Intertwined Books in Order

Intertwined is a young adult paranormal series about Aden Stone, a sixteen-year-old whose mind is shared by four other souls. Gena Showalter gives each soul a different ability, making Aden powerful without giving him dependable control over his life. He can become involved in time travel, raising the dead, possessing bodies, and seeing the future. What other people interpret as disturbing behavior is often a response to forces they cannot see. His attempts to appear ordinary therefore begin from a disadvantage that has followed him through institutions and group homes.

When the series opens, Aden is living in a halfway house in Crossroads, Oklahoma. He wants some measure of normality, but the souls’ constant presence makes that difficult. A meeting with Mary Ann Gray offers something he has not known before: her ability to cancel supernatural powers quiets the voices in his head. Their connection becomes an important friendship, built around relief and recognition rather than a straightforward romantic attraction. For Aden, simply being near someone who changes his experience of the world is significant.

Peace turns out to attract new dangers.

The combination of Aden’s powers and Mary Ann’s ability draws the attention of supernatural beings. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures have reasons to seek them out, and not all of those reasons are friendly. Aden meets Victoria, a vampire princess, while Mary Ann becomes close to Riley, Victoria’s werewolf bodyguard. The four teenagers form a group whose personal attachments develop within a much wider struggle over power. A friendship that initially seems to offer refuge instead becomes part of a conflict that reaches beyond their own lives.

The series mixes supernatural action with questions about trust and identity. Aden has to distinguish the people who care about him from those who want access to his abilities. Mary Ann’s apparent lack of conventional power can itself become an extraordinary advantage. Their romances also cross boundaries between human life and supernatural communities, introducing loyalties and risks that do not disappear when affection is genuine. The souls inside Aden make the problem still more personal: even his private thoughts and decisions occur in company, so independence is never something he can simply assume.

Begin with Intertwined, then continue with Unraveled and Twisted. The books follow the same central characters and developing supernatural conflicts, so reading them sequentially gives the relationships and dangers their context. The tone is young adult paranormal romance with action, unsettling abilities, and a cast drawn from several kinds of supernatural lore. Readers interested in a hero who is misunderstood before anyone recognizes his power will find that experience at the center. Aden’s challenge is to build a life of his own while other beings, inside and outside his mind, continually make claims on it.
