Today, we're kicking off a journey into one of the most talked-about romance series out there: Ana Huang's
Twisted series. And what better place to start than with the book that ignited it all – "Twisted Love", the first thrilling installment!
If you've been on BookTok or just love a good dark romance, chances are you've heard whispers about Alex Volkov. Well, I finally picked up his story, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride.
What's "Twisted Love" All About?
"Twisted Love" introduces us to the enigmatic, ridiculously wealthy, and undeniably dangerous Alex Volkov. He's the kind of guy who could freeze you with a glare and melt you with a touch. His world is all about control, power, and secrets.
Then there's Ava Chen – sweet, vibrant, and a ray of sunshine, despite her own hidden past. She's the best friend's sister, and when her brother goes away, Alex is tasked with protecting her. What starts as a reluctant, almost hostile arrangement quickly morphs into an undeniable, scorching hot attraction that threatens to burn them both.
My Thoughts: The Good, The Broody, and The Burning
The Chemistry? 🔥🔥🔥 Okay, let's just get this out of the way: the chemistry between Alex and Ava is off the charts. Ana Huang knows how to write tension, and every interaction between them crackles. Their push and pull is addictive, and you'll be rooting for Ava to break through Alex's fortress of ice.
The Alpha Hero (with a capital A!) Alex Volkov is the ultimate brooding alpha. He's possessive, protective to an extreme, and scarred by a traumatic past that makes him the way he is. If you love a hero who's a little bit dangerous but secretly gooey for his heroine, Alex is your guy. His journey to softening (just a little!) is compelling.
More Than Just Romance While the romance is definitely the main course, "Twisted Love" isn't just about the steamy scenes. There's a decent dose of suspense and mystery woven into the plot, particularly concerning Alex's shadowy past and the threats that follow him. This adds a nice layer of intrigue and keeps you turning pages to uncover the secrets.
The Sunshine & Grumpy Trope Perfection Ava and Alex embody the "sunshine x grumpy" trope beautifully. Ava's resilience and kindness are the perfect counterpoint to Alex's darkness, creating a dynamic that's both challenging and incredibly rewarding to read.

Final Verdict

5 stars!!!!! This was a re-read for me i started this series in 2024 but never got all the way through it so I’ve decided I’m going to read the whole thing from start to finish.
