Like

They

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.
They
share an inexplicable bond. 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.
Together,
they’ll be forced to enter a dark underworld of intrigue and danger... but not
everyone will come out alive.

What I got out of it: (first up review)
This
book, though good confusing to talk about in simple words or maybe it’s too
hard for to think around all the characters while making it simple.
There
a four main characters, Aden, the one spoke about above, is this kid who
lusts - no this is a teen book, so falls
for a beautiful Vampire, who’s protector is a werewolf, who has fallen for Mary
Ann, who is the opposite to Aden and the only person that can make his voice go
away, there’s also a feeling he find for her, though as I’ve always seen it,
right from the start, it’s like a family kind of feeling, like she’s his long
lost sister or something. You know more protecting her because of a sister
thing, then anything else.
And
so it makes it hard, like Riley and Aden threatening each other if they hurt
the person they feel protective over, and yet they both feel protective over
the same two chicks. The feelings for each are just the opposite.
I
really liked this book, more so then I thought I would, it was like her adults’
work, truly beautiful to read, a great story line and a read that hooks you.
Why I
didn’t continue: I just didn’t find myself truly engaged
into the storyline, the characters. It’s just one of those books that you
either love or you leave it alone because it’s not likely to get much better.
I also find, and
this is coming from the fact that I have read a couple of authors who mainly
write adults, high sex, that went into teens and the lust level in their
characters isn’t as high, isn’t as intense where it should have been because I
think they have to mentally pull themselves back, or maybe it’s because they
have kids the age that the characters they are writing and so they write their
time like they see their kids, like they want their kids to be at that time.
Anyway, I could
hardly finish this book; it was the exception that I knew that I was going to throw
it out so I finish the thing, roughly.
That review above, written
without me fully finishing the book, at least not page to page, line to line,
that kind of thing.
