Aden Stone is a teen with some unusual abilities, not only is he a magnet for the dead; he also happens to have 3 souls trapped inside of him. Aden hasnt belonged anywhere before, but now he is living at a ranch for troubled teens, and finally making a home for himself. He has good friends, a few with their own supernatural abilities and he is currently dating a Vampire princess.
In this, the second book in the series, all sorts of poo is hitting the fan. The Vampire King has been killed, Aden, essentially a human, has been named the new king and just about every Supernatural creature you ever heard of is invading Crossroads, OK. Aden and his pals have their hands full with curses, potential wars, and discovering new gifts within themselves.
I know these books are written for the younger crowd, but I adore them! I am such a big fan of Gena Showalters imagination that were I not so mentally stable, Id probably be camped out on her lawn and/or stalking her through her town wearing a #1 fan getup and trying to pick her brain about her next story.
I would definitely recommend reading the books in order as the storyline is a bit complex and there are a lot of characters and creatures to meet. It had been a while since I had read the first one and I was a little foggy on a few things. Thankfully Ms. Showalter has a glossary in back to help us forgetful folk out. This isnt for the younger teens; I would recommend age 16 and up. There are some make-out moments I wouldnt want my 13 year old niece to read.
There are so many scenes in this book that tugged at my heart and made me smile. I love where this series has taken me so far and I am dying to find out where it leads to next. Its a magical and memorable, and every page exciting. This is a completely addicting series, and I am so mad I have to wait 10 months to get my hands on the next book. Its making me twitchy!
