VBT# Twist - Roni Teson


 

Review: Twist - Roni Teson - March 2014

Starring at the cover, you would think that this was an Adult novel but it is in fact a Teen Book and just like the title assumes this book is filled with lots of twists and that isn't exaggerating either.  This novel starts off relatively normal with Bea living with her aunty and uncle after what we can assume was a tragedy that happened forcing her to try and move on with her life with her Aunt and Uncle. Then we learn that Bea's father is currently wanted by the FBI and it has something to do with her mother's death.  Bea then starts school and meets Lucas Davenport, these two are drawn together and have a romantic fling though it is short-lived with Lucas ends up half-dead and lying in a hospital bed and somehow it seems that this might be due to Bea's father and the case the FBI are putting together. Bea then flies down to stay with her best friend in Seattle and for a brief moment sees her Dad and he tells her not to "trust anyone". Then the story starts to get weird as Lucas has amnesia and hates the name Lucas and wants to be called Louie, then it is discovered that maybe Bea's mum is still alive and that the funeral was faked and that her father really isn't in trouble but is trying to save her life as she has the disease just like her mother does or at least did . About 3/4 the way through the novel, Twist does get really confusing and as I say alot of twists and turns start developing and readers, you will have to sort out for your own as to which is reality and which is fantasy and reading the book and from my own experiences with it, I am guessing that this is one of those books that everyone will have a different outcome in the end to which was real and what was fake.
Twist was a mixture between a Teen Fiction with Edgy Content meets Mystery Suspense with a weird element of not exactly Sci-Fi but that feel of something not adding up and government involvement - think Men In Black films.
 Anyway, Twist is one of those books readers, that you will either love or hate.
