PERSONAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK

The book is the first book in the Twisted series and man it does not disappoint. From the dominating looks of Alex to the teasing Ava everything fits perfectly in the spin story. The plot twists are shocking, and you cannot anticipate at any point as what is written in the next few lines.

Alex calling her “sunshine” is probably my favorite nickname after Lenochka (Tempted by Rina Kent). Alex going after her just to get her back the airport scene taht a reader anticipates and never comes and the longing in there eyes. You can read everything and imagine everything just by the words of it. That’s what a good write up is! Absolutely loving the series so far. They might not be my favorite couple in the series but they are for sure my favorite story so far in the series.

FAVOURITE LINES

  1. If you let lesser people determine your self-worth, you’ll never reach higher than their limited imagination.
  2. You’re the light to my dark, sunshine. Without you I’m lost.
  3. I would do anything for you. No matter how twisted or impossible.
  4. She felt like heaven to my hell, the closest I’d get to my salvation, and yet I still wanted to drag her into the depth of Hades with me.
  5. He has a heart of ice but he will burn the world for her.
  6. You’re everything I didn’t know I needed.
  7. You’re mine sunshine.
Twisted love for sure
