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\u2019ll need to rise above his tortured past and tarnished reputation.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">No one believes Ella can survive the Royals.

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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I love this series so far, I can admit that there are a lot of things about this installment that didn\u2019t quite hit for me. It is still enjoyable but the drawn-out way the story wrapped up for<strong> Ella<\/strong> and <strong>Reed<\/strong> seemed unrealistic.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad they finally got to be together but it was too long and wild of a story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Without giving so much away, a lot of questions were answered. We finally discovered who killed Brooke. I didn\u2019t see that coming actually because there were no real motives there but oh well it sped up the drama and opened up everyone\u2019s eyes a bit. I didn\u2019t like how things turned out with Dinah and Ella. I wouldn\u2019t 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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, I\u2019m invested in the series. I want more drama and flare to entertain me so I will continue on.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_v5mp798 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47CNX2a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3GnD1cY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/twisted-palace-erin-watt\/1123660864?ean=9780593642184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/twisted-palace-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Erin_Watt_Twisted_Palace?id=ubjHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From mortal enemies to unexpected allies, two teenagers try to protect everything that matters most.These Royals will ruin you\u2026Ella Harper has met every challenge that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,128,48,50],"tags":[152,214,216,217,404,405],"class_list":["post-30758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-4-stars","tag-coming-of-age","tag-contemporary","tag-contemporary-romance","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I love this series so far, I can admit that there are a lot of things about this installment that didn\u2019t quite hit for me. It is still enjoyable but the drawn-out way the story wrapped up for<strong> Ella<\/strong> and <strong>Reed<\/strong> seemed unrealistic.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad they finally got to be together but it was too long and wild of a story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Without giving so much away, a lot of questions were answered. We finally discovered who killed Brooke. I didn\u2019t see that coming actually because there were no real motives there but oh well it sped up the drama and opened up everyone\u2019s eyes a bit. I didn\u2019t like how things turned out with Dinah and Ella. I wouldn\u2019t 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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, I\u2019m invested in the series. I want more drama and flare to entertain me so I will continue on.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47CNX2a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3GnD1cY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/twisted-palace-erin-watt\/1123660864?ean=9780593642184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/twisted-palace-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Erin_Watt_Twisted_Palace?id=ubjHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30758"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30767,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30758\/revisions\/30767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
