The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2)
by Kelley Armstrong (Goodreads Author)
by Kelley Armstrong (Goodreads Author)
Books in series:
1.The Summoning
2.The Reckoning
3.The Awakening
Title & Cover:
First of all, for every book so far the titles have fit the story like a glove.I loved how the cover uses key elements instead of showing some girl in an action shot.
Summary:
Chloe Saunders sees dead people. Yes, like in the films. The problem is, in real life saying you see ghosts gets you a one-way ticket to the psych ward. And at 15, all Chloe wants to do is fit in at school and maybe get a boy to notice her. But when a particularly violent ghost haunts her, she gets noticed for all the wrong reasons. Her seemingly crazed behaviour earns her a trip to Lyle House, a centre for disturbed teens.
At first Chloe is determined to keep her head down. But then her room mate disappears after confessing she has a poltergeist, and some of the other patients also seem to be manifesting paranormal behaviour. Could that be a coincidence? Or is Lyle House not quite what it seems…? Chloe realizes that if she doesn’t uncover the truth, she could be destined for a lifetime in a psychiatric hospital. Or could her fate be even worse…? Can she trust her fellow students, and does she dare reveal her dark secret?

My Thoughts on the Story:
At first when i heard about this series i thought it was going to be one of those weird/girl saves world and everyone acts like nothing ever happened storys, but boy was I wrong! I have to thank one of my friends who convinced me to read it. It wasn't a short book ,but a quick read ! For anyone out there who hasn't read or tred to read this i would highly recommend it. And if you have read it please leave a comment on what you thought of it!
