Twisted Palace is the conclusion of the Royals trilogy and a worthy successor to Broken Prince & Paper Princess. This novel, titled "This Generation’s Cruel Intendeds", will appeal to both historical fiction and fantasy fans. It's also an excellent read for fans of royal families, historical fiction, and vampires. It was great! This review contains spoilers for Twisted Palace, so be prepared for spoilers!
Steve O'Halloran
"Steve O'Halloran and Twisted Palace" (the second book in this series) is the Reed Royal's second book. His first book was about him being accused in the murder of Brooke Dawson. Steve O'Halloran then returned from the grave to raise Ella. Steve O'Halloran may not be a typical father and is trying his best to dictate what Ella should do. This is not an ideal situation for Ella, who is sick of being told what to do. Or she will be the next victim of murder if she doesn't learn how to get out of this relationship with Reed or Steve O'Halloran.
Ella
Ella from the Twisted Palace is book three in the series. Ella finds herself in a dangerous world, where she must save her mother, her father and her boyfriend. Her life has been difficult and now she finds out that her boyfriend will be going to prison, and her boyfriend's father has returned. Reed is a man she loves and trusts, but is he the right man for Ella?
Reed
Reed's Twisted Palace teaches young lovers how to fight the law and save themselves and their families from the evils of the law. Two bestselling authors came up with the idea for this novel. Ella Reed and Ella, two of the most beloved characters in the series, are also best friends. However, their paths may not always be straight. The series follows the lives of both characters as they fight their pasts to save themselves and their families.
Steve and Ella's relationship
The Broken Prince trilogy continues in the same vein as Twisted Palace. Ella struggles to establish a relationship with her father, a selfish jerk. Steve breaks her apart from Reed and sets very strict rules for Ella to follow. Ella feels unloved. How can Ella survive a relationship that is self-centered?
Twisted Palace: A Falling Apart
Twisted Palace balances Ella and Reed's love triangle well but lacks romance. The romance between Ella (and Reed) is more passionate than those in most YA books, but it is overshadowed a possible murder conviction and Ella’s machinations. Twisted Palace's romance ends up being a cliché.
Steve's tale ends with a painful ending
The Twisted Palace's Irritating Ending of Steve's Story was disappointing. The storyline was focused on Ella and Reed's relationships, Brooke and her baby daddy, as well as Steve's relationship to Ella's mom. The author didn’t pay much attention in finding the killer. There was no explanation for where Steve was. I'm not sure how much more the storyline could have been without these reoccurring characters.

Why is it called Hollywood?
D.W. Griffith created the first movie industry in California in 1887. It was named after its location in Los Angeles, which at the time was known as "Hollywood."
Because it was an exciting area to visit, the name stuck. People would travel all the way from other countries to see what was happening.
Hollywood is still a part of our culture today. We have movies and television shows, music videos, commercials and so on. All of them are called "Hollywood."
Why is it that so few independent films are ever released?
Indie filmmakers tend to assume that distributors will buy their films.
Because they are confident that the public will love their film, they believe distributors would be willing to buy it.
However, this is seldom the case. Distributors often profit from independent filmmakers.
They employ tactics like delaying a movie's release until after awards season has ended.
They delay the release of a low-budget movie until after the summer blockbuster seasons has started.
Distributors try to keep films out of the hands of audiences until they've spent hundreds on tickets, popcorn, and candy.
They don’t want to miss out on these profits.
How many theaters will I need to return my investment?
It all depends on how long your theatrical release will be running.
You will only need one theater to show your film if you plan to run it for less that two weeks.
If you're going to run your film for longer than two weeks, then at least two theaters are needed.
Can I start my own distribution company?
No. Without being a distributor, you cannot legally establish a distribution company.
You can't distribute other peoples films but you have to adhere to certain rules.
For example, you can't charge different prices to different theaters. You cannot also charge different fees to customers.
Also, you can't offer your services to any other company.
How much does Hollywood make per year?
Production costs on average for a movie are around $100 million. For a decade, ten movies would be enough to produce enough money for a country.
A private island with an airport and power plant, as well as a bank, post office and police station, would be yours.
If that doesn’t sound like fun, you must be insane.
What happens when my film doesn't perform well at the box office?
Several things could happen if your film performs poorly at the box office.
First, it is possible to decide to modify how you market the film.
You might also decide to modify the script.
Third, it is possible to add additional characters.
