Twisted By Gena Showalter



Anyone who's read my posts KNOWS I love Gena's work, but this left me really disappointed.
It's one of those books where a lot happens, and then- poof! No, there is no happy ending, yes you just spent 4 hours of your life to find out that everything goes to crap. Hopefully there's another book and it comes out quick, but damn, this one really broke my heart. The story, all in all, is very action packed, with a few steamy hot moments and some funny banter, but the amount of depressing material, in my opinion, is overwhelming. Aden, Riley, Mary Ann, they all lose something that made their lives seem... Almost bearable. And to be honest, this book just left me very, very sad. 
Rating: 6.5/10
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?
