Twisted: Book 1

Twisted Love

Elisa Ulliana

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." 

Charlote

“ That’s my girl. Hate me. Don’t cry over me. Never cry over me. I’m not worth it."

Sarah sou

“She was mine…she just didn’t know it yet”

Leonie

 Most people thought the biggest sacrifce they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifce 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. You want it so much you'd say yes to anything. Believe in anyone. One more favor, one more kind gesture...and maybe, just maybe, they'll give you the love you want so desperately you'd whore yourself out for it." 

Cassie French

"If you let lesser people determine your self-worth, you'll never reach higher than their limited imagination." 

“Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice you 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 hardest truth that had ever existed”

But I welcomed the pain. Reveled in it. It was what I deserved.

You are the light to my dark. Without you, I’m lost.

Donits

That’s my girl. Hate me. Don’t cry over me. Never cry over me. I’m not worth it.

I’d labored over my revenge plan for more than a decade,

“I’d do anything for you. No matter how twisted or impossible.”

“I’ll drain every fucking lake and ocean in the world if I have to.”

“Tell me who or what I need to kill,”

She was mine. She just didn’t know it yet

Alex Volkov was a force of nature unto himself, and I imagined even the weather bowed to him.

Sufia imran

But you are the only woman l have eyes for. Your enemies are my enemies, your friends are my friends, and if you wanted, I would burn down the world for you

That was the one truth you spoke. I was too soft-hearted, and the world is not the place I thought it was. It's cruel and it's vicious, and there's no place for soft hearts 

I’d do anything for you, no matter how twisted or impossible 

Hanna Rybchynska

Honestly, I don't know what to think about this book... It started soft and fluffy, however halfway through everything changed drasticly. At some point I was reading mafia romance without understanding how I get here and what is actually happening!

The author tried to write about everything: brother's best friend (whitch was useless!), grumpy hero (I found it a little anoying) and the mafia part (whitch was too much for my taste).

Overall I think the characters aren't bad written, but the story is a little over the place.

This book was so gripping, the ending was a little bit rushed in my opinion which is why its lost a star. The tension between the main characters was insane and had me on the edge of my seat! i strongly recommend.

This was a cute little story but the one typo at the end really made me physically recoil. I thought it was really good up until the end when it just got to be a little too rushed for me. I’m really excited for the next book though.

mild spoiler, i hate when the last line was not even about them. like i don't care about your friends, this books supposed to be your ending

This book was a rollercoaster. I originally dnfed this book and had not plannes on continuing it until I heard and was encouraged by hearing that the rest of the book is better, but honestly they were right, the rest of the book was do much better and I honestly loved the last 30% , the reason that I didn't give it four stars was because I honestly didn't really like the smut, it felt like two much for me so I felt as if a 3 star was a good middle for this book but I am noe planning on continuing the series so I'm hoping that twisted games is better

you know what, is this perfect? no. literary masterpiece? absolutely not. vibes and silly little romance? yes. exactly what i needed? also yes. i think i read this at exactly the right time because i wanted a no thoughts romance and that's exactly what i got. however, there is a deeper layer to this that i loved and it was so interesting to see the relationships and character's connections unfold. this was good for me and i want to read the other ones asap.

I did not see the twist coming. I should've. Also I do not like how possessive Alex is. But that is the only thing I do not like about him.

 - "You're right, sweetheart," I said, dropping my forehead to hers with a resigned sigh. So. Fucked. "But the rules don't apply to vou."

- "Tell me who or what I need to kill,"
"I told you, nothing. It was just the lake. You can't kill a lake."
"I’ll drain every fucking lake and ocean in the world if I have to.”

- “You are the light to my dark. Without you, I'm lost.”

- "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. 

- “I can't do that, sweetheart. I'll wait however long it takes, but I'll never be okay with a world in which vou're alone.”

Alex is insufferable and the story is cheesy.

I put off reading this book because of how hyped up it is on tiktok but now I see why its so popular. This book had me SOBBING. But I'm so so glad it has a happy ending! Took me less than 24 hours to read because I just could not put it down. 100% reccomend. 

This book was very entertaining. The perfect amount of spice and plot 

Katie Roberts

Alex is my dads name so I couldn’t 5 star it because some of the times I see his name I would see my dad 😰

Gabriela Kondratyuk

This book was absolutely amazing and it took me on a whirlwind of emotions

Daisy Barker 

I surprisingly really ended up loving this book. I loved how Alex is softer with Ava to everyone else he's closed of. It reminds of the sunshine/grumpy vibe. So if you like that then your love this. 

There isn't too much shut either I found myself pleasantly enjoying this book and the characters.

My TikTok was flooded with other people who really enjoyed this book and I caved. Plot was more or less predictable, which is fine since I wasn't expecting a literary masterpiece. A chill break from reading the first 3 books of TOG. Kinda wish I just got an eBook of this instead of picking up a physical copy. LMFAO.
