My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again.
All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me.
Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.
Blurb from Barnes and Noble.com
4 out of 5 stars
Okay, I have to admit that blurb was a little cheesey. It doesn't really fit the theme of the book. Maybe, sorta Chloe's mindset, a little. But the actual feel of the book. No, not really. The book is much more haunting, more spooky, mysterious. The last sentence of the blurb was pretty good.
This book was compelling. I just couldn't stop reading it. And I can't really tell you why. Of course the plot and the characters are amazing, and I wanted to read more about them. But the actual writing, was nothing special. It just seemed like normal writing, nothing that make me say, wow this writing is amazing! Just . . . writing.
But still. I was just sucked into this book, and everything that was going on. I was trapped in that world, and I was happy there. There was nothing but The Summoning, and when a book does that to me, I can tell it'll be good.
This book was completely original. I have never read a book about a girl who has a little stuttering problem, or went to a mental house, or was labeled schizophrenic. I have also never read a book about necromancers and shaman's.
I would recomend this to you if you like The Mortal Instruments, The Hunger Games, or really any good book, because this book was stunning. Definitely read this!
