review 1: I am writing one review for all three books in this series, Intertwined, Unraveled, and Twisted. Honestly, I fully intended to write a review in between each book, but I couldn’t stop reading them long enough to actually get around to it. I unequivocally loved them! What an absolutely original paranormal world Gena Showalter created. I’ve never read anything like it in the genre, which is saying something considering how many books there are in this genre. I love that we don’t really have a label for what Aden can do. Four souls trapped inside his head, and each one has a different ability that he can use. At first, I didn’t think I’d like the book, but Gena Showalter does a fantastic job of keeping the reader so intrigued that you have to keep reading to find ou... moret what he is, and how the story will be resolved. The action doesn’t stop throughout the three novels. I flipped pages and flipped pages until all of a sudden I was done and looking for the next installment. However, I am glad that I didn’t read this series when it first released because I would have been so upset if I had to wait three years to get the next book. What the hell? You can’t leave us hanging in the last book like that and then wait three years for the new release, that’s just sadistic. Something else I found utterly original was how she told the story. Maybe I just read too many romance novels, but when I noticed the book was narrated from Aden and MaryAnn’s POV, I thought for sure they would end up as a couple. When it became clear they wouldn’t be, I wondered why the author would choose to tell the story that way. All I have to say about that is, be patient, all will become clear by the end. Overall, I am thrilled to find a new series I loved so much with such a diverse range of characters. I recommend this book to people who love Young Adult and Paranormal. It’s one of the best, in my humble opinion.
review 2: No pensé que me iba a gustar tanto. Hace tiempo que un libro no pasaba del "Fue una lectura agradable" este logro superar esto. La sinopsis es muy interesante. No sabia con que me iba a encontrar. Pero decidí leerlo. Al principio me pareció un poco lento. Y pensé que lo de las 4 almas hablando iba ser una enredada y que no iba a quedar tan bien. Por suerte me equivoque ame completamente la idea de las almas. Es una historia muy original sabe meter temas típicos como lobos/vampiros/hadas etc pero con esa cuota de originalidad que lo hace agradable. Me gusta que no hayan cosas predecibles al principio pensas (O pensé) que Aden iba a terminar con Mary y nada que ver. Creo que me gusto eso. Últimamente los libro no sorprenden tanto siempre hay una cosa cliché que la sacas al toque. Acá no. Mary y Aden son solos amigos, nunca hubo nada más. Y fue agradable. Creo que es uno de los primeros libros que leo en donde los protagonistas son solo amigos y no pasaron de eso. ¿Quien dijo que la amistad entre el hombre y la mujer no existe? Luego lo de los poderes esta a mi parecer muy bien hechos. La historia de como se nula los poderes entre ellos y como Aden absorbió a la madre de Mary. Eso fue una gran sorpresa. Lo mejor es que sigue el misterio de como liberar las demás almas. Siento que cuando Aden libere a las almas que quedan estará arrancándose un pedazo de la suya. Son la familia que nunca tuvo. Cuando Eve se fue quedo destruido. Como dije antes lo que más amo que todo te sorprende. Quien iba a pensar que el chico que empezó luchando solo en un cementerio iba a terminar siendo rey de los vampiros. A pesar de las criticas variadas a mi me gusto. Definitivamente voy a seguir con los demás libros. less

Aden Stone has always had many problems: when he walks too close to a cemetery the dead wake up, he hears voices in his head and he has no family.Aden has been shuffled from foster homes to juvie his whole life and he is trying desperately to stay out of trouble and pretend to be normal.Aden has just been shuffled to one more home and his good behavior has been rewarded and he can go to public high school. He is finally achieving his goals.At school he meets someone he thought was impossible -- a person who quiets the voices in his head. He is enthralled and wants to spend as much time with her as he can because he is finally calm. With much hesitation he reveals to her what is happening and so she begins to wonder about her own life and the death of her mother when she was a young girl.This is a great paranormal story: vampires, werewolves, and speakers of spirits ... a great combination and a story I will continue reading.

A little less than 3, but more than 2.75, stars. Many facets of this book are fascinating, but it feels like the author had alllll these ideas and crammed them into one book. It's hard to follow at times, and most of the time I don't particularly worry that I'm not following because it's probably not a piece of information that's going to get me from start to finish. Yep, lots of wandering in the dark forest, literally and figuratively.I did enjoy it, though. I want to know how the trilogy ends.
