Book: Twisted Love

Written By: Ana Huang

Reviewer: Alana Miller

Rating: 4/5

“Twisted Love” is the first book in Ana Huang’s Twisted series, and it immediately sets the tone for a dark, emotional, and addictive romance. The story follows Alex Volkov, a brooding, cold, and ruthless man who is driven by revenge, and Ava Chen, his sunshine-filled, sweet, and compassionate counterpart. When Alex is asked by his best friend to watch over Ava, he doesn’t expect his carefully controlled world to unravel – or for love to complicate his plans.

Huang masterfully blends themes of love, healing, and redemption with a touch of suspense. The grumpy x sunshine dynamic is a highlight, and their chemistry is electric – both tender and fiery. Ava’s growth as a character stands out; despite her trauma, she learns to reclaim her voice and strength. Alex, though Morally gray and often frustrating, shows depth that keeps readers invested in his transformation.

What makes this book engaging is Huang’s ability to balance heart-fluttering romance with deeper, more painful topics like grief, betrayal, and forgiveness. At times, Alex’s actions may feel harsh, and readers might find themselves torn between loving and hating him – but that’s what makes his character so memorable. Overall, “Twisted Love” is an emotional rollercoaster – equal parts swoon-worthy, heartbreaking, and empowering. It’s a perfect pick if you enjoy angsty romance, strong heroines, and flawed heroes who learn how to love.
