Twisted Games is the second installment in Ana Huang’s self-published Twisted series, which consists of four novels that follow the interconnected love stories of four friends: Ava Chen (Twisted Love), Bridget von Ascheberg (Twisted Games), Jules Ambrose (Twisted Hate), and Stella Alonso (Twisted Lies). The Twisted novels can be read as standalones, but Huang recommends reading them in order for the best experience. As a standalone, Twisted Games spoils certain plot points of Twisted Love.

Twisted Love follows the story of Bridget’s friend Ava and her relationship with her brother’s best friend, Alex. Both characters also appear in Twisted Games. Many characters and plot points overlap between the two novels, and chronologically, the first part of Twisted Games occurs at the same time as the events of the previous novel. Though Bridget and Rhys are minor characters in Twisted Love, Rhys’s actions at the climactic moment of Huang’s first novel are addressed from a different perspective in Twisted Games. Similarly, Bridget performs a favor for Alex at the end of the first novel, which he returns for her in the second novel.

The third novel in the series, Twisted Hate, focuses on Ava’s brother Josh and her friend Jules, who have hated one another since they met.
