The Summoning - Kelley Armstrong



Review:
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.
Description:
Let me say that I LOVE this book series!
This book is a refreshing change from all the other young adult books that I have been reading lately.
All the other books are fun reads, but this book actually scared me a few times. I like all the characters and from the beginning really liked Derek. He was very protective in a "mean" sort of way but you can see through all that. (I guess I just love the lone brooding type) For some reason the person I kept on picturing as Derek was Tom Welling. I never bought into the whole ugly, pimply and smelly guy. I also liked Chloe because she was a strong person and tried her best to deal with the changes in her life. She was loyal always looking out for her friends to make sure that they were all right. This was a fun and easy read. I highly recommend it.
