Description

In a world where the line between life and death blurs, a man finds himself resurrected by the love of a vampire. Although granted a second chance, he is plagued by an overwhelming sense of chaos that shakes the very foundations of his existence. As he navigates this new reality, he grapples with the unsettling sensations coursing through him, lingering fears, and the question of what it truly means to live.

His girlfriend, whose dark allure initially captivated him, now presents both a blessing and a curse, silently holding the key to his tumultuous emotions. The bond they share is intense and passionate, yet she embodies the unpredictability of her supernatural nature. This relationship stands on shifting sands, complicating his struggle for control over his own life.

Friends become wary, and his interactions with the human world grow increasingly strained. With each confrontation, he realizes that returning to his previous life is not the only challenge he faces; learning to accept the intricacies of his new reality is equally daunting. He must decide whether to embrace the dangerous power swirling within him or seek a way to suppress it.

As the tale unfolds, he finds his trust tested and his loyalties challenged. Danger lurks in the shadows, and unraveling the mysteries of his own resurrection becomes crucial. Faced with intense emotional battles and external threats, he must confront his fears and discover whether love can ultimately lead him from darkness to light.

My opinion about this book is much like that of [b:Unraveled|6197703|Unraveled|Jaci Burton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233717867s/6197703.jpg|6378148]. It had good points and low points, and it seems like a book I would hate, but for some reason I actually liked it. I wish you could give 2.5 star, a completely neutral rating, because that's what I would give this book.*Some light spoilers follow*In my review for [b:Unraveled|6197703|Unraveled|Jaci Burton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233717867s/6197703.jpg|6378148] I said that I hate Mary Ann. Well, in this book I love her! In Twisted she actually does stuff for herself, instead of letting Riley, Victoria, and even Aden do everything for her while she tags along with no real purpose. (Really, why is she even there most the time?) So her character has gotten much better, as has Victoria's.I've always liked Victoria. She's been the kind of character that there's not really much depth, but what is there is interesting. In Twisted she gets much deeper, and you get to see a new side of her. She's much more caring and she has more personality. [spoiler]Having her turn into a human was definitely the right thing to do.[/spoiler][spoiler]Riley turns into an a-hole in this one. After he begs Mary Ann to drain him and she does this almost subconsciously, his wolf is gone. He can no longer shift and his wolf senses are dimmed. If this Mary Ann's fault? No. Does that stop Riley from treating her like crap? No again. He acts like she did it on purpose just to spite him! If he hadn't been encouraging her, and if she wasn't almost unconscious and not even aware of what she was doing, she would never hurt him to save her life.[/spoiler]The writing was very questionable. I haven't read the first book in a while, but it seems like it went downhill. Maybe I'm remembering wrong and my standards have gone up, but it seems like [b:Intertwined|6344423|Intertwined (Intertwined, #1)|Gena Showalter|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1290548409s/6344423.jpg|6530623] had much better quality. You know how when some authors write both adult and YA books, the YA books always seem over-the-top teenager with not that good quality writing. I've noticed this about [a:James Patterson|3780|James Patterson|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1284492096p2/3780.jpg] and after Twisted it's become clear for [a:Gena Showalter|48192|Gena Showalter|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1289112836p2/48192.jpg], too. Hint: I don't want to read something as if I'm talking to my friends when I'm slap happy. I want to read a professional piece of literature that's been edited and published. I don't want to read the word "freakin" every five seconds. I don't want anything outside of the dialogue to sound as if it's a sixteen-year-old's first draft.As far as plot goes, Twisted had a very strong one. It was much better than Unraveled, which was so non-existent that I don't even remember what they were trying to accomplish the whole book, other than the usually "get the souls out of Aden's head" thing.
