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. . .

my thoughts:

Intertwined is my first ever book by Gena Showalter. It’s also my first Harlequin Teen novel. If they are anything like this one, I look forward to reading the rest of the books, both by Gena Showalter and from Harlequin Teen. This one was just the best and it definitely left me wanting more. 
Intertwined is full of paranormal creatures. Talking souls, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, witches, and everything in between. At first, I thought it was a little too much but as I read on I learned how they all fit in the book and it got better. Aden and his four souls were the best. Aden seemed kind of sad and lonely but he always had his souls to keep him company and they were so great. They all had different personalities and they all drove Aden insane. It was quite funny! Oh and Mary Ann was really sweet. She seemed like she was kind of uptight and nerdy but she grew up some throughout the book.
There was a little bit of everything in Intertwined. There was a ton of romance and some pretty gory fight scenes. It all just made the book perfect for me and I really can’t wait for the sequel. The ending was such a cliffhanger and waiting until next year for more is going to be super hard.
