From mortal enemies to unexpected allies, two teenagers try to protect everything that matters most.
These Royals will ruin you…
Ella Harper has met every challenge that life has thrown her way. She’s tough, resilient, and willing to do whatever it takes to defend the people she loves, but the challenge of a long-lost father and a boyfriend whose life is on the line might be too much for even Ella to overcome.
Reed Royal has a quick temper and even faster fists. But his tendency to meet every obstacle with violence has finally caught up with him. If he wants to save himself and the girl he loves, he’ll need to rise above his tortured past and tarnished reputation.
No one believes Ella can survive the Royals. Everyone is sure Reed will destroy them all.
They may be right.
With everything and everyone conspiring to keep them apart, Ella and Reed must find a way to beat the law, save their families, and unravel all the secrets in their Twisted Palace.

Twisted Palace picks right up at the cliffhanger of the last book. Reed is still facing a lot of serious charges. Ella is scared and she has to deal with yet another major surprise in her life. Every single man in her life at this point is pulling her in multiple directions and she is trying to protect herself in this crazy new dynamic.
While I love this series so far, I can admit that there are a lot of things about this installment that didn’t quite hit for me. It is still enjoyable but the drawn-out way the story wrapped up for Ella and Reed seemed unrealistic. I’m glad they finally got to be together but it was too long and wild of a story.
Without giving so much away, a lot of questions were answered. We finally discovered who killed Brooke. I didn’t see that coming actually because there were no real motives there but oh well it sped up the drama and opened up everyone’s eyes a bit. I didn’t like how things turned out with Dinah and Ella. I wouldn’t have been kind to Dinah one bit. I do understand that Ella just wanted the nightmare to finally end and to make sure Reed was safe.
I think the most annoying factor in this story is the brothers. I really do understand that these are high schoolers but they were so annoying. They are spoiled and privileged. There are serious consequences to what transpired with them and other characters at school yet nothing ever happened. It is just so over the top. Even the way the other kids at the school behaved was just ridiculous.
Overall, I’m invested in the series. I want more drama and flare to entertain me so I will continue on.
