Twisted Palace, the end of the Royals series, is a worthy continuation to Broken Prince or Paper Princess. This novel is subtitled "This Generation’s cruel intentions" and will appeal to historical fiction and fantasy lovers alike. Fans of historical fiction, vampires, and royal families will enjoy this novel. It was enjoyable! This review contains spoilers about Twisted Palace. Be prepared for spoilers!
Steve O'Halloran
"Steve O'Halloran's Twisted Palace", the second book of the Reed Royal series, is available. The first book ended with him accused of murdering Brooke Dawson and Steve O'Halloran returning from the dead to raise his daughter, Ella. However, Steve O'Halloran is not a typical father and is attempting to dictate everything to Ella. This is not an ideal situation for Ella, who is sick of being told what to do. She must learn to survive this relationship with Reed and Steve O'Halloran, or else she will become the next murder victim.
Ella
Ella from Twisted Palace is the third book in this series. Ella finds herself in a dangerous world, where she must save her mother, her father and her boyfriend. Her life has been full of hardship and she has just learned that her boyfriend is going to prison and her boyfriend's father is back. Reed is a man Ella trusts and loves. But is this the right man for Ella.
Reed
Reed's Twisted Palace sees young lovers fighting the law and saving their families. This novel is the work of two bestselling writers. Ella Reed and Ella are the greatest of friends. But their paths do not always go in the same direction. Throughout the series, readers will experience both of these characters' journeys as they battle their pasts to save their families and themselves.
Steve's relationship with Ella
The Broken Prince 3rd installment picks up from Twisted Palace. Ella has difficulty establishing a relationship and trusting her father. He is a selfish jerk. Steve strips Ella from Reed and sets her strict rules. Ella is left feeling unloved, and unsupported. But how is Ella supposed to survive with such a self-centered jerk?
Twisted Palace: The Falling Apart
Twisted Palace does a great job of explaining the love triangle between Ella, Reed and the novel. However, it lacks romance. Although the romance between Ella and Reed is more passionate and intense than most YA novels, it's overshadowed somewhat by Ella's machinations and the possibility of a murder conviction. Twisted Palace's romance may be a cliché.
Irritating ending to Steve's story
My disappointment was The Irritating Finale to Steve's Story at Twisted Palace. 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 give a lot of attention to finding the true killer, and there was no explanation of where Steve was. It's hard to imagine how much more interesting the story could have been without these recurring characters.
FAQ
What is the average number of movies Hollywood makes in a year?
Hollywood studios produce around 3,000 films per year. Yes, that's correct, three thousand!
Hollywood spends billions on film advertising. They spend millions to produce them. They also spend millions marketing them. However, how many actually make it to the theaters?
The answer is probably around 200-300. So what happens to all those other 2,700+ films? Many of the films are either directly-to-video released or left to collect dust in storage vaults.
They are not all destined to be overlooked. Some of them were selected for distribution via Netflix Prime, Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus, iTunes or Google Play.
So why don't we see more of them? Why aren't they released in theaters? They're too costly to produce.
And if they were cheaper to produce, they'd be released into theaters.
Here's where you find me. I can help you to find the best way to get your film into theaters.
I'll show you how to maximize your return on investment (ROI) and increase your chances of seeing your movie in theaters.
Let's face the facts...
Getting your film into theaters can be quite difficult. This process can be complicated, lengthy, and filled with legalities.
It can also come at a high cost before you even begin.
Even worse, your window of opportunity to distribute your film is very limited.
There is simply not enough time between the end of a film and when it goes on its theatrical run.
How much does it set you back to distribute a feature length film?
A distribution deal typically costs between $100,000 and $150,000.
The average theater cost is about $10,000.
The average cost per screen is around $5,000.
This means that your distribution fee for 100 screens would be approximately $500,000.
Distribution fees for ten screens would amount to $50,000
How many theaters will I need to return my investment?
It all depends on the length of your theatrical release.
If your film is going to be run for less then two weeks, one theater will suffice.
If your film is going to be screened for more then two weeks, you will need two theaters.
What is the difference between an independent film and a film in another language?
Independent films are usually made by one filmmaker who makes all of the decisions.
A foreign language film, on the other hand is usually produced by a larger production crew.
They frequently hire actors, directors, and writers from other countries.
So that the dialogue sounds natural, they also employ professional translators.
What happens to my film if it doesn't do well in the box office?
A film that does poorly at the box-office could lead to many problems.
You might first decide to modify the way you market your movie.
Second, you might decide to rework the script.
Third, you might consider adding characters.
Fourth, you may decide to remove certain characters.
Fifth, it is possible to decide to end the scene.
Sixth, you may decide that the film isn't worth making.
What's the difference between a manufacturer and a distributor?
The movie is created by a producer. The movie is distributed by a distributor. Distributors, theaters and other companies, such as Netflix, can be sold directly by producers. Distributors buy movies from producers. They then make them available for sale to theaters as well cable channels and streaming services.
Distributors need to negotiate with theater owners about where their movies will play. This could mean that certain theaters may charge more for a particular movie than others. A distributor should have multiple theaters in order to ensure that your movie is seen by as many people possible.
Are foreign sales more lucrative than domestic ones for Hollywood?
Yes, but it is only slightly. In 2017, foreign revenues accounted for about 17% of total revenue. 83% of domestic revenues were generated in 2017.
Over half of the world’s population is found in overseas markets.
This means that many people, even those who don't watch movies at home, will still want to see yours.

- If we translate this to a percentage, we get 28%, so let's be generous and say that ‘Hollywood studios' release about ⅓ of the movies released in the U.S. and Canada each year. (glitteratilobotomy.com)

It's made up of 2,711 stars, which are embedded in the sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard.

If you were nominated by an HWOF member, or if there are significant contributions made to the entertainment, film, radio, theatre, and music industries, you may be eligible for a "star" award. A committee reviews all the nominations before deciding whether or not they are approved. If they do, they will send a letter explaining their decision to the applicant at his/her home address. If the person accepts the nomination, he/she receives a second letter confirming acceptance. The applicant then pays $25 to the Hollywood Chamber of commerce, which forwards the money to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues a check payable to the Hollywood Chamber of commerce, which sends the check to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays the applicant or organization. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce then pays half of the fee ($12.50). The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs receives the remaining half.
Once the artist has received his/her star, he/she becomes eligible to be included in the HWOF. To be listed on the HWOF, you must pay the remaining balance owed to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The amount due is dependent on the number of years since you were first recognized. If you were first nominated for a nomination in 1990, your owe $15,000.

Why can't we just choose a different street and not have stars all over?
The HWOF isn't meant to be an historical monument. It is intended to honor all those who have made film history possible.
What happened to the stolen stars? The thieves took approximately 1,200 stars. Each star weighs between 250-300 lbs, so if you add up all the weight, that comes out to about 4 tons worth of stars!
