i dont know how but she serves every time and i was literally holding my breath in anticipation every scene i thought would be the one with aaron confessing his feelings
aaron >>> (i think if i read about one more perfect aaron im going to be naming my son that)
im going to die alone because mariana zapata’s men are fucking unreal
the only thing bothering me is that i wish that at least once the girl would be the one admitting her love first
also i really need an extra bonus scene when santos siblings find out what h*nter or whatever his name was did, and go beat him up together with aaron

Twisted Hate by Ana Huang
remember when i said i forgive you? I lied
OMFG this chapter had me screaming, so good
i've been waiting for them ever since they were first mentioned in twisted love and i was scared of being disappointed, but it was so worth the eight-month-long wait
really don't have anything to say other than that i'm rather impatiently waiting for twisted lies, and i'm happy i was right about Christian being Stella's love interest back when twisted games was released

i've been waiting for this book since july, and was so excited, yet i feel like it had so, so much more potential. it could have had much more angst and plot, and this could be such a great romance book and yet.. I don't know I was so upset when i finally opened it and looked at the page count. they fell in love with each other AND admitted it in the matter of days, not even weeks. and those are supposed to be characters who are very careful about to whom they open up to..
