SYNOPSIS

He hates her...almost as much as he wants her. Gorgeous, cocky, and fast on his way to becoming a hotshot doctor, Josh Chen has never met a woman he couldn't charm—except for Jules f**king Ambrose. The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has. When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that'll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules. No jealousy. No strings attached. And absolutely no falling in love. Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who's focused on one thing: passing the attorney's bar exam. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a doctor who puts the SUFFER in insufferable…no matter how good-looking he is. But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there's more than meets the eye to the man she's hated for so long. Her best friend's brother. Her nemesis. And her only salvation. Theirs is a match made in hell, and when the demons from their past catch up with them, they're faced with truths that could either save them …or destroy everything they've worked for.

MY REVIEW

Firstly I want to thank the author Ana Huang and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for providing me with an e-ARC for Twisted Hate in exchange for an honest review. 

Ana Huang woke up one day and decided to add all my favourite tropes in a book and make it exactly like something I've been craving to read for the past few months. I literally stayed up till 6 am to finish this book in one go because I literally could not put it down after I started it.

Josh Chen just made himself a place on my top boyfriends, right along with Aaron Blackford and Adam Carlsen. The possessiveness, protectiveness and jealousy are my kryptonite, especially if he's a big grump and oh, did Ana Huang hit me right in the heart with this book. 

Let's get to some book details before this whole review just becomes me fangirling and worshipping Josh and Jules. Twisted Hate is the third book in the Twisted series. From the first book in the series, we've been getting Josh and Jules build-up,  and now in Twisted Hate, we get to read their story. 

Jules is one of the strongest female characters I have read about. We get a lot of information about Jules' past and how it affects her even in the present. Despite her past, she handles herself with so much confidence even when she's shaken up or scared. On the other hand, with Josh, we know his past and his demons from the first book, and in Twisted Hate, he's battling and moving past those demons, which for no reason should have made me proud, but it did. 

My beautiful characters aside (Yes, I had laid a claim on Josh and Jules before my best friend could), The plot of this book was just bloody amazing. A month ago, I didn't even know I was receiving this ARC, and I was describing a book I want to my best friend, and I kid you not, this book matched perfectly with everything I told her. I literally manifested this book in my life. This review is spoiler-free, so I'm not going to get into detail, but let me just tell you the enemies-with-benefits and the caring side of both of them (Some scenes where Josh takes care of Jules made me want to scream, but it was 3 am and I couldn't) seeing it together blew my mind. 

I feel like I can rant about this book forever, but I won't, so I'm stopping after this. We get some plot (or a mystery more like) for Twisted Lies (The 4th Book about Stella) in this book. It's not a cliffhanger or anything, but a curious kitten like me wants Twisted Lies as soon as I can. If Ana Huang ever reads this, then please, I'll offer you anything; give me Twisted Lies early.

This book isn't even out yet, and I've already convinced 4 people of reading it. The purpose of this post was for me to worship Jules and Josh and convince you guys to read this book.

PLAYLIST

Here's the playlist to this book which, in my opinion, is just wow. I listened to it while reading, and I swear it literally made some of the scenes so much better. I made a playlist with all the songs Ana mentioned in her posts, but I also added some of my own. I'm linking the playlist here so you can check it out.
