Review: Twisted Lies by Ana Huang

He'll do anything to have her...including lie.

Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman.

He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can’t deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him.

She’s the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can’t solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can’t refuse.

Every monster has their weakness. She’s his.

His obsession.

His addiction.

His only exception.

**

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.

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.

Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies…and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything.

Twisted Hate is the fourth and final book of the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

Review

I’ll admit I haven’t read the first three books in the Twisted series; however, tiktok can’t say enough about them. And when I say snippets of a singular Christian and Stella interaction in one of the books posted everywhere I instantly knew that I had to read this story.

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.

Stella is a literally ball of sunshine who is a social media influencer. In order to build her brand, she decides that she needs a fake boyfriend. Enter Christian—the owner of the apartment building and rich businessman.  Christian is dark, and quiet who basically only likes one person. And that’s her. He becomes boy obsessed so quick and it’s so fantastic to read about. Like he would literally do anything for her.

It was a great idea to put these two characters together. Because a smile rarely left my face, and they were perfect together. I really liked the fake dating social media thing they had going. And I wish the author would have shown more moments of them acting out that part. However, I’m still satisfied with what was given in that aspect.

Okay, so I knew this was going to be a somewhat dark read. The stalker storyline had been revealed prior. The biggest issues I had with the book were the climax and the big reveals. They felt like a major let down and I was expecting something different.

Final Analysis

Twisted Lies has amazing romantic leads that steal the show and still thrive once the plot gets anticlimactic at the end.
