Als der beste Freund ihres Bruders in ihr Nachbarhaus zieht, ändert sich Ava Chens Leben von Grund auf. Alex Volkov sieht aus wie die Sünde und ist kalt wie Eis. Aber Ava schafft es, seine Mauern Stein um Stein einzureißen, und je besser sie den Multimillionär kennenlernt, desto weniger kann sie sich seiner Anziehungskraft entziehen. Schon bald kann auch Alex die ungewohnten Gefühle nicht länger leugnen. Doch er hat eine dunkle Vergangenheit, der er nicht entfliehen kann und die eine Liebe zwischen ihnen unmöglich macht ...

Auftakt der prickelnden und romantischen TWISTED-Reihe von Bestseller-Autorin Ana Huang

Twisted Dreams

He has a heart of ice . . . but for her, he'd burn the world.

Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can't escape.

Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart.

But when he's forced to look after his best friend's sister, he starts to feel something in his chest:
A crack.
A melt.
A fire that could end his world as he knew it.

***

Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can't remember.

But despite her broken past, she's never stopped seeing the beauty in the world . . . including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn't want.

Her brother's best friend.
Her neighbour.
Her saviour and her downfall.

Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen - but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both . . . and everything they hold dear.

Twisted: Book 1

Twisted Love

Nikki Baas

You told me once there was something beautiful waiting for me, something that'll restore my faith in life. I've found it. It's you.

Youre enemies are my enemies, your friends are my friends, and if you wanted, I would burn down the world for you.

When I think about a world where she doesn't exist... I want to bur every inch of it to the ground.

I’d rather be the villain with her by my side than the hero who risked losing her because of a misguided sense of morality

That's my girl. Hate me. Don't cry over me. Neyer cry over me. I'm not worth it.

I never claimed to be Prince Charming, and my love isn't a fairy tale type of love. I'm a fucked up person with fucked up morals. I won't write you poems or serenade you beneath the moonlight. But you are the onl woman I have eyes for. Your enemies are enemies, your friends are my friends, and if you wanted, I would burn down the world for you.

"Tell me who or what I need to kill," I growled. "What happened at your father's house?"

"I told you, nothing. It was just the lake."

Ava eked out a wobbly smile. "You can't kill a lake."

"I'll drain every fucking lake and ocean in world if I have to."

I'd do anything for you. No matter how twisted or impossible.

You think u know someone until something happens that proves you never really knew them at all.

*You broke my nose!" he spat. “You asked for it, you slut."

What condition?" Alex sounded bored. "Stickuptheassitis." I'd already called the man an asshole

Or I could be tied to a chair in a dark basement and forced to listen to Aqua's "Barbie Girl" on repeat until Id rather gnaw off my arm than hear the song's eponymous phrase again.

'’Love.” The word floated between us on a soft gust of air. “Deep, abiding, unconditional love. You want it so much you’re willing to live for it.” Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed. '

Avevo vissuto con i miei incubi per quasi tutta la vita e avevo trovato comunque il coraggio di sognare.

Prima di conoscerla non pensavo di avere un cuore, invece lei mi aveva dimostrato il contrario... ora, però, quel cuore giaceva a pezzi ai suoi piedi.

Avevo la sensazione che non avrebbe battuto ciglio neanche se degli alieni in tutù argentato gli si fossero materializzati davanti e avessero iniziato a ballare la macarena.

«Tu sei la luce per la mia oscurità, Raggio di sole» 

Le fiamme sciolsero i laghi gelati dei suoi occhi finché il calore non consumò anche me.

 "Don't make a sound," he warned. "This is an important call." 

Todooo que veer, me encanto la historia y los personajees, pero sinceramente el Alex si metio la pata bieen feoo, pero no es su culpaaa, en fin, mi bebé no es un chico malo, solo quiere ser él mismo, ojala le hubiera rogado más a Avaa, fuera de eso me ame el librooo 😭

Love love loved this book I have been in a really bad reading slump for over a year. But I finished this book faster than any book I’ve ever read. Lots of smut in this book which I wasn’t expecting but there love is truly pure and so beautiful I’m so exited to read the rest of the series.

I liked it, it was entertaining. although it took me a bit to get into it, and then I got to the 62% of it, and I really got into it, i love the drama and betrayal thing it got going on,  very soap opera-ly.

overall,  I liked Ava more than Alex, like I'm not fully sold by him regarding the romance. 

As individual characters, both were interesting, and I particularly love the whole arc of Ava's rebuilding herself after all.

4.25 🌟 actually 

so...

Es un “nnah”, es básico, mucho spicy innecesario y personajes cliches. Es un libro para pasar el rato. Literal sentí que estaba leyendo un fanfic de Batman.

Twisted Love (Special Edition)

it was kind of a wattpad type of book but better… it earned lots of giggles and screams from me— not internal screams btw I literally SCREAMED at many parts. I genuinely enjoyed it, and this was also the first book I finished ever since I graduated from uni hahaha confident to say, I think this is my reading era come back! 

I listened to this as an audiobook for my recent trip- first time trying audiobook and I didn’t really like it. Nonetheless I finished the audiobook and the story was alright but probably would have had more of an impact on me if I had read it instead of listened.

Who pulls an 8 year con to revenge his family and then it’s not even the right guy. Also he should have gone after her sooner so she didn’t have to suffer so long if he knew he was going to try and get her back. Dumb

If you can bypass toxic couples and toxic men then you might be able to enjoy this book. Alex was incredibly toxic and just gave me the ick consonantly. Ava was an enjoyable character and I admired that she was able to fight back and that Alex didn't fight all of her battles for her. 

Overall this book is full of toxicity within relationships and families. The family story lines were interesting and is what mainly kept me reading.

Silly and fanfic-esque, but some reveals did shock me and I listened to the whole thing soooo. Maybe I’m the problem.

I really liked it! I must admit that there are some spicy scenes but overal the story was really great and I loved the vibes that the main characters gave me.
