Is *Twisted Love* worth reading?

Yes—readers praise its addictive pacing (4.4/5 Goodreads), emotional depth, and Alex’s morally complex character. Critics note some plot predictability, but the chemistry between leads and Ana Huang’s signature blend of spice/angst make it a standout in contemporary romance.

00:00

Alex Volkov is a man carved from ice-brilliant, ruthless, and emotionally impenetrable. At twenty-six, he's already the COO of a Fortune 500 company with a genius IQ and a multimillion-dollar portfolio. But beneath his perfectly tailored suits lies a man consumed by vengeance. For sixteen years, he's been meticulously planning to destroy the person responsible for his family's murder-a night he witnessed at ten years old through a secret passageway, every horrific detail preserved by his rare condition: hyperthymesia. He doesn't just remember his trauma; he relives it with perfect clarity every day. Then there's Ava Chen-warm, optimistic, and determined to find beauty in everything. A talented photography student with dreams of capturing the world through her lens, she carries her own shadows. Everything before age nine exists in what she calls "The Blackout"-a complete memory gap punctuated only by recurring nightmares of drowning that wake her screaming at 4:44 a.m., the Chinese "death hour." When Ava's brother Josh leaves for a year-long volunteer program, he asks his best friend Alex to keep an eye on her. What Josh doesn't know is that Alex befriended him specifically to get close to their family-believing Ava's father responsible for his parents' deaths. As these two opposite souls collide, what begins as reluctant proximity ignites into something neither expected.
