Unraveled (Intertwined, #2)

by Gena Showalter

Unraveled is a book that I both loved and hated at the same time. I find myself drawn to the character Aden, a boy with three souls trapped in his head - an interesting concept. Then you have Victoria the vampire and Riley the werewolf. The both seemed rather cliched yet with interesting twists. To finish things off you have Mary Ann - the drainer, a character I found myself rooting for throughout the series.

While the characters in the book were likable, I found their relationships very... teenager-ish. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of chemistry that matches the characters together, they just are. It just seems rather unbelievable that they've been together for a few weeks and progressed to the I-love-you-and-can't-live-without-you-even-for-a-second stage.

I also feel a bit of paranormal overload. It seems like different creatures are just being tossed in the book just because. It also seems to drag in places.

Despite all the flaws, I found this book myself glued to this book. Showalter is a very talented author and I haven't read a book of hers that I haven't enjoyed. I look forward to seeing the story progress in the next novel.
