What an Aptly Named Disappointment., Sep 4 2011
By Kale "Unwasted Words Reviews" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Twisted (Hardcover)
What an aptly named disappointment. If you're looking for a continuation of all the wonderful things happening in the first two installments of this series, than be prepared to get nowhere fast.Normally I write a brief summary of the book and then an evaluation but I am truly at a loss for a real concrete storyline. Yeah Aden got somewhere with the souls in his head but Showalter spent a majority of the book on Aden's new alter ego and complete character reversals for our two main couples. Everyone changed so drastically so fast that I found myself wondering who are these people and where did the wonderful characters I loved so much go?
When I first picked up Intertwined I was blown away, I mean vampires, werewolves, witches, necromancy, a couple of interesting wildcard paranormals and two love stories, this book has everything I love about the genre. I invested in this intriguing story and got involved with these characters. I looked forward to the continuation of these books every long year. And now I feel like the author just trashed everything I invested in.
I think Gena Showalter is the truly twisted one here. To wait a year for a book that makes me think even the author wasn't happy with the direction so she went completely insane with the characters, extra light on the storyline, and destroyed everything just so she could have a do over.
This book is about 98% filler. I get the idea of Twisted, but with a weak storyline and without the anchor of the characters and romances the fans have grown to like it became muddled and confusing at times. Showalter let go of everything all at once so it was hard to hold on to the bits and pieces I came back for. Just when I find a familiar character or relationship, it's pulled out from under me and I'm left flailing for some point of interest. Twisted was executed poorly and was an unnervingly drastic change from the previous books. I wish the author would have just kept the important parts, left out the weird character developments, and moved on with the story.

Not as good as others in series, Nov 17 2011

This is my favorite YA series out right now and Aden has changed so much since the series opened with Intertwined. This book starts with the aftermath of Tucker stabbing Aden and Victoria trying to turn him into a vampire to save him. In this series it had been stated that humans can't be turned because it can also kill the vampire. Aden isn't a normal human so the circumstances for him were very different. I knew when Unraveled ended that the dynamic between Victoria and Aden would change I just wasn't expecting it to change so much.I had a hard time connecting with Aden at first but when I got into the book and really understood what Gena was trying to do it was a lot easier to accept. Aden has grown, he's lost one of the souls that grounded him, had someone almost kill him and woke up with more than Victoria's blood inside of him. He's not the sweet, loving boy he was before. While I missed the Aden I loved I grew to love the badass beast tamer as well.
So much happened in this book. I don't wanna spoil things so I won't go into detail but I will say I can't stand Tucker so I was happy with his storyline. I love Riley but I wasn't happy with what happened there or how his part of the story ended. I like Victoria more after this book and feel for both Shannon and Mary Ann. Poor Aden's been through hell and this book was the toughest on him both physically and emotionally.
Once again Gena ended things with a cliffhanger that will completely change Aden's world. I'm curious if what he tried will work and how it will change things. I'm kinda hoping it doesn't work but it could open up a lot of possibilities if it did. This wasn't my favorite book in the series but it was still good. I wish I didn't have to wait until 2013 to see how this series ends. I give this book 3.5 stars.

Where is this series going?, Oct 11 2011

I read the first book in this series and loved it. I couldn't wait for the next books to come out. This book is a far cry from the first one. It's awful. It goes nowhere fast. I've skipped through most of the book and have not been able to finish it. I wish you luck if you dare try to.
