    Aden Stone is a sixteen-year-old boy with four souls living inside his body.
    One can time travel, one can raise the dead, one can tell the future, and one can possess another human being.
    He has spent most of his life in and out of institutions, never really making friends. He doesn't like having the souls
    sharing his body. A lot of problems have been caused due to Aden not being able to control the powers that the
    souls have.
    Aden soon gets sent to a ranch for troubled boys, and his first week there he meets a girl, Mary Ann. Mary Ann is
    the exact opposite of Aden. She has friends and he spends most of his time alone. Being around Mary Ann quiets
    the voices.
    They form a bond of friendship that neither really understands. She meets a werewolf shape-shifter and he meets a
    vampire princess. Two forbidden romances begin amidst the dangerous lives that the friends have found.
    INTERTWINED contains beautifully written characters that keep you entranced from page one. I simply could not
    put this book down until the very end. Gena Showalter's characters are an engaging and exciting group that, when
    woven together, form a beautiful tapestry that adults and teens alike will enjoy.
    If this is just the beginning of Harlequin's new teen line, then we the readers will definitely not be disappointed. We
    have much to look forward to!
