The Summoning (Book 1: The Darkest Powers Series) by Kelley Armstrong

Summary: After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted Aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home. At first, Lyle House seems okay, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home Chloe begins to realize that Lyle House is not your typical group home…

Thoughts: Really good. For those who like supernatural elements, they'll love The Summoning. Chloe is a likeable character and Armstrong manages to keep us hooked and creeped out by what is happening at Lyle House...Can't wait for Book 2 of the series.

Rating: 4 stars out of 5
