YA Review: Twisted (Harlequin Teen) [Hardcover]


I've finished "Twisted" the 3rd book in her Aden Stone series by Gena Showalter.

Product Description

Sixteen-year-old Aden Stone has had a hell of a week. He's been:

Tortured by angry witches. Hypnotized by a vengeful fairy. Spied on by the most powerful vampire in existence. And, oh, yeah, killed — twice.

His vampire girlfriend might have brought him back to life, but he's never felt more out of control. There's a darkness within him, something taking over … changing him. Worse, because he was meant to die, death now stalks him at every turn. Any day could be his last.

Once upon a time, the three souls trapped inside his head could have helped him. He could have protected himself. But as the darkness grows stronger, the souls grow weaker — just like his girlfriend. The more vampire Aden becomes, the more human Victoria becomes, until everything they know and love is threatened.

Life couldn't get any worse. Could it?

My Review:

At the end of Unraveled Tucker stabbed Aden and the aftermath of that situation.  This book opens with Aden and Victoria fighting for their lives to survive and not kill each other.  They each take turns feeding off each other and when they finally gain control of themselves they have switched personalities and powers.  Aden is the big bad vampire and Victoria is the helpless human.

Mary Ann has run away thinking she could protect everyone she loves but she doesn't know she has fairies and witches after her.  Riley goes after her and with the help of Tucker they manage to lessen the enemies.  To really save Mary Ann Riley makes a huge decision which causes a major situation for Mary Ann.

At times I found it hard to watch Aden struggle with his vampire instincts because I wasn't sure if he was going to hurt Victoria in some scenes or not.  He says he would never hurt her - but you never know.  I really felt for him when he found out who his dad really was - he was a real jerk.

I really feel for Victoria because she is so helpless now when she really wants to help Aden - glad her brother is helping him.

It was heartbreaking what happened to Mary Ann at the end of the book and also to Riley.  Glad Tucker storyline is finally finished never really liked him.

4/5
