I have to admit in the beginning of the book I was super bored. I started this book on May 31 and finished it on July 9, which is an unusually long time for me to read a book. Despite how long it took me to read, I loved this book. Stella was a very easy character to like and she was so relatable. Christian was sometimes weird and definitely harder to understand but towards the end he was great. I enjoyed reading a main character who's job was in social media!

This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. All I can say is … TEARS. Many, many tears. It was entirely emotional but so wholesome. I already started the second book and it is just as good if not better. I LOVED IT!! I recommend it to everyone 16+ because while I loved it, it was extremely heavy and had mature topics.

The book was overall amazing, and I love the expanding story line from book 1 to 4. But I'm so angry that Matty is dead. What was Lois Lowry thinking killing off my favorite character of all four books. I think she should make books about the story line of how Jonas and Kira meet, and about Thomas and Jo's life during the 3rd book and how they live after Kira leaves with Matty, and about Jonas's village after he leaves with Gabe from The Giver's perspective. It was the best book I've ever read. ?? ?? ??

I haven't even finished this book yet and it is already changing my life!! I only have a little over one hundred pages left and it is SO good! I love all of the characters and Chloe Walsh does such a good job writing slow burn and emotional turmoil. I have SOBBED. It is amazing!!

Ashlee Latimer’s Witchkiller is a breathtaking, knife-sharp reimagining of Hansel and Gretel that dismantles the "happily ever after" with devastating precision. It is easily one of the most compelling young adult fantasy novels of the year. If you think you know this story, prepare to be entirely proven wrong.A Brutal, Honest Look at AftermathMost fairytales end when the monster dies. Witchkiller starts there. Latimer brilliantly explores the psychological toll of survival. Gretel isn't a celebrated hero; she is a deeply traumatized young woman drowning in nightmares and the physical memory of violence. Her struggle with PTSD is written with an authentic, raw empathy that anchors the magical elements of the world in stark reality.Complex, Toxic Family DynamicsThe heart of the book—and its most fascinating horror—is the fracturing relationship between the siblings. Hansel's transformation is terrifyingly grounded. Instead of being united by their trauma, he uses the witch’s stolen gold to buy his way into a cruel aristocracy, turning into a controlling monster of a different kind. The tension between Gretel’s desperate desire to protect her brother and her growing realization that he is beyond her saving is incredibly gripping.Subverting the "Wicked Witch"The world-building shines brightest when Gretel ventures back into the woods. Latimer beautifully subverts the classic propaganda of the "wicked witch." Seeing Gretel confront her own biases as she encounters a peaceful community of healers is a masterclass in thematic storytelling. It forces both the protagonist and the reader to question who the real monsters are in a society built on greed and patriarchal control.Perfect Tropes and PacingFor romance lovers, the fake-engagement plotline with Prince Wilfried is a spectacular breath of fresh air. It provides the perfect foil to the heavy family drama, offering witty banter, genuine emotional vulnerability, and a slow-burn chemistry that balances the darker themes of the book. The prose is atmospheric, lush, and moves at a relentless pace that makes all 336 pages fly by.

Nice ongoing suspense , but could have been more declarative on what will happen and could have been a little easy to foreshadow. Also, could have been a little more spiced up on the stories , too. Character traits are matching the character’s looks for most of the characters.

The book was amazing, except the serious fighting the whole book. Also when I came to the end of the book, the fight against upper 6 continued to the next book without ending the fight in this book itself. They could have made it a little more funny and take out the seriousness.

My absolute favorite character was definitely Death, but I hate, I mean 100% despise Bob the Vampyre. Like, why does he want to kill Serena. Uhhhhhhh! Death sounds so hottttttttt! I also imagine him really hot because he's a lunatic. Some parts of the beginning were really boring, so like it's only 4 stars.

Except for the beginning of the book, being a bit boring ;overall the book was awesome. It had a big twist at the end and who doesn't like a good plot twist especially since the book is called "Twisted Love". I freaking hate Michael because he was an abusive father who tried to kill Ava countless times and blamed it on a Ava's mother and that led to her oddball herself because she hated her life.

I think it was amazing that the past two main characters were both in this story s side characters with big roles and I especially love that Matt is now named Matty. I also like that the powers that Jonas, Kira, Matty, and Gabe have are somewhat explained. It was overall a really good story that I would absolutely recommend.
