The story follows Stella Alonso, a fashion influencer and aspiring designer, who finds herself in a difficult spot after being fired from her job at a fashion magazine. Desperate to secure a brand ambassadorship and fund her dream of launching her own fashion line, she reluctantly agrees to a fake-dating arrangement with Christian Harper, the enigmatic CEO of Harper Security and her apartment building’s landlord. Christian is known for his cold demeanor and morally gray actions, yet he is drawn to Stella. Their dynamic becomes even more intense when a stalker from Stella’s past resurfaces, forcing her to move into Christian’s penthouse for protection. Their relationship, built on convenience, slowly evolves into something far deeper and more complicated than either of them expected.
Twisted Lies was the fourth and final book in the series. This book was honestly just as satisfying as the first and the ending gave me all the conclusions I needed. Stella was such a fun character from the beginning and she had a lot of character development that was easy to pick up on. Christian was the same way and really started to grow on me, even though I liked him from the beginning.
Throughout this entire book, I never knew what was going to happen next in Stella and Christian's relationship. The plot got better and better and it was fun to see old characters returning and seeing their stories start to wrap up. It makes me very happy to read the first book in a series and see the development that those characters made by the end of the fourth book. Although you aren't directly reading their story anymore, you can still put all of the pieces together and watch them find their happy ending.
Overall, finishing the Twisted series was sort of disappointing because I did not want to put it down. I cannot wait to read the King of Wrath series and continue to support Ana Huang for her amazing work.
