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'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.

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...
