Format: Book
Most sixteen-year-olds have friends. Aden Stone has four human souls living inside him:
One can time-travel.
One can raise the dead.
One can tell the future.
And one can possess another human.
With no other family and a life spent in and out of institutions, Aden and the souls have become friends. But now they're causing him all kinds of trouble. Like, he'll blink and suddenly he's a younger Aden, reliving the past. One wrong move, and he'll change the future. Or he'll walk past a total stranger and know how and when she's going to die.
He's so over it. All he wants is peace.
And then he meets a girl who quiets the voices. Well, as long as he's near her. Why? Mary Ann Gray is his total opposite. He's a loner; she has friends. He doesn't care what anyone thinks; she tries to make everyone happy. And while he attracts the paranormal, she repels it. For her sake, he should stay away. But it's too late....
Somehow, they share an inexplicable bond of friendship. A bond about to be tested by a werewolf shape-shifter who wants Mary Ann for his own, and a vampire princess Aden can't resist.
Two romances, both forbidden. Still, the four will enter a dark underworld of intrigue and danger but not everyone will come out alive...
I will admit, when I first picked up this book I was a little skeptical. I'm over vampires. I've read way too many books lately that have dealt with vampires. But from the first page, I was hooked on this book. I couldn't put it down. The sub-plots with the vampire princess and the werewolf were interesting, but there was so much in the relationship between Mary Ann and Aden. I loved those two characters from the first moment I met them and I wanted to know how it was that Mary Ann could silence the voices.
All in all, this was a very good book. There were many unnecessary plot-lines and characters, but overall it was very interesting. Read it for Aden and Mary Ann. Not for the vampire princess and werewolf.
