Caution:
Before reading “Twisted Kingdom,” check out the trigger warnings, as this book follows themes unsuitable for everyone. The book is a captivating dark high school bully romance within the world of mature new adult fiction, so let me give you a friendly head: if these themes don’t quite match your reading preferences, I recommend taking a moment to think about whether this book is the right fit for you before you dive in.
