No epilogue!?! What the hell? 
 This was a great series. Twisted Palace was super high on the angst. Even though I was positive who the killer was from the very beginning of this book, it was still quite a ride to actually see how everything would play out. 
 I spent a good majority of the book hating Steve and being pissed off about his bullshit and annoyed that Ella wasn't putting her foot down or rebelling further. She was 17, she should have been like "fuck this, fuck you, I'm out." I adored Reed, Easton, the twins, and loved how they all, even Gideon when he was home, had Ella's back. Their family loyalty was fantastic and so heart warming. It's something I really enjoy seeing in books. Callum may have made a lot of mistakes, but he was a good man and a good father. I loved him too. I think it would be fun to see more of Val and Wade's story and also Gideon and Savannah. 
 I would definitely recommend the Royals series and I want to stress that even though this is about high schoolers, it does not feel like a YA book whatsoever. I almost didn't read these books because I assumed they were YA. A friend mentioned to me that they aren't the typical YA and to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. I was completely captivated by these books and devoured all 3 in 2 days. I couldn't put them down.
