Book Review:
Ana Huang brings her wildly popular Twisted series to a thrilling and satisfying close with ''Twisted Lies.'' This book takes a slightly different turn by infusing the romance with a dose of suspense and mystery. The story pairs the enigmatic, brooding Christian Harper—a man with a shadowy past and immense power—with Stella Alonso, the group's sunshine-hearted social media star. Their arrangement is purely transactional at first: a fake marriage to solve their respective problems. However, the forced proximity and simmering tension quickly blur the lines of their contract.

Huang excels at creating chemistry between opposites. Christian's cold, controlled demeanor perfectly contrasts with Stella's warmth and authenticity, making their interactions crackle with energy. The mystery surrounding Christian's work and the threats that emerge add an engaging layer of plot beyond the central romance. While the steam and emotional depth fans expect are present in full force, the added suspense keeps the pages turning. ''Twisted Lies'' successfully wraps up the series arcs while delivering a standalone love story filled with passion, protectiveness, and the healing power of love. It's a must-read for series fans and a great pick for anyone who enjoys romances with a mysterious, possessive hero and a marriage-of-convenience plot.
