Twisted Palace

Okay, here we gooooooo! This book, even though it did drag a little bit, was actually really good. I saw the plot twist of Steve being the murderer from the beginning, and the anticipation of waiting for exactly how it was going to be revealed, and then him almost murdering his own daughter! Like, he was trying and failing to be a good dad, and then he totally lost it when she was like, you did it, and he was like, no ... But it was him, and he was going to blame the whole thing on Reed and let his god son take the blame. And he was pissed about Ella and Reed dating because he was supposedly a murderer even though he knew that Reed wasn't because he was, and he murdered Brooke because he thought it was his wife!

And not only that, but because he is a bastard and a terrible person, he had an affair with Maria because he convinced her that Callum was cheating on her, because Steve was a cheating bastard, and convinced Maria that Callum was one too, even though he genuinely loved Maria and would never cheat on her. The guilt over cheating is one of the main reasons that she killed herself, and she wrote Steve a note explaining as so, and while Brooke had been staying in the apartment, she found the letter, and had actually hidden it in her room, which then became Ella's room, and Ella found the letter, and when she confronted Steve about it, he almost killed her, and she was like, you killed Brooke too, and he had a whole break down explaining how he was a terrible person, and Diana, the unexpected savior same in and SHOT Steve to prevent him from killing Ella. The ending of the book, like all the books in this series was a whorl wind.
