Twisted Lies (Twisted, 4) Paperback – September 27, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
A fake-dating billionaire romance from New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Ana Huang.
Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman.
He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can't deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him.
She's the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can't solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can't refuse.
Every monster has their weakness. She's his.
His obsession.
His addiction.
His only exception.
***
Sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame, Stella Alonso is a romantic who keeps her heart in a cage.
Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship.
But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms―and house―of the most dangerous man she's ever met, she's tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time.
Because despite Christian's cold nature, he makes her feel everything when she's with him.
Passionate.
Protected.
Truly wanted.
Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies…and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book is the last of the series. As I finished, I felt so empty and unwell! I cannot believe this series had such an impact on me as a reader. The series wrapped up well and Ana Huang is an amazing author. She always has me hooked with whatever she writes. I'm glad that even though the series can be read standalone, I still read them in order, which tugged at my emotions as I got to know each couple individually. As for the tome itself, I thought it was a masterpiece! The pacing was definitely taking its time, but i loved EVERY MINUTE of it as I am a sucker for slow AGONIZING burn love. Christian was a sloth but it's alright because once everything unraveled, it was worth it. I LOVEEE CHRISTIAN. HE IS THE STANDARD! He is a romantic, detailed-oriented, helpful, grumpy, ruthless, crazy, psycho, shrewd, intelligent, irrational, you name it. He is my DREAM book boyfriend. Don't even get me started on his suits, always adjusting cuff links and sleeves rolls, and yanking his ties (I melted every time). One of my favorite scenes was when Christian took her to his apartment and bathed her. He is such a gentleman it hurts. Also how he comforted Stella when he found her crumbled up under her sidetable because she was so frightened with the stalker. The scene almost made me tear up. Stella is one of the most delicate, royal, compassionate character. I think her character development was written really well. She went from this scared, demure, and a pleaser to confident and strong person (with Christian's help of course). Even though Christian is a psychopath, I was ravenous for him! He blew up someone's car because they smiled at him wrong and them stolen his parking spot. Especially when he was dealing with the stalker had me GAGGED! Or when he stabbed Stella's groper hand slowly and then spilled his $20k vintage wine on his ravaged wound, then shot the guy on his way out, GAGGEDD! His ruthlessness is so so sexy and fine. Especially when he puts on his "gloves." I love his obsession with Stella! This man lowered their rent with a "done," no debate needed. I love all the couples' friendships. They are a family and are always there to protect one another. It was beautiful how they try to make as much time with each other now that they're all grown. Alex's and Josh's cameos were funny. Josh was always saying/doing something inane to piss Christian and Alex off. Did I mention how HOT it was to see Christian and Alex play chess together? Drool!! I'm beaming with joy that Ava, Bridget, Jules, and Stella have found their love partners and deservedly so. Their bond is unbreakable. Congrats to Ava, Bridget, and Stella with the twin, daughter, and a pregnancy. Christian will EAT his words AGAIN as always for making fun of Rhys being a father (though certain kids really were obnoxious). Overall, this series is immaculate and perfect in every way. It is a must read AND as much as i hate to say this, but they definitely need to be read in order! P.S. Christian chipped away at me piece by piece. Christian has my heart, mind, and soul.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI was so excited for this couple. For a while I thought this was going to be my least favorite of the series. There was parts I loved and parts I wasn’t fond of. The toxic men growing through their emotional immaturities is good but also redundant. The smut is great as is usual for Huang. Some of the parts just weren’t believable for me and I started to feel like I read the same book 4 times with minimal variations. The ending cheered it up for me. Tying up all their stories and the beautiful village they made out of the tragedies that they came from. A great place to end the twisted series.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAna ended the series on a high with this one. Twisted Lies has officially become my favorite of the Twisted Series by Ana Huang.
Twisted Lies is a spicy, slow burn, fake dating romance with elements of stalking, violence and past trauma. The writing was exquisite (as we already know with Ana) and the pacing was just right. It never dragged or felt like it was too long.
I was extremely excited to read Cristian's story after seeing his cameo roles in the previous books, and I just knew I was gonna love his character, and Ana Huang did not disappoint. Christian Harper is simply the perfect morally gray book boyfriend we all need. We knew the cold, calculated billionaire had a dark, dangerous side to him, but we learn here that even though he doesn't think he could love but Stella is an exception. His love is basically an obsession, and he is extremely protective of her.
Stella is an absolute sweetheart with the kindest hearts, and I loved learning more about her personality . It was nice to see her growth. She has a strong front in front of others and tends to keep the peace by pleasing those around her but has struggled with a lot of anxiety and self-doubt within. It was lovely to see her growth by the end to a confident woman who does what she desires and speaks up for herself without fear.
The chemistry between the two was absolutely sizzling and what made this story so epic. Their love and connection was something intense and they completed each other perfectly!
This series has become one of my all-time faves especially in contemporary romances and would recommend it to all romance lovers. I totally see myself coming back for a reread!

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.
Hace mucho que un libro no me hacía sentir tantas emociones, llevaba esperando leer TL desde que salió, y no lo había hecho, porque este es uno de esos libros en los que necesito tener la copia fisica en mis manos para poder disfrutar la historia, vaya que la disfrute , en serio que esperaba mucho de esta pareja y no me decepcionaron.
Christian y Stella, cumplieron con mis expectativas, explosivos, misteriosos, perfectos el uno para el otro, su historia se ha convertido en mi favorita de toda la serie, los ame mucho, les juro que todo el libro me sentí cómo si fuera su mal tercio, porque estaba tan adentrada en la historia que me sentí parte de ella.
Ame a los personajes individualmente, creo que cada uno con sus inseguridades, su pasado y sus momentos juntos me ganaron por completo (Sorry not sorry Josh&Jules), y la forma en la que la autora incluyó a los personajes de los otros 3 libros en el final de este, se me hizo increíble, enserio que sentí cómo esta serie se terminó y wow!!! Me ha fascinado, el epílogo 10 de 10.
Debo decir que conecte con Stella en otro nivel enserio que este personaje me lo llevo en el corazón, su dulzura, creatividad, la forma de ver el mundo y sobre todo, el esfuerzo que puso en cada momento para llegar a ser la Stella Alonso que vemos al final me hizo muy feliz.
Se sabe que de Christian Harper no hay nada que decir, si han leído el libro saben que este hombre es un sueño, la perfección en todo el esplendor de la palabra, quiero uno así ya !
En fin, no me queda nada más que decirles, CORRAN a conocer a mi hombre si aún no lo han hecho, no se van a arrepentir!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how you end a series!
I want to start of saying that I loved the first 3 books in this series so my expectations were high. And after reading a heartbreaking romance I wanted something spicy and this is just that. I was a little concerned about halfway in without much spice but we got there eventually. And the storytelling is really good, I couldn’t put it down!
Stella is such a relatable character. Slightly introverted, avoids conflict at any price and just a really nice person. Throughout the book she really grows more comfortable in her skin and that’s so inspiring to see. And then we have Christian the morally gray alpha hero, need I say more.
Beware of triggers warnings before reading this one, there are a bunch.
I love the girls but come on, the dynamics between their partners. I would be down for an entire book about a guys trip, that would be wild I mean just imagine all the possibilities.
