I can see why this gets so much hate. Alex is toxic, cruel, manipulative... let's face it, he's a walking red flag. Without spoiling for anyone that hasn't read, if I was Ava, I would have avoided Alex like the plague, the guy is a complete fucking dick.
That being said, I devoured this. It was seriously addictive! The spice also made me blush in Starbucks 🫠🤦‍♀️
I will read the rest of the series as I liked Ava's friends.

I feel like I‘ve been seeing this book everywhere recently, and so when I wanted a spicy romance I thought I‘d give it a go.
Conclusion: it‘s okay. It did not have that “can‘t put it down” factor for me, which I usually get with this genre! Spoilers in comments of plot things which bothered me.
I suspect that the rest of this series is better as Huang‘s writing improves.

Mrs_B Okay two things in the last few chapters: his stalking of Ana is CREEPY and SINISTER. The way he threatens that he can get away with anything is really not okay, and made me feel very sorry for her. I know that‘s supposed to be part of his bad boy vibe but too far IMO. And the way he sings at HER photograph launch, making it all about him is so not supportive AT ALL. Really bugged me. 4mo
Zuhkeeyah @Mrs_B The attention grab at her debut drove me nuts. I found the dynamic between the two of them very uneven. I heard the second book is better but haven't been interested in continuing the series. 4mo
Mrs_B @Zuhkeeyah so glad it‘s not just me! 4mo

4/5 🌟
Cute grumpy x sunshine romance, but also super spicy. I loved Ava and Alex together and how he helped her deal with trauma. Gets surprisingly dark halfway through. Fast paced and easy to read, the plot and twists were unpredictable and the ending was so fitting and had a nice HEA.

This one fell extremely flat for me. Too predictable and quite boring.

First book of the “Twisted” series. 4.5⭐️out of 5.
This was my first New Adult book, which is maybe why I liked the cheesiness and the clichés so much. Some people don‘t like the book, because they think the relationship is too toxic and unrealistic. Even though I get the point, I really think you have to differentiate between fact and fiction here. That is why I still think the book sets a great start for the whole series and is worth reading.

I really loved Ava's sassyness and her character growth. I have a bit mixed feelings about this book: Alex wanted to control and I don't like how that kind of toxic behaviour is romanticized.

I loved cute scenes!

I still had so much fun while reading this, I was entertained. I just really don't want anyone to end up in toxic relationship after this kind of romanticing. So like I said, I have really mixed feelings.

So I don't know how to feel about this book. It was kind of predictable. It is filled with cliché storyline. Revenge, broken friendship, dead parents, abusive partner, stalker etc. It wasn't terrible, but I was expecting more due to the hype. It was simply meh for me. Maybe I'll continue with the series. Maybe I won't. I'm not sure, but right now, I'm going to stay away from it for a bit.

Don‘t you love when you get sucked into a world and all you want to do is stay there? But reality tells you to come out and ruins everything lol.

Ava‘s brother‘s best friend, Alex, is assigned to look after her. Ava tries to get emotion out of Alex‘s icy demeanor, & she succeeds. They learn of each other‘s demons, will they get past them together?

This was kind of worth the hype. I liked the characters & their chemistry: cute, spicy, & funny. I enjoyed the plot, but the writing could‘ve been a little better. I will let you how the 2nd one goes.

Not for me! I don't like to be too critical....who am I to criticise an author... but this felt rushed, cliched and the relationships were unhealthy and toxic... just not my cuppa tea at all. Although apparently the rest of the Twisted series is better...?

grumpy x sunshine, some predictable moments, but excellent angst. miss ana knows what she's doing to keep readers hooked the entire time. ava and alex?? one of the best couples ever.

Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ romance read. Plenty of twists and turns. And spicy! Y‘all know I love my spicy romance reads. This was the perfect distraction while hanging out at the hospital. Hoping this ends soon and we can all go home.

A grumpy alpha/brother‘s best friend romance with a side of revenge and mystery. This book was so good. There‘s so much happening with Ava getting to know Alex as more than the serious businessman she‘s always thought her brother‘s friend to be and Alex, who has tried to turn off all emotions after losing his family growing to care about Ava. There‘s dark undercurrents throughout the book with understanding motivations and I couldn‘t put it down.
