Unraveled(Intertwined, Book 2)Author: Gena ShowalterPublisher: Harlequin, 2010
Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life. Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King—while still a human! Well, kind of.
With four—oops, three now—human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been "different" himself. These souls can time-travel, raise the dead, possess another's mind and, his least favorite these days, tell the future.
The forecast for Aden? A knife through the heart.
Because a war is brewing between the creatures of the dark, and Aden is somehow at the center of it all. But he isn't about to lie down and accept his destiny without a fight. Not when his new friends have his back, not when Victoria has risked her own future to be with him, and not when he has a reason to live for the first time in his life….
My Review:
With the Witches deadline looming in close, Aden and his friends need to find out where the council will be held or else they will all die. But witches are just one of their problems; Faeries keep attacking Aden wanting to find out more about his power, past demons come to haunt them, and something in the vampire’s crypt is stirring!
Aden has already seen his ultimate death, but what he didn’t foresee was the other deaths he is having to experience on an almost daily basis. What’s more, he has to please the vampire council by accepting to go on dates with their choices for the next vampire queen. What will Victoria think!?
Victoria is happy enough about Aden’s new position in vampire society, but that doesn’t mean she likes what that position entails. Victoria ultimately loses control, expressing her bottled up emotions, and showing her monstrous secret.
Mary Ann has insecurities about her relationship with Riley, but that is the least of her problems. She’ll discover that suppressing Adens power is not all she can do. She doesn’t want to be useless though, and quickly asks the boys to teach her how to fight. She’ll put their lessons to use earlier than she thought.
Riley and his brothers are doing their best to protect Aden and Mary Ann. But what happens when they need to protect themselves against one of their charges.?
I liked that this book had a faster pace than the first one. It has a lot of surprises, and it put the characters through lot of trouble and grief. It definitely left me wanting the next book in this series. Luckily Twisted comes out this August 30th!
Favorite Quote:
“Now Victoria blinked over at her. ‘Are you saying I’m...depressing?’
‘Will you want to rip out my trachea if I am?’”
~
“Mary Ann secretly called the ability ‘Voice Voodoo’ and nearly peed her pants in fear every time she thought about it. Stripping in public just because a vampire told her to? Yeah, it could happen.”
~
“But allow Riley to boss him around? Multiply ‘hell no’ by ‘dream on’ and divide by ‘suck it,’ and the answer was ‘the wolf could bite the big one.’”
