Summary:"The Summoning" is the first book in the Darkest Power Trilogy. Chloe Saunders never thought she was crazy, she may have seen a few ghosts in her life but nothing that would ever land her in Lyle House or be labeled a Schizophrenic. The only problem is that she DOES see ghosts and CAN communicate with them because she is a necromancer. The interesting thing is that everyone at the Lyle House seems to have some kind of label to describe their "supernatural" powers. Is this a coincidence? You will have to see!
My Opinion:
Normally when it comes to ghosts and the afterlife I am a little chicken, usually avoiding all movies, books, and anything else related. So I was very hesitant to read The Summoning. But the book kept popping up in blogs and colleagues were raving so I just had to bite my nails and read it. I did stay away from reading the book at night (I really am chicken) but once I started the book I lost my worries of ghost and scary ghouls. Okay enough about me and my fears. Armstrong does a wonderful job with the characters. Each teenager at the Lyle house has his or her own story and toward the end of the book they become connected to each other by one common purpose. "The Summoning" not only is a great thriller and fantasy book but holds its own as a great coming of age story. Chloe is faced with a huge realization about many things in her life. Not only does she find out that she has a supernatural power but she finally gets her period at the late age of fifteen, and she is betrayed by one of the most important people in her life. Can't wait for the next book "The Awakening"!
