NOT what I was expecting.

Twisted

"You know that saying, "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?" That's a crock. Whoever said it didn't know a fucking thing about love. Ignorance is better; it's painless."

I gave Tangled 5 stars. I loved it so much. I was very excited about Twisted but I was really disappointed.

The beginning was great, a little quiet and happy. This is from Kate’s POV. Kate and Drew are the happy, cute and sexy couple.  But then it just went down hill.... I loved the first 35% of the book. I couldn't get enough of it. And then somewhere after the 40% mark, it started to irritate me.
 

The worst part of the book is at the 35% mark and I nearly wanted to cry because I was so upset. Twisted was just filled with angst! It means a simple problem could have been resolved if both Drew and Kate talked it out with common sense. The root of their main problem was miscommunication and I can’t stand that in books. Jumping to conclusions, misunderstanding over misunderstanding and the whole situation is totally sh**. Truthfully, it just felt way too drawn out.

Towards the climatic ending, it got better, but by the time I got there I was just so devastated by the direction at the 35% mark, I couldn’t get over it. I just wanted the story to be over and move forward.

I’m sorry, this just didn’t work for me and it killed me so much! I think my expectations were set too high and I was just expecting greatness. At one point we did get Drew’s POV and I loved it. It goes without saying that the epilogue was the BEST part of the entire book.

I AM SO FREAKIN' SAD. Because I LOVEEEEEEED Tangled and this was like MEH.

BUT I'm still a big fan of the author's writing style so I'll definitely read the next book in the series. Maybe my expectations of this one were just a bit too high.
