Ah, plot twists. They bring the story to life, they leave your readers gasping in shock, and they LEAVE HOLES IN YOUR READERS SOULS! (See what I did there? That sentence did not go how you expected! Plot twist!)
But seriously, plot twists are key. There's three parts to every good story. The beginning, the middle, and the twist. Reading a plot twist is a momentous moment for any devoted reader of yours, and they'll tell all the people that take book recommendations from them and be like, "You have got to read this book! It has such a good plot twist!" But they won't tell the person what it is because they're good people.

YOUR ASSASSIN! DIE DIE DIE!
(*distant scream as birds fly away*)
Hehehe.
But seriously. So what makes a good plot twist?
-It has to be sudden. Your reader needs to be like, "Woah!"
-it has to be unexpected. In the Faults in Our Stars-
Warning: Spoiler ahead. If you are not done reading the Faults in Our Stars by John Green, do not read on until you are instructed to do so.
The readers all thought Hazel was going to die, but Augustus died instead (*sobs*). This plot twist made all the readers cry, because they had mentally prepared for Hazel to die, but then Augustus did instead.
Also, when they went to visit Van Houten, and the story was all set up for him to be an awesome guy and answer Hazel's questions so that she could die knowing them, but he was just a drunken jerk.
Spoiler over. It is now safe to continue.
So your twist must be something that is surprising
-The story needs to set the reader up for something else, because then it becomes a bigger shock. Through out the story you need to make the reader think that something else is going to happen and then BAM! Plot twist!
And that my friends, is how to make an awesome plot twist.
