Twisted (Intertwined, #3)

by Gena Showalter

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?

This book turned dark. Aden is now cold and seems rather heartless for half the book. Victoria is now physically and emotionally weak. Not to mention the turns Riley and Mary Ann take. Hopefully the next book in the series puts the characters on a more positive path.

I seriously think that this book has ruined this series for me. I loved Intertwined when I first read it, I didn't love Unraveled as much because of how it ended. But I really just didn't like the direction this book has taken with the characters.

Aden was so up and down in his personality and no-one was even questioning it. I mean, one minute he was the nice guy he was before, next he was practically a cold blooded murderer and just wanted to go to war with the other races. Did I just miss the explanation for this in the book?
I also would have thought that everybody would have been a little more concerned about Victoria turning into a human? I realize that in this series it's probably not going to be this way, but in most other movies/books where vampires have lost their powers they usually instantly age to how old they actually are. So I just would have thought that it was a little more worrying.

Anyway, I don't mean to be trashing this book or anything, some people may like the direction that they story has taken, but it was not for me. So I am not sure if I will be wanting to read the next book.
