Alex Volkov is a bitter man with a dark past, and never wanted to look after his best friend's sister, Ava Chen. But every day he spends with her, his heart lightens just a little bit.

Let me just start by saying this book killed me in ways I never anticipated. I went into Twisted Love with the expectation that it would be overhyped and written like a bad wattpad mafia fanfiction. Now after reading the story, I can say Ana Huang is my new favorite author!

Alex did have some possessive behavior, but for a new adult romance novel I found it pretty fitting for his character. Ava was a stubborn ball of sunshine and I loved her right at the start for it. The way she loved Alex and her friends was a wonderful display of her personality and values.

I did find Ava's friend Jules to be a bit annoying at times, but I'm hoping to like her better when I read Twisted Hate. I liked Bridget and Stella. I'm hoping to get to the rest of this series soon!
