Twisted by Gena Showalter

Idiot! They are all a bunch of idiots. Not the author, of course, but the characters. And they are not dumb idiots, just idiots that need a good “pimp slap” to knock some sense into them.

                

 Twisted continues where Unraveled left off. Not wanting to give away spoilers I’m just going to skip straight to the characters.

Aden- hot and sexy (Victoria’s words not mine completely :D) human thing, who is an orphan. Has a girlfriend who is a vampire princess. He used to have 4 different souls in his head, not including his own, but now he has 3. Did I mention that he is a vampire king with an army of shifters, of the werewolf sense, and vampires, with living demon inside him that he can control? He also very much loved his girlfriend

“He’d rather meet her, and deal with this, but he wouldn’t. And that was love”

Victoria- The vampire princess who is dating the vampire king. She’s strong, independent and becoming more human every day. And she’s “adapting” to having living with the consequences of saving Aden’s life. A new development is that she’s switching her inner demon with something of Aden’s. I will leave you to guess that something.

Riley- God, I love and hate this sexy werewolf protector, who is sometimes boyfriend, sometimes not boyfriend to Mary Ann. He loves with a protected heart. His best friend is Victoria; he is also her protector. On an interesting note Victoria and him have a HIDDEN SECRET. That is so JUICY and almost destructive to any readers who are sensitive to the books, like me.

“Laughing, he stood and blew her a kiss.”

Let us not forget the fact that he is sooo in love with Mary Ann. Mary Ann and Riley are SO CUTE together. If you ever thought that it should have been Riley and Victoria, Mary Ann and Aden, or Mary Ann and Tucker… you bring shame upon your family.

Mary Ann- She is sweet, independent, and currently running from all supernatural creatures because they all want to kill her. She is a drainer (and if you don’t know what that is then you need to reread the past two books) and she has changed A LOT. For better or worse, is for you to decide. Honestly, I think she is mush cooler now. She makes Riley work to spend time with her and he is nothing but cute while he is going it *sigh*. Plus, she  keeping familiar company.

Now let us all reflect over that fact that almost everyone is getting marks all over the place. Aden, Riley, Victoria, Mary Ann, and Tucker (oops :D)

Aden and Victoria’s relationship heat up as they battle a new enemy and a whole mess of new challenges. Riley and Mary Ann’s relationship continues on their roller coaster but we wouldn’t have them any other way.

Gena Showalter doesn’t give you a second to waste as you turn page after page in the third and hopefully not lost book in the Intertwined series.

The action in this novel is at medium speed but the book leaves you with no dull moment. As you travel from Aden’s point of view to Victoria’s, Riley’s, Mary Ann’s, and even Tucker’s. New characters and old characters return with new details.

The end of the book brought tears to my eyes. It was then that I realized that this might really be the last book. But then I got upset, angry, to be honest I was down right furious. Who makes a story this good, then leaves a cliff hanger like this, on the LAST BOOK. It’s rude, unconstitutional, I’m almost sure it’s breaking at least one amendment and it’s PURE GENIUS.

Thank you, Gena Showalter and HarlequinTEEN for giving me this gift. *sigh*

It’s a MUST read, steal, capture, kidnap, or whatever. This book has a life of its own. At  one point while reading this book, the pages just starting turning themselves.

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

Perfect Chemistry Review

My, My, My, I’ve always loved a guy with ink and a motorcycle. Add in the fact that he can speak a different language and make your world flip upside down. Call the local graveyard because they are going to have to dig a hole for me.

The main male is a hot Mexican gangster. And he describes himself as just that. He is a lean mean punching machine that loves a good challenge. His name is Alex and he is AMAZING.

His leading lady in this beautiful book, that should be turned into a movie because I’d watch it, is Brittany. Brittany is all around Miss. Popular. She has the hair, the clothes, the boyfriend, and the COMPLICATED home life. In Brittany’s case her complicated home life consist of a dad who is never home (fact), a sister with a disability (fact), and her crazy mother (opinion but can be prove)

But don’t get me wrong, Alex’s life is anything but easy. Alex is the eldest man in the house so it his responsibility to take care of his family. Rather it means getting a job while he is still in school or joining the local gang so his brothers don’t have to. He is a proud Mexican and he will make sure you know it. Love, is a world Alex uses only for his family… that is until he met Brittany

A meeting of our two characters (expert from book)

“If you were a real, man you’d open the door for me instead of blocking my way,” I say admiring my own comeback even as my knees threaten to buckle.

Alex steps, back pulls the door open, and bows like he’s my butler. He’s totally mocking me, he knows it and I know it. Everyone knows it. I catch a glimpse of Sierra, still desperately searching for nothing in her pursue. She’s clueless.

“Get a life,” I tell him

“Like yours? Cabrona, let me tell you somethin’,” Alex says harshly. “Your life isn’t reality, its fake. Just like you.”

“It’s better than living my life as a loser,” I lash out, hoping my words sting as much as his words did. “Just like you.”

Grabbing Sierra’s arm, I pulled her toward the open door. Catcalls and comments follow us as we walk into the school.

That my friends… is love at first bite.

This story is fun and exciting especially when the two characters are together. Just from this expert you can tell that when Alex and Brittany are together things HEAT UP. The story is told through the point of view of both Brittany and Alex.

Brittany and Alex are from two different words in the same part of the galaxy. They have more things in common than they do different. One of those things being that they would do anything to protect the ones they love. So when their paths cross because of a project in their chemistry class… events start to come to play. Then when they both fall in love with each other their protective instincts kick in.  During their journey of falling in love, it is not a surprise that this book gets IN-TRES-TING to the MAX FAST. Join Alex and Brittany in their battle of love, commitment, honor, family, friends, exes, and more in the novel Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkele.

PS: Alex sometimes talks Spanish, so you may want to have a translator nearby.

RATING	2-Cents
PG-13	Seriously someone should start signing some contracts and writing some scripts. This could be the IT MOVIE of the week or year. For mature readers.
A+	it’s better than never having to eat vegetables again X the last number in the Universe
5 carts	My emotions went through so many drops, turns, and loops; I can’t see straight.
5 eyes	Back and front covers are soooo eye catching. I means a dark room and two teens so close to kissing that grabs everyone attention. Just to ask WHY?
5 hearts	For it’s cute and mature romance that had me laughing and crying at the same time. I also screamed and threw that book a few times. (I get overly emotional with books. You shall learn to love me for it)
5 stars	OVERALL  AWESOMENESS

More quotes from the book:

What’s the prayer you’re supposed to say right before you know you’re going to die

Brittany: “Was I happy with Alex?”

Sierra: “Obsessed is more like it. But yeah, I saw you happy. Happier than you’ve been in a really, really long time. With someone you like that much, the lows are as low as the highs are high. Does that make sense?”

Brittany: “It does. It also makes me sound bipolar.”

Sierra: “Love will do that to a person”
