The Awakening-Kelley Armstrong

If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl — someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment — not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.




Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends — a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch — and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.



MY REVIEW
The the second book in the Darkest Powers series. I loved this book even better then the first(and the first book rocked) It continues where it left off in the first book(not gonna give much away for those who haven't read the first book) But you will be wanting more after you're done with this one. In a way it kind of reminds me of X-men but they are two totally different stories and I'm pretty sure nobody in X-men could talk to the dead and raise zombies. But anyways if you haven't read it,read it! Kelley Armstrong is an amazing author.She almost compares to J.K. Rowling. And that's a compliment from me. Stephenie Meyer eat your heart out.(no offense against the people who like the dull twilight series)

The Summoning-Kelley Armstrong

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again.




All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me.



Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.




MY REVIEW

The first book in the Darkest Powers series.OMG! I loved this book. Chloe could talk to and see ghosts even at the age of 3. She grew up thinking those were her imaginary friends after her mom died when she was young. When puberty hit she began seeing them again. Her aunt and dad took her to a group home with other kids her age where they told her she had some mental problems and the ghost stuff was all in her head and part of the problem. Only they had her there for more than just her being crazy. There are kids there with different problems that are told the same thing. You need to read the book it's great! Best series since Harry Potter. So glad I took the librarians advice and read the book otherwise I would have passed it up.
