Oh, wow-zah!
The Summoning is all sorts of good!
This book kept me up at night. Partially because I really wanted to read to find out what would happen next, and the other part was that I was so damn creeped out! (I’m scared of the dark too, Chloe!)
Oh, and is it weird that I have a crush on Derek? ;)

I got this book as a gift, and when I started to read it, I was a little weirded out by the first chapter. I stopped reading i, but after a while I ran out of other books to read, and I decided to pick this one up again. I made a great decision there! It was a fantastic read, and I got the second one as soon as I could. I can't wait for the next one! These books are so gripping! I love them.

Chloe Saunders is a petite strawberry blond; No one ever seems to guess she's 15 years old. All at once puberty hits, and she sees her first ghost since she was a child. Her aunt and father decide to appease her school and send her to a group home for two weeks. She meets a surprising cast of characters at Lyle House, who may have more to them than meets the eye. "Will Chloe be able to uncover the dangerous secrets of Lyle House...or will its skeletons come back to haunt her?"
The Summoning is the first book in the Darkest Powers trilogy, and i can't wait until the next book comes out. The plot was intriguing, the characters were very well developed, and the writing style flowed beautifully. Chloe is exactly the opposite of me (i'm 5'8 and brunette, she's 5'0 and blond), yet i felt a strong connection and was able to put myself in her place very easily. I definitely recommend The Summoning to any reader.

Chloe Saunders used to have a pretty normal life. But that changed on the day she met her first ghost. Now she finds herself in the midst of some really strange situations. First, she gets locked up in the Lyle House, a group home for troubled teens. Then she finds out that there's more to her housemates than meets the eye. Will Chloe be able to uncover the dangerous secrets of the Lyle House... or will its skeletons come back to haunt her?
I loved this book. It was really good. The characters were well-written and the plot was really good.The book kept me on the edge of my seat. It had some twist and turns. The Summoning was really amazing. This book is the first in a trilogy. If you love paranormal books I suggest you read this book.I stayed up all night finishing this book. The only thing I don't like is that now I have to wait for the sequel to come out. :( The book comes out July 1,2008 so go buy it at your local bookstore or get it from your library when it comes out

From when Chloe Saunders was just a little girl, she saw ghosts. Of course then, she thought they were only nightmarish imaginary friends. And her life seemed to become almost normal when they moved out of that haunted house and after her mom died. But when Chloe hits puberty, she starts seeing the ghosts again. Now shes forced to stay in Lyle House so she can learn to cope with her schizophrenia. But the other kids at Lyle House have also been incorrectly diagnosed with mental problems. Theres a reason certain doors remain locked and there special kids are gathered in this institution. As Chloe works to uncover these sinister secrets, she starts to question everything around her, from her schizophrenia, to what happened to her roommate who was taken away, and even to her mothers death.
My first reaction after finishing this novel was WOW. Kelley Armstrong does an amazing job of connecting Chloes past with her present and weaving the other characters stories in as well. the story was highly suspenseful and action-packed and the exciting twists and turns kept me guessing. The novel focuses mainly on plot, so there isnt much characterization, but the suspense, secrets, and action were more than enough to hold my interest.
I most definitely recommend this novel, especially to fans of the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson or the Uglies and Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld. The Summoning will be part of a trilogy, which I am very excited about, and will be published by HarperTeen in late August, which those of you who dont already have a copy of this great book should be thrilled about.
