The first word that popped into my mind after I finished this book was �meh�.
I would consider myself a fan of Ana Huang but after reading the 6th book where she uses the same formula once again, it�s hard to find something entirely unique and special about this book.
I will admit that she mixes it up slightly in this book by having Kai be a gentleman but that�s about it. I can easily say that he�s the most stable out of the bunch of male protagonists in the Twisted universe but that might also be why I found him to be slightly boring.
We�re not exactly reading the Twisted books for the �nice�, �normal� love interests, are we?
I really liked Isabella as a character and think her struggles with loneliness as well as feeling behind in life compared to her friends, are easily relatable. Kai comes across as a really flat character compared to Isa, especially when he seems to be able to do everything perfectly.
There wasn�t any buildup to their relationship or any other plotlines to build up the main story, which created a faster pace than I was expecting. I�m not really a fan of how fast their relationship progressed, it made it feel a bit insta-lovey and flat.
I don�t think this was a bad book by any means and as a standalone to a curious reader it might be enjoyable, but compared to Ana Huang�s other books I can sadly only describe it as average.
