 Discover the addictive world of the Twisted Series...

ALEX VOLKOV is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can't escape.

Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for the matters of the heart. 

But when he's forced to look after his best friend's sister, he starts to feel something in his chest: A crack. A melt. A fire that could end his world as he knew it.

AVA CHEN is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can't remember. 

But despite her broken past, she's never stopped seeing the beauty in the world... including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn't want. 

Her brother's best friend. Her neighbour. Her saviour and her downfall.

Theirs a love that was never supposed to happen - but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both... and everything they hold dear.

This was my first time reading a book from Ana Huang and all I can say is that her writing style is so addictive. She really had me drawn into this book. My head was clouded with Alex for so long.

Rating :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars 

THIS WAS ALL OVER BOOKTOK. All I can say is I am NOT disappointed. This is a booktok series that is 100% worth the read.

Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but I would always recommend reading the series.

Alex Volkov is truly an unpredictable character. He gives me mafia boss vibes, but he isn't. He is a business man raking in billions with a B and has a lot and I mean A LOT of business connections. 

"I'd never seen him like that. Pissed, yes. Annoyed, definitely. BUT NOT LIKE THAT. Like he wanted to burn the world down at seeing me hurt."

He truly did show his love for Ava even after betraying her. This is when Alex Volkov raised our standards in men. 

If this man wasn't godly enough. He travelled to see Ava and gave up his job for her even though he was already set for life financially he still gave up his life back home to travel to London. 

Ava is this bubbly character that I absolutely fell in love with straight from the beginning, however Alex held no emotion. I didn't like him too much in the beginning but seeing emotion slowly come into his character made him much more desirable. 

I thought her friendship group were perfect. Who has a princess, social media influence, lawyer all in one friendship group. Seems like a dream. 

Plot wise, this stuck very much to the plot. They were complete opposites but it was amazing to see polar opposites get together. Some of the thoughts in Alex's head had me putting down the book. 

"And your pussy is mine. Every inch of you belongs to me, and if you ever let another man touch you- he'll end up in pieces, and you'll end up tied to my bed and fucked in every hole until my name is the only one you remember. Do you understand?"

The spice scenes were something else. 

I was obsessed by the end of this book. Dropped it so quick to pick up Twisted Games.

TW's: parental deaths/ violence/ child abuse.
