'The Summoning' by Kelley Armstrong


RRP: £6.99 Pages: 390 Modern Fantasy Fiction


My frequent reviewers will know that Kelley Armstrong is one of my favourie authors, and this new series is going to be the start of another fantastic set!


'The Summoning' is once again written in the first person, but as all of Armstrong's books are, I came to expect that. The story just flows from page to page and just keeps you hooked until the end. The only thing that disappoints me is that it was so short! But only because I really want to know what happens next - this book ends on a real cliff hanger!


All Chloe Saunders wants is a life like any normal teenager - the chance to get through school, make friends, and maybe meet a boy. But when she starts seeing ghosts, she knows that life will never be normal again.


Soon the ghosts are everywhere, demanding her attention. When Chloe finally breaks down, she's admitted to a group home for disturbed kids. At first Lyle House seems oaky, but as she gets to know the other patients - charming SImon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek; obnoxious Tori; and Rae, who has a 'thing' for fire - Chloe begins to realise that something strange and sinister binds them all together, and it isn't your usual 'problem kid' behaviour.


And they're about to discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home, either ...


Rating - 10 out of 10 - another great read!
