What I thought about Twisted Palace
This review might be a bit tough to write because I don't want to spoil any thing in this series or in this third installment of The Royals series from Erin Watt. The second book ended with two rather significant situations for Reed and Ella, and I was very curious to see how their story was going to play out.
Most of the book was like the previous books in the series, where lots happens at the beginning and the end and Twisted Palace stays true to the soap-opera feel of the previous books. I know I've said this before, but there was such a prominent feeling to the book I have to mention it again. This entire series reminded me so much of watching the old soaps, Dallas and Dynasty, especially with all the action building toward the ending.
So while Reed deals with the fallout of the murder, Ella is dealing with the return of a long long relative. Both are having a terrible time of it, especially Reed because the stakes are so high and forces are trying to keep him away from Ella. There's very little interaction with the other Royal siblings because the focus is all on Reed and Ella. There really is another side to Reed, and I found that I liked how his character had changed over the course of this series.
There's a bit of drama at the high school too, as news of Reed's and Ella's predicament becomes known. Nothing like some good old high school drama to keep things interesting, not to mention some setups for possible future books.
There's quite a few red herrings in Twisted Palace to keep readers guessing about who did the dirty deed to Callum's fiancee, although I have to admit, the reveal wasn't all that surprising for me. I did finish the book wanting more about this crazy family.
Overall, I did enjoy this book which concludes Ella and Reed's story and I would probably be interested in follow-up stories about other characters in the Royal family. If you liked books one and two in this series, you will love this conclusion.
