Intertwined by Gena Showalter

Ok, I'm going for my second book review and I had a little trouble deciding which book I was going to use. I decided to go for a book that has a select audience. Lucky, as of late, this audience has grown exponentially, due to the Twilight series. Boys, don't stop reading this because of that line.

This book is similar to the Twilight books, yes, but it is also more manly and does not have a creepy, clingy vampire dude and an obsessive werewolf in it. The book is called Intertwined. In it, an orphan named Aden must deal with not only his life, but the life of four other people, as he has four other souls imprisoned in his body. That is not even the beginning of the weirdness of the book. Each of the these souls has a certain attribute. One can raise the dead. One can tell the future. One can time travel. One can possess other people. Aden has to put up with these voices for his entire life, until he is walking out of a cemetery (after killing a few zombies) and sees a girl who magically makes all the voices go away. She's sort of a medicine for his schizophrenia, except the voices are real and he doesn't swallow the girl. Well anyway, the boy follows her home (stalker right?) and soon talks to her and all that jazz. This is when the book begins to get Twilight-esque. Aden soon enters a world he never knew existed. Sure zombies are one thing, but pretty soon vampires and werewolves begin popping up. Who would have guessed?

However, the story line is pretty solid and it moves rather quickly. I did enjoy reading it. 4 stars out of 5 and a thumb and a pinkie up.
