There’s something about the new guy at Crossroads High...

Most sixteen-year-olds have friends. Aden Stone has four human souls living inside him:

One can time-travel.
One can raise the dead.
One can tell the future.
And one can possess another human.

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.

Like, he’ll blink and suddenly he’s a younger Aden, reliving the past. One wrong move, and he’ll change the future. Or, he’ll walk past a total stranger and know how and when she’s going to die.

He’s so over it. All he wants is peace.

And then he meets a girl who quiets the voices. Well, for as long as he’s with her. Why? Mary Ann Gray is his total opposite. He’s a loner; she has friends. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks; she tries to make everyone happy. And while he attracts the paranormal, she repels it. For her sake, he should stay away.  But it’s too late...

Somehow, they share an inexplicable bond of friendship. 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. Two romances, both forbidden... doomed. Still, the four will enter a dark underworld of intrigue and danger... but not everyone will come out alive...

Gena Showalter

Gena Showalter

Some writers flirt with the dark. Gena Showalter moves in, lights a few candles, and invites desire to sit at the table with danger.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, she grew up devouring fairy tales, horror stories, and anything that hinted at worlds beyond the ordinary. That early appetite for the fantastical shaped a career built on paranormal romance and fantasy fiction where love is rarely safe and power always demands a price. She sold her first novel in her twenties, and from there her output became almost legendary, more than a hundred books spanning adult paranormal romance, young adult fantasy, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance.

Her breakout success came with the Lords of the Underworld series, a bold concept that introduced immortal warriors cursed with the demons of Pandora’s box. In these bestselling paranormal romance novels, ancient mythology collides with modern passion. The heroes are scarred, emotionally guarded, and often tormented by literal inner demons. The heroines are no less formidable. What gives the series its staying power is not just the supernatural premise, but the emotional intensity. Themes of redemption, trauma, loyalty, and forbidden love pulse through every installment, grounding the fantasy in raw human need.

Showalter’s creative range extends beyond immortal warriors. The Alien Huntress and Otherworld Assassins series weave science fiction elements into high-heat romance, while her young adult titles, including the White Rabbit Chronicles and the Everlife trilogy, reimagine classic motifs with darker stakes. In Alice in Zombieland, for example, she transforms a familiar childhood tale into a gritty battle against the undead, layered with grief and self-discovery. The tonal shift from adult romance to YA fantasy feels intentional rather than strategic, as though she is exploring different emotional frequencies of the same core question, how do we survive love and loss in a dangerous world.

A frequent presence on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, her novels have been translated widely and embraced by an international audience of fantasy romance readers. She has received nominations for major romance awards, and her YA work has earned recognition from readers’ choice programs, a testament to her ability to cross age categories without losing her voice.

That voice is distinct. Showalter writes with intensity and immediacy. Her characters often teeter between vulnerability and ferocity, and her worlds shimmer with magic while remaining emotionally grounded. She does not shy away from darkness, but she rarely leaves her characters there. Even in the most brutal battles or emotionally fraught relationships, there is a current of hope, a belief that connection can be transformative.

Still based in Oklahoma, she balances a prolific writing schedule with family life and a love for rescue animals. That grounded domestic reality stands in sharp contrast to the immortal warriors and apocalyptic landscapes she creates, yet it may be part of the secret. The extraordinary feels more believable when anchored in something real.

For readers searching for paranormal romance packed with myth, passion, and high-stakes fantasy, Gena Showalter’s books offer worlds where love is fierce, magic is dangerous, and no heart emerges unchanged.
