YA Review: Unraveled (Harlequin Teen) [Hardcover]



I've finished "Unraveled" the 2nd book in her Aden Stone series by Gena Showalter.

Product Description

Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life. Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King — while still a human! Well, kind of.

With four — oops, three now — human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been "different" himself. These souls can time-travel, raise the dead, possess another's mind and, his least favorite these days, tell the future.

The forecast for Aden? A knife through the heart.

Because a war is brewing between the creatures of the dark, and Aden is somehow at the center of it all. But he isn't about to lie down and accept his destiny without a fight. Not when his new friends have his back, not when Victoria has risked her own future to be with him, and not when he has a reason to live for the first time in his life ….

My Review:

The first storyline deals with Aden being officially crowned King of the vampires in two weeks when Vlad funeral ceremony is scheduled.  Many of them aren't happy about this but he slowly earns their respect by proving himself capable of leading them.  He's able to control his powers, make good sensible decisions and possesses some new abilities.

The second storyline deals with Mary-Ann hating being the weakest link so she asks Aden to teach her how to fight and break holds, etc.  Riley isn't happy about this and gets jealous (he definitely shows it) and voices his opinions.  He's the cool guy with the hot looks, sweet, caring and very possessive boyfriend.  Then Mary-Ann has to deal with losing her hunger for human food instead she enjoys draining supernatural creatures of their life forces.

This book had tons of character development with non stop action.  It made me laugh hysterically when Riley turned into his wolf self and interacted with Mary-Ann's father.

3.5/5
