Publisher Description
Like most teens, Aden Stone has friends.
They just happen to be the four human souls living inside him. One can time travel; one can raise the dead; one can possess other bodies; one can foretell the future– and has even predicted his death.
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. He's so over it. All he wants is peace. And then he meets a girl who quiets the voices.
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.
Together, they'll be forced to enter a dark underworld of intrigue and danger . . . but not everyone will come out alive.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Supernatural forces of all kinds collide in this overcrowded offering from Showalter (Blacklisted), who chronicles the adventures of two unlikely couples. Aden Stone, 16, has been in and out of mental institutions and group homes all his life, thanks to the four disembodied souls inside his head. Each grants him a separate power "Julian... woke the dead, and Elijah could predict the death of anyone who passed him" but their constant presence makes it hard for Aden to blend in. Mary Ann Gray has the ability to negate powers, granting Aden internal peace for the first time. Shortly after they become friends, Aden falls for a vampire princess while Mary Ann romances a werewolf. Their newfound relationships are promptly tested when witches, faeries, demons and more come to town in search of an unexpected source of power. Toss in some shambling undead, ghosts with unresolved issues and a vampiric struggle for dominance, and all that's missing is the (haunted) kitchen sink. However, strong characterization, believable romantic interplay and a fast-paced plot do a lot to redeem this story, as does an underlying sense of mystery. Ages 14 up.
