Chloe is such a good girl, gets good grades and finds life pretty okay so far. But when a death guy shows up at school, she flips, understandable and gets herself a one way ticket to Lyle House.
Lyle House, an institution for kids who has problems, or at least that’s what they are telling her. When I begin to read the story, I found myself trapped in the world where Chloe is. I could visualize the whole story in front of me and found myself loving the story. At Lyle House she meets Derek, Simon,

I'd considered starting this series for awhile but I just didn't get around to it before now.
I finally read book one The Summoning and I'm really happy that I did. It's a good book.

As it often is with a first book in a series there's a lot of background information and I felt that the first 2/3 of the book moved very slow, but the last 1/3 was great, really tense and with a lot of suspense.

In the beginning of the book I felt like the langueid was a little to young for me and I was afraid that I

OK...I read this book a while back, so this will be a quick review as I try to remember what I thought. Look for reviews of the rest of the books in the Darkest Powers Trilogy in the future.


The Summoning was definitely an interesting book with a storyline being something that I never read before. Before reading this book, I have never read a book about a necromancer, so it was nice to explore that aspect of the supernatural world. I had fun spending time with Chloe as she tried to figure out wha

This book was incredible! I read it about a year ago but it was very interesting. I like that Chloe is a necromancer and can see ghosts that is different from the normal vampire/werewolves. A must read for anyone who loves supernatural.

This book was an easy read. Just when I thought I'd get a little more background about the Lyle House, the doctors & it's inhabitants, it ended. It has drawn me in though, even if the people aren't my favorite supernatural characters. I'm curious to see how Liz takes the news...
