Twisted

What an aptly named disappointment. If you're looking for a continuation of all the wonderful things happening in the first two installments of this series, than be prepared to get nowhere fast.

Normally I write a brief summary of the book and then an evaluation but I am truly at a loss for a real concrete storyline. Yeah Aden got somewhere with the souls in his head but Showalter spent a majority of the book on Aden's new alter ego and complete character reversals for our two main couples. Everyone changed so drastically so fast that I found myself wondering who are these people and where did the wonderful characters I loved so much go?

When I first picked up Intertwined I was blown away, I mean vampires, werewolves, witches, necromancy, a couple of interesting wildcard paranormals and two love stories, this book has everything I love about the genre. I invested in this intriguing story and got involved with these characters. I looked forward to the continuation of these books every long year. And now I feel like the author just trashed everything I invested in.

I think Gena Showalter is the truly twisted one here. To wait a year for a book that makes me think even the author wasn't happy with the direction so she went completely insane with the characters, extra light on the storyline, and destroyed everything just so she could have a do over.

This book is about 98% filler. I get the idea of Twisted, but with a weak storyline and without the anchor of the characters and romances the fans have grown to like it became muddled and confusing at times. Showalter let go of everything all at once so it was hard to hold on to the bits and pieces I came back for. Just when I find a familiar character or relationship, it's pulled out from under me and I'm left flailing for some point of interest. Twisted was executed poorly and was an unnervingly drastic change from the previous books. I wish the author would have just kept the important parts, left out the weird character developments, and moved on with the story.

As for the audiobook version I was really confused because the main lead character is a guy but the narrator for some reason is a girl. She didn't have any range either. I think this is one series that would benefit from a duo male/female narrating combo.

Many people thought this was going to be a trilogy but Gena has said on her web page that there will be a 4th book to this series that WILL finally tie everything together and I CAN NOT WAIT!

This series is a non stop making you guess, wondering, trying to figure out whats going to happen next. Well give up, this is the first series I have never been able to predict one thing that was going to happen and because of that it keeps you hanging on for more and more. Granted the first couple of chapters of each book is kinda hard to get into for either introuducing you to the story or catching you up from other books in the series....but once you get past that point its all out action!

I have read a lot of reviews for this series and I wonder if we read the same book? The only down side to the 3rd book was she repeated 3 times the descriptions of Reily's brothers, im thinking she forgot that she had already said it as there is so much of a story line.

I enjoyed this series and I think you will too if you like books with unknown elements and the paranormal. You have vampires, withches, goblins, shapesifters, ghost and many other things!

This book made me feel like I had wasted my time and money. The title pretty much says it all. .This is the last of the trilogy (if there's more I'm, not buying any) and I found it disappointing to the max. I know if you read the other two books you'll most likely have to see for yourself. Don't say you weren't warned! Maybe you'll think the author is clever. I thought it was a cop out, but that's just me.

I really loved the book but I really really hope this isn't the last one.

I would have really enjoyed hearing what happened next after this but there is no next so this is pretty disappointing

do not waste you time on this. Turn back now and look up what happens to the book series you will thank me.
