Ana Huang Books in Order (2026) — The Complete Twisted & Kings of Sin Reading Order
Ana Huang’s books technically read as standalones — every listing says so — but nobody who’s read them believes it. The Twisted friend group cameos through Kings of Sin, couples from earlier books officiate, meddle, and throw parties in later ones, and reading out of order means meeting characters at their wedding before you’ve met them at their worst. With King of Gluttony (book six of Kings of Sin) newly out and a seventh book already announced, here’s the complete, current reading order.
The Quick Answer: Every Ana Huang Book in Order
- Twisted Love (Twisted #1)
- Twisted Games (Twisted #2)
- Twisted Hate (Twisted #3)
- Twisted Lies (Twisted #4)
- King of Wrath (Kings of Sin #1)
- King of Pride (Kings of Sin #2)
- King of Greed (Kings of Sin #3)
- King of Sloth (Kings of Sin #4)
- King of Envy (Kings of Sin #5)
- King of Gluttony (Kings of Sin #6) — new in 2026
Publication order and recommended order are the same. Twisted first, then Kings of Sin — the Kings of Sin cast overlaps social circles with the Twisted crew, and the cameos land better in that direction. (Huang also wrote the earlier If Love series and the newer Gods of the Game sports romances; both stand apart from this timeline and can be read anytime.)
The Twisted Series in Order
1. Twisted Love
Alex Volkov and Ava Chen — the brother’s-best-friend, grumpy-sunshine, touch-her-and-die book that made Huang a BookTok institution. Alex is the ice-cold blueprint every dark possessive hero since has been measured against, and Ava is the sunshine that cracks him open. Start here; the whole universe grows out of this friend group. Get Twisted Love on Amazon →
2. Twisted Games
Rhys Larsen and Princess Bridget von Ascheberg — the royal/bodyguard entry, and for a large faction of readers the best book Huang has written. Forbidden, slow-burn, a man paid to keep everyone exactly like himself away from her. Get Twisted Games on Amazon →
3. Twisted Hate
Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose — the enemies-to-lovers book, with two volumes of accumulated mutual contempt behind it and the highest heat of the series when the wall finally comes down. Reading this before books one and two works plot-wise but wastes two books of buildup. Get Twisted Hate on Amazon →
4. Twisted Lies
Christian Harper and Stella Alonso — the fake-dating finale with the series’ most openly dangerous hero: a monster in a tailored suit whose obsession with the woman one floor down breaks every rule he has. Closes out the friend group and hands the baton to the billionaire circle Kings of Sin runs in. Get Twisted Lies on Amazon →
The Kings of Sin Series in Order
Seven deadly sins, seven billionaires atoning for them. Six are out as of 2026; each book stands alone as a couple but the social web is continuous, and the sin-holders keep showing up in each other’s books.
5. King of Wrath
Dante Russo and Vivian Lau — blackmail forces a billionaire CEO into an engagement with the daughter of his newest enemy. Arranged marriage, ice king, the strongest Kings of Sin opener argument for reading in order: everyone else in the series orbits this wedding. Get King of Wrath on Amazon →
6. King of Pride
Kai Young and Isabella Valencia — the buttoned-up media heir who translates classics into Latin for fun versus the purple-haired bartender at his private club. Forbidden opposites-attract with a CEO vote hanging over every stolen moment. Get King of Pride on Amazon →
7. King of Greed
Dominic and Alessandra Davenport — the marriage-in-trouble book, and the emotional outlier of the series: she leaves the King of Wall Street at the top of their empire, and he burns it down to win her back. The series’ best grovel by a wide margin. Get King of Greed on Amazon →
8. King of Sloth
Xavier Castillo and Sloane Kensington — the charming heir who refuses his empire and the publicist paid to manage him. Reverse grumpy-sunshine, client/publicist forced proximity, and the funniest banter in either series. Get King of Sloth on Amazon →
9. King of Envy
Vuk Markovic and Ayana Kidane — the scarred, nearly silent billionaire whose only exception is a supermodel engaged to his oldest friend. The darkest, most obsession-forward entry in Kings of Sin and the fan-favorite of the back half of the series. Get King of Envy on Amazon →
10. King of Gluttony — New in 2026
Sebastian Laurent and Maya Singh — the newest release (April 2026) and the reason older reading-order guides are out of date. Childhood rivals, a culinary empire, forced proximity, a snowed-in road trip, and a decades-old stolen letter that recontextualizes the whole rivalry. Get King of Gluttony on Amazon →
What’s next: Kings of Sin is listed as a seven-book series, so one sin remains — and the fandom’s money is on Killian getting the final book, expected around 2027. Huang’s Gods of the Game sports-romance series (The Striker, The Defender) is the parallel lane to follow in the meantime.
What to Read Between Huang Releases
Ten books goes faster than you’d think, and the wait for book seven is long. If the dark-billionaire, possessive-hero lane is your lane, the indie Kindle Unlimited shelf runs it at a heat register the trad-pub pipeline restrains: The Heir Apparent (Rowan Black — the patriarch, the son’s ex, the boardroom that can’t contain it), The CEO’s Wife (Isla Wilde — trapped marriage, rival CEO, the exit she was never supposed to want), and Ruthless Vows (Lucian Gray — the arranged-marriage debt collected at mafia register, novella length). All free with Kindle Unlimited, all with first chapters free on their book pages. For the full comp treatment, our Books Like Twisted Love roundup goes ten deep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to read the Twisted series before Kings of Sin?
No — every book is written to stand alone, and Kings of Sin has its own cast. But the universes touch, the cameos run in one direction, and Twisted-first is the order that makes every appearance land. If you only want one series, Kings of Sin is the more current commitment (six books and growing).
Can I read the Twisted books out of order?
Plot-wise, yes; emotionally, no. Twisted Hate in particular spends two books building the Josh/Jules antagonism before their book starts — read it third or lose the payoff. Publication order (Love, Games, Hate, Lies) is the intended experience.
Are Ana Huang’s books on Kindle Unlimited?
Availability has shifted over time as her publishing deals evolved — several titles have been in and out of KU, so check the current listing on each book. If they’re in when you look, a Kindle Unlimited free trial covers a lot of Huang in one month. Most of her recent titles also offer discounted Audible add-ons from the Kindle page, and the audiobooks are duet-narrated.
How spicy are Ana Huang’s books?
Solidly open-door — 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (4/5) on the standard scale, explicit and frequent but calibrated to the mainstream BookTok register. Twisted Hate and King of Envy run hottest; King of Sloth leans more banter-forward. Readers who want the same architecture past that ceiling usually land on the indie KU shelf next.
