Most sixteen-year-olds have friends. Aden Stone has four human souls inside him: One can time-travel. One can raise the dead. One can tell the future. And one can possess another human.

With no 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. Or he'll walk past a total stranger and know how 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. Why? Mary Ann Gray is his total opposite. For her sake, he should stay away. But it's too late....

Somehow, they share an inexplicable friendship. A bond about to be tested by a werewolf who wants Mary Ann, 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....

Review

A vampire-werewolf book. Again. With a schizophrenia boy as a male character. You think vampire and werewolf story has ended, don’t you? Nope. Everything can happen. Not just the two ancient enemies, there are gblins, fairis and witches, too.you can find them all in this one book (yeah, I’m like commercial break on TV).

I don’t get the story. It is running in circle. A boy who has four souls trapped inside his head – schizophrenic?, a vampire princess, a werewolf guard and a normal teenage girl. Its topic is too wide.

In every book, there is always one charming (attractive) character to one spesific reader. To me, that is Riley. I don’t know how I can stuck to non-main protagonist. On most book or story I always drawn to non-main protagonist. The friend of the main character, the family or even the bad guy. Riley is fascinating. Handsome, cool, wild and a shapeshifter. But I don’t like it when Riley drawn to Mary Ann and Victoria to Aden. It doesn’t make sense it happened so simple. I need more reasons to see it as logical thing. Nevermind, just enjoy the story. Don’t think too much.
