Aden Stone isn’t your typical sixteen-year-old. Instead of spending his time playing games on his Xbox 360, he’s dealing with the four souls that share his body. One is a time traveler, one can see the future, one can raise the dead, and one can possess the body of another human. Aden speaks to each of the souls and this has forced Aden to move from foster home to foster home, from one psychiatric home to another. The voices in his head never seem to quiet. Then he meets Mary Ann. Her presence alone brings him the peace and serenity he has craved all his life. While Aden seems to attract the supernatural, Mary Ann suppresses it. This peace doesn’t last long, for Aden’s supernatural “magnetism” has drawn all sorts of creatures in to town, including vampires, shapeshifters, and faeries. Aden and Mary Ann join forces with a shapeshifter and a vampire princess to face impending doom .
Overall, Intertwined was an engaging read. However, I do think it would be better served if it were split into two separate books. There seemed to be so much going on at one time that it got confusing in parts. I think the character development was sacrificed in order to tie everything up into one book. I would have liked to have learned more about the souls residing in Aden’s mind. I did note that a sequel, Unraveled, is scheduled for release in the fall of this year. and I’m hoping readers will learn a bit more about Aden and his souls in the second book. Teens that are fans ofTwilight and other supernatural tales will enjoy Intertwined. Recommended for YA library collections.
