I loved the concept of a character with four human souls living inside his head immediately. And when the book opened on him in a graveyard, accidentally raising the dead and then being forced to decapitate them, I was even more excited.
I was very disappointed to find Aden didn’t fight any more zombies through the book, but I felt the use of his other abilities incredibly interesting.

It’s unfortunate that the premise is so appealing, because, for me, INTERTWINED was an overwritten, confusing, and crowded paranormal mess. Too much was implied and told directly to readers, the characters were unappealing, and the whole thing was just way too long to hold my attention.
Showalter has the unfortunate penchant of telling, not showing, and making her characters take agonizingly slow paragraphs to undergo a simple thinking process. Any story that relies heavily on the mai More...

Okay, I am so glad I have a rule of finishing the books that I start. The beginning of this book is totalcrap, no joke. But then I just couldn't put it down!! The plot got more and more interesting, and when I realized that Mary Ann and Aden weren't gonna fall in love, I was like

I enjoyed this book and have only one real complaint. When a book is the start of a new series, it would be nice to know that going in, maybe put a line on the cover, first book in the exciting new series, etc.
That being said and a little disappointed that I have to wait until the next book to find out what happens next, I found this book a fun read with lots, and I mean lots, of surprises.

Intertwined was the ultimate paranormal fantasy! A little bit of this a little bit of that. I'm a huge fan of Gena's adult novels, so it was easy to loose myself in her writing, since I'm so familiar with it. It was reassuring to know that I would be entertained. And was I ever.
There is a lot happening in this book, it extends way beyond Aden. Some people might see that as a bad thing, but I really enjoyed it, reveled in it really. I had no idea what was going to happen next. I did f More...

Intertwined is the second book to be released from the new Harlequin Teen line. What drew me to this story was that Aden has four souls living within him. Something I hadn't come across before. I knew his story had to be very interesting.
What at first seems to be a boy meets girl type of story, really it is so much more. Especially when a vampire and werewolf are thrown into the mix. Intertwined was an exciting, fresh new world to delve into. And of course not to be missed is the won More...

I give it five stars for an interesting concept, three stars for keeping me reading until the end, and one star for how the story actually played out. So overall, I will give it two stars because it wasn't hard to finish and I was mildly entertained. I think ultimately there is just so much going on in this book. Raising the dead, seeing the future, time travel, body possession, werewolves, vampires, demons, goblins, witches, fairies, family issues, seeing ghosts, helping said ghosts cross over

I'm not going to go through what the book was about. If you have two hands (really hope you do) then you can go read the description yourself! Anyway, I'm going to get right into my review.
The book starts when Aden walks into a grave yard by accident and Julian (one of the souls living inside his head) raises many zombies from the dead. Aden must fight the zombies in order to live.

I am so glad Gena Showalter has ventured into the paranormal YA genre! This one has a very interesting premise: Aden, who is 16 years old, has had 4 souls residing in him since for as long as he can remember. His parents didn't know how to handle a kid who talked to people noone could see, so he has been in and out of psychiatric care for most of his life, as well as foster homes. He is currently living at a ranch with other troubled teens that is run by an ex-football player, Dan.

If there is anyone who could use a few minutes by himself, it's Aden Stone. Except he's never alone. Aden has four souls living in his brain. They've been there as long as he can remember. None of them know how they got there.
Unfortunately, while the souls can speak inside Aden's mind, Aden can only communicate with them by speaking out loud and this leads to everyone physically around him thinking that he's completely insane.

Oh My Gosh this book is jam packed full, over the rim, and overflowing with everything you could ever imagine or desire in a paranormal story! I was flipping pages like crazy and never wanting the story to end. From the first couple of pages the reader is taken on a joyride with Aden and his voices as he encounters zombies, bullies, weres, vampires, and all other things he never knew existed.

Jetzt, wo ich es endlich fertig gelesen habe, weiß ich es besser. Pustekuchen. Am Ende musste ich mir wirklich die Frage stellen: Was bitteschön, war das denn?

For that reason more than anything else, he has been passed around between institutions, psychologist and halfway houses his entire life. Aden, the sixteen year old isn’t really sick. On the contrary, Aden has four souls trapped inside of him and they keep up a steady torrent of chatter in his head!

La novela comienza presentándonos a Aden Stone, el chico que tiene cuatro almas atrapadas en su interior. El protagonista es un chico, algo que me encantó porque no es muy común en este tipo de obras y ,por una vez, es estupendo ver cómo se comporta y qué piensa y siente un chico en estas situaciones. Me ha parecido muy interesante y original este punto de vista.

Spoiler Alert: I never finished. So I can't quite give you one.
While the plot seems interesting enough, and the main character Aden is charming (if not a wee bit whiny), I just couldn't push myself through it. The first few chapters didn't give me enough hook.

Gena Showalters, Intertwined has one of the most unique ideas in the budding YA Paranormal genre. The backstory is so inventive and creative it really drew me in, made me want more.
Aden Stone is a human, but not a “normal” human. Trapped inside him are four souls, all with supernatural powers. Eve can travel in time, Julian can raise the dead, Elijah can tell the future, and Caleb can possess another being. Throw into that mix a young girl named Mary Ann who makes the voices go awa More...

This is book is a rather awkward book. Like many people said, there are way too many arcs or different plot lines going on at once. It's similar to a manga book in words. One situation happens in one chapter and is solved in a few chapters, then another problem occurs. Usually in novels, there is one roller coaster, but this book had at least five!!!!
I liked Aden a lot. He's kind, weird and very caring for those he loves. Besides, the situations he runs into are very violent. Mary Ann More...

This book is not well-written, I'm sorry. It's not even that I think the author is a bad writer; it feels like she's forcing herself to dumb everything down, to satisfy some ditzy, paranormal-romance-obsessed teenage girls. And I feel like she can do a lot better, but she's tried to thrown everything currently "in" about YA Lit into one mess of faeries, werewolves, vampires, zombies, possessed souls, and time-travel. There is so much going on here, and yet so little substance. I ga

While I truly enjoyed this authors adult ficion books I was taken aback by how difficult it was for me to begin this tale. Young adult fiction, especially that of the paranormal variety is a passion of mine and holds a special place in my heart. The majority of authors who choose to take on this genre have a daunting task ahead of them: to write stories and create characters that are easy to love despite their adolescent flaws. These characters usually cause a deep emotional attachment when crea

Aden Stone has four other people constantly talking to him inside his head. Not only are the souls noisy in his head, but each one of them has a special ability as well, causing unexplainable events to happen. It's no wonder people always think he is crazy. Heck, I know I would have gone insane after just one day without some peace and quiet. Throughout his life he has been passed from one place to another, including mental institutions and even juvie.
