Title: TwistedAuthor: KayCee R
About the book: Cayden Rivers wants nothing more than to be normal, but we don’t always get what we want. For years he has been hiding a secret, afraid of being labeled a “freak”. Every day he goes to school, plays football, spends time with his girlfriend, and helps carry his drunken adopted father to bed. Nobody knows the truth about his unnatural speed and strength, including his life-long friend Camilla.
Suddenly, four strangers enter Cayden’s life, and not only do they know his secret, they also have one of their own. With their help, Cayden discovers there is more to his power, something much more dangerous. Something other people will kill to possess.
Camilla wishes her parents were around more. She gets lonely sleeping in her big empty house night after night. Sure, she has all the money she could ever need, but the only person who is there for her is Cayden. He has his own family and a girlfriend who takes up most of his time, so Camilla knows he won’t be there for her forever, and recently he’s been acting really strange.
Will Cayden be able to keep his secret and his friendship with Camilla, or will his new found power destroy everything, including his own life?
Switching between Cayden and Camilla's point of view, Twisted will leave you aching for more.

My thoughts: I must admit that to me this book started out kind of slow. I nearly put it down as I didn't think I was going to be able to stick with it. But I did and am glad. Once it picked up I became invested in the characters a bit more.
Cayden seemed like a sweetheart, even though I think he was a little dense when it came to his love life. He did seem to mature in other ways during the course of the story though. He went from having to keep the largest part of his life a secret to being able to share it with his family and close friend. Along the way though he finds family he never knew he had as well as discovers new powers. He finds out that he may have enemies because of these powers, so it is even more important to keep them hidden.
I liked the relationship between Cayden and Camilla. The strong friendship and how they are both fighting feelings for each other that run deeper.
Even with the slow start, the book picked up and once rolling along kept up the speed. I would probably pick up the second book in the series as there is still a lot about Cayden and his family that remains a mystery.
