Loved the build-up in this book and the character development of the sisters.
It didn't end how i expected it to, and I thoughtthe battle scene would be dragged out longer.
I have found that after reading this book, I need a break from ACOTAR-verse, whereas usually, I'd be happy to jump straight into the next book. I don't know if it was because I felt like the MCs found closure (imo) or what, but I feel this would have been a good conclusion to the series.
Sure, I will pick up ACOFAS and ACOSF in due course and be proven wrong, but I need something else for now.
Plot: 4/5
Spice: 2/5
Book boyfriend: 5/5 (Rhys is such a gent, despite his morally grey tendancies)

Overall, I really enjoyed this boom. I loved the Carnival/magic theme. And found it refreshing.
I found the mysterious element intriguing, and it made me want to continue reading whenever I had a free moment.
Though it is far from a typical fairytale due to the themes, I was drawn to the innocence of the FMC.
My only downside: I felt like the ending dragged out a little. But this certainly won't deter me from reading the rest of the trilogy.

I don't usually read novellas as I prefer the attention to detail and a decent plot line that you only usually get in a novel.
However, if you're after a story that jumps straight into the spice, this is a worthy candidate.
It's no literary masterpiece and it's rather fantastical, but was enjoyable all the same.
Think I'll chalk this one up to a guilty pleasure.

I would give this book more than 5 stars if it was possible.
Not a typical dark romance, it has more of a do mastic thriller vibe. That being said, I think it definiterly appers to the dark romance read1er demographic.
The relationship between the MCs is toxic AF, butimo are still really endearing.
The plot twists in the story were AMAZING!!
And its so easy to see the good in the MMC despite his attitude and his terrible actions.
Also, seven though its a standalone the setup for book two, was seamless. I think it provided enough of a setup for the protagonist of book 2 without detracting from this story line.
Plot 5/5
Spice 3/5
Book boyfriend 3.5/5

As with all of the twisted series, it's definitely a diamond. Seeing how Jules & Josh's relationship grew was so sweet. Very cliche and maybe even predictable in parts, but this did not detract from the lighthearted enjoyment factor. Looking forward to the final installment, Twisted Lies

Enjoyable, easy read. I preferred Praise, but it was enjoyable. I feel like the immaturity of the FMC shone through at times as I felt she was quite naive in her narrative. Also, I felt like the story could have gone deeper. But overall, I can't knock it.
