There’s something about the new guy at Crossroads High . . . 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, for as long as he’s with 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. . . doomed. Still, the four will enter a dark underworld of intrigue and danger. . . but not everyone will come out alive. . . ( Goodreads.com)
I read this book twice. I did like the cover and it meant something to the book. This is a Young Adult novel by Gena Showalter. Its a Harlequin teen novel.
I have never read this author before. I think that this is interesting concept with a boy being able to do all these things. He has 3 boys and 1 girl in his mind/body.
Aden is in a boys ranch and has no clue on his parents at all.
Mary Ann is able to stop the voices in Aden head and do think that is interesting that they were born the same day and in the hospital.
Eve--time travel , Caleb--posses people , Julian-- raise the dead , Elijah -- has visions.This is going to be a series from what I could tell at the end of the book.
The story was told in Aden/Mary Ann points of view. I liked Mary Ann and her romance with Riley. I liked that she had the 15 year plan and wanted to be Doctor like her father. I liked the romance and how it slowly grew between them. I was surprised that I was wolf fan in this book.
I liked Aden romance with Victoria but it seemed forced. I didn't really like them at all. I think her being a Vampire princess was a turn off for me. It was interesting that she supposed to marry someone that she didn't like at all.
I didn't like that there was mention of so many things all at once like fairies, witches, goblins. I was losing track who the bad people were.
I do think that Aden is going to lose a friend in each of the book and they are going to help him with the problem at hand and he is going to lose them like he did with Eve. I didn't like ending with Aden and becoming Vampire king and the fight with Dimitri( Victoria fiance')
Cute line : Were my waffles sprinkled with crack ?
I do think its interesting that Caleb knows the witches which leads me to believe that he'll be the focus along with what ever problem they have to solve.
Overall it was an okay book. I really liked the Mary Ann/ Riley romance and wanted more of them and not Aden, but I understand Aden is the Main character and its going to be like Buffy Gang and them all working together.
I bought this book and this is my honest review.
3-Its good for a 1 time read
