Quick Guide To The Ana Huang Universe!

Written by Madison Childress. Published: May 29 2025

 

Welcome to the Ana-verse!

 

If you’ve ever fallen down the rabbit hole of romantic fiction on BookTok, chances are you’ve come across Ana Huang. And if you haven’t, we’re here to change that! Ana Huang is a best-selling author known for her spicy romances, deep plotlines, and interconnected character universes. She has four series under her belt: If LoveTwistedKings of Sin, and her newest, Gods of the Game. She’s built a universe that fans can’t get enough of.

 

Whether you're just getting started or have read every book, here’s everything you need to know about the Ana Huang universe!

 

Start Here: The Twisted Series

If you’re new to Ana’s world, we recommend you start with Twisted Love. Trust us, this is an excellent introduction to world-building. Twisted Love follows Ava, a sweet, aspiring photographer, who spends the Summer with her brother’s best friend, Alex Volkov. He’s cold, calculated, and incredibly swoon-worthy. Of course, sparks fly, and what starts as reluctant cohabitation quickly turns into something far more intense. As the series unfolds, you’ll meet Ava’s girl gang — Bridget, Stella, and Jules — and each girl gets her own unforgettable love story.

 

Book 2: Twisted Games – Think The Princess Diaries, but spicy. Princess Bridget falls for her brooding bodyguard, and it’s a chef’s kiss. (Spoiler Alert: Personal fave!)
Book 3: Twisted Hate – Jules and Josh (Ava’s brother) can’t stand each other… until they can’t keep their hands off each other.

Book 4: Twisted Lies – Stella, the influencer with golden retriever energy, meets Christian Harper, a morally grey billionaire with skeletons in his closet.

 

Read this series in order — the slow-burn payoff is worth it!

 

Next Up: The Kings of Sin Series

Once you've finished Twisted, move on to the Kings of Sin series, where billionaire bad boys rule and secrets run deep in Club Valhalla. The title of the series refers to the Seven Deadly Sins, which each book in the series tackles.

 

Book 1: King of Wrath – features Dante Russo (Christian’s bestie from Twisted Lies) and his arranged-marriage-turned-real-romance with Vivian Lau. It’s rich with drama and sexual tension and, like all Ana’s books, includes cameo appearances and hidden gems referencing her other series.

 

Book 2: King of Pride – The second book follows a free-spirited bartender named Isabella and her unlikely romance with the club's billionaire patron. They must decide if they want to break societal (and Club employment) rules to give their love a shot. 

 

Book 3: King of Greed – Self-made billionaire Dominic Davenport and his loving wife of ten years, Alessandra, are trying desperately to repair their once loving marriage. When he fails to show up for their 10th anniversary, tension reaches a boiling point. This book follows Dominic as he confronts the mess he made.

 

Book 4: King of Sloth – Xavier Castillo is known as a lazy and spoiled heir. To inherit his father's billion-dollar assets, he must prove himself worthy. When his ambitious publicist, Sloane, steps in to help, they can no longer deny their feelings. 

 

Book 5: King of Envy – The most recent story in the series follows a long-teased character named Vuk and his infatuation with his best friend’s fiancée, Ayana. As Vuk discovers her engagement isn’t as happy as it seems, he must decide to follow his heart or remain loyal to his friend. 

 

Upcoming:

 

Book 6: King of Gluttony – Set to release in April 2026

 

Book 7: King of Lust  – Release date TBA.

 

This series revolves around members of an exclusive billionaires club called Club Valhalla. So if you're dreaming of being swept off your feet by a dangerously charming, powerful man, look no further!

 

Optional Read: If Love Series

The If Love series is Ana Huang’s first and shortest collection. It is a perfect quick weekend binge. While it's not as polished as her later works, it remains a fun read with plenty of romance and a few steamy scenes. It's perfect for someone looking for a fast-paced love story!

 

TBR: Gods of the Game Series

Ana’s newest series is a sporty spin on her signature style. Only one book has been released so far, but it’s already making waves.

 

Book 1: The Striker – This first installment centers on star soccer player Asher Donovan, a character heavily teased in her earlier books. It combines celebrity drama, fiery romance, and those classic Huang emotional stakes we all love. It left us eagerly waiting for what’s next!

 

Upcoming:

 

Book 2: The Defender – Expected release date of October 28, 2025

 

Ana Huang is the queen of emotionally charged, slow-burn romance with just the right amount of spice. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic, a lover of morally grey men, or just here for the drama, her universe has something for everyone.
