The Summoning and The Awakening

this book is goooood! i’m not saying it’s a perfect one but i like it and i’m hooked! as always. haha

i started reading this book last night and just finished it today. did i mention that it’s REAAAAllly gooooood! hahah

I like the story because it’s something different.. ok actually it’s not because i read a series/trilogy by L.J. Smith Dark Visions; and i must say that it’s like this book is based from that trilogy, although completely altered. (you know, the story, characters, etccc)

i like Simon the sorcerer for Chloe the necromancer, but i know that it’s Derek the werewolf. ok i do not know for sure. i’m just guessing. Simon may have the looks but he’s did not show great interest in Chloe. there are some parts like the paying attention, the talking, the touching it’s sooo something yet it’s not enough. on the other hand, with Derek, clearly he’s not showing any romantic interest for Chloe, but i THINK there is something, like the concern for her safety and all, the helping part, the curious gaze, the just the the…. haha. ok i really must read the 2nd book! oh by the way, the book doesn’t really focus on the LOVE part here, MAYBE there will be maybe there isnt. it’s more focused on the powers and struggles and friendship… maybe there is the LOVE part… but certainly not in this book..

Story: Chloe, 15, has the ability to see dead people, but before she can figure out what is happening, she has a breakdown, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and placed in a group home. She befriends some of the teens at Lyle House and tries to accept her treatment. However, two of her more mysterious housemates suggest that maybe she isn't crazy. Derek tells her to look up necromancy on the Internet, and she finds out that it's the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. He appears to have superstrength, and his foster brother has magical powers. Chloe's roommate, who causes things to fly around the room when she becomes angry, is taken away to a hospital and never heard from again. When she returns in Chloe's visions, Chloe suspects foul play, a misgiving confirmed when the dead speak to her again and reveal that they were "supernaturals" who were experimented on, killed, and buried in the home's basement many years before. Together with her new friends, Chloe escapes Lyle House, only to be betrayed. This suspenseful novel sets up a secret underworld where some people support and help supernaturals, while others persecute them. Armstrong combines bits of horror, teen relationships, and a dash of mystery to create a page-turner.
