Synopsis rom Goodreads
Title: The Summoning
Author: Kelly Armstrong
Publication Date: July 1st, 2008
Publisher: HarperTeen
After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. She is attending art school, pursuing her dreams of becoming a director, making friends, meeting boys. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere, demanding her attention. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home. At first, Lyle House seems a pretty okay place, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home–charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek, obnoxious Tori, and Rae, who has a “thing” for fire–Chloe begins to realize that there is something that binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual “problem kid” behaviour. And together they discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home either…
My Review
Really amazing!!! I did not expect it to be so great. Kelly Armstrong is such a great author; the book was supernatural yet so realistic. I was too involved wherein I kept imagning myself in the scences; really thrilling and amazing.
I came to love and learn to hate all of the character in which they were well developed. The story did not lag at all, it went on smoothly. Chloe is such a petite girl with great abilities which made her uniquely attractive. Derek and Simon slightly remind me of 'Sam and Dean' from 'Supernatural', though not really like them, but they were fun to read about. Tori was an annoying brat. Did not care a lot about Rae, but she somewhat has her charms. The book was well written in which it was an easy read not too complicated to understand and adapt with.
5/5 Really worth my time! can't wait to read The Awakening.
