randomly assigned to the same dorm room their freshman year of college had evolved into what we were now—a beautifully messy, perfectly imperfect family that’d gone through our share of ups and downs but made it through to the other side. Natalia was my sister by blood, but Ava, Bridget, and Jules would always be my sisters by choice.” my friends know the theory i had for christianstella. i may have said that christian lowered stella's rent in exchange for her to be his sex slave, but alas i was proven wrong in the best way possible. christian took one look at stella and decided to rent her a penthouse basically for free?????&&?&? AFTER ONE LOOK yeah lmao my man down bad 😭🙏 Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies...and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything.Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship. But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms – and house – of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time. it’s actually 4.5 stars due to third act breakup that I dislike with every cell in my body, but that epilogue itself deserves five freaking stars. The series is wrapped up very nicely in the book. Starting with Ava and Alex, then Bridget and Rhys, Josh and Jules, and finally Stella and Christian. The epilogue was good.

The ebook is available on all major retailers in the UK and Commonwealth (minus Canada) and in Kindle Unlimited everywhere else. omg where do i begin? i was totally convinced that twisted games was going to be my favourite in the series but this book is in a different level all thanks to my babygirl stella. don’t get me wrong i loved christian too but stella is just incredible 🥹

Now to discuss Christian. Christian had a bit more personality, but it just wasn’t good. The amount of times he claims Stella to be “his” was almost as often as Stella blushed. Christian was grumpy and broody— but he wasn’t necessarily icy. Which I actually didnt mind. But in the end— Christian can be summed up to a few words as well; obsessive, sarcastic, possessive, rich, dominant. This book warned me in the beginning that he would be a dominant, alpha hero, so really, its my own fault. But my dislike for this book goes much deeper than the actual tropes itself, its the way it all is written. Poor christian, mans soul was shattered for a while there :( But it was fun watching Rhys, Josh and Alex making fun of him 👍
