“There is always something happening in this story. At first, I wasn't sure what pieces of information were significant and which ones were not, but it all fits quite well. This book has one heck of a cliffhanger; I've never felt so helpless by the end of a read. There are just so many loose ends and because of this, I didn't feel any sense of closure. This book left me begging for the sequel.

Chloe seems to be a typical teen, albeit somewhat of a late boomer. Chloe can see ghosts and communicate with them. Specifically, she can raise the dead. If I were seeing ghosts right after having had my first period, I'd be freaking out too. She's believable and I didn't mind following along on the journey. The characters are pretty well written and the dialogue is great, but I felt something was missing, and I'm not sure what that is. Perhaps it's because so much of the action happens in or around the Lyle house that the setting of the story is pretty much "contained" except for the beginning and the end. Still, I wanted to read on to find out what happens next.
Chloe is not the only one considered as a supernatural; there are others in the Lyle house. I won't reveal what their powers are. There's Simon, Derek, Rae . . . I like Derek the most though. He doesn't come off as likeable at the beginning and he keeps much about himself hidden, but as the story progressed, I grew to like him. I like how Simon is Asian, or more like half Asian. When I got to the part where he's talking about stereotypes and such, he's absolutely right.
All in all, The Summoning is a good read. I like the premise of the book. I haven't read a book quite like this before. I bet this book is a great setup for the sequel. The author sure knows how to keep readers on the edge.”
“Kelley Armstrong is an amazing author. The Awakening is such an intense story of good verses evil. Chole and the rest of the rag-tag gang are on the run from the Edison group. This book is filled with more up's then down's and more high's then low's making it a wonderful fast-paced book.”

But I really liked this book and devoured it. She has the same creatures bumping around in the night, but just made it for teens. I really liked Chloe--she isn't your normal, kick but heroine, but that somehow makes her more realistic and better. I also like the relationships the characters in the book have, especially between Chloe and Derrek. She interweaves normal teenage worries and strifes into a plot involving conspiracy and Otherworlders. Go figure. ”
