Better than Book 3, but NOT as Good as Book 2

 Twisted Lies by Ana Huang 

This was better than book 3, but still not as strong as book 2. Again, it was hard to see yourself in the worst parts of the main character. However, Christian was a spectacular book boyfriend. That he had been down bad for Stella for literal years before they had actually met was crazy. So much so that for a hot second I thought he was the stalker, but I got over that quickly because that didn't make sense with his personality. I LOVE a fake relationship. It is one of my top tropes. And the move from fake to real *chefs kiss*. He was really good for her too, helping her find her courage and learn to stand up for herself and chase her dreams. The betrayal she felt was brutal. But, him using that to finally learn to express his emotions, and then sharing them with her. That her stalker was someone she knew; someone she even liked and halfway respected was crazy! That he took out his second in command immediately for selling secrets just to go save her was not unexpected, but that it was Kage that was selling him out was. The best part of this book was the bromance between the four guys. I cackled every single time they were together. I need a whole book of just them.  I'm not sure I would recommend this series, but I'm glad I read it.
