The Awakening - (Darkest Powers) by Kelley Armstrong (Paperback)

About the Book

In this follow-up to "The Summoning," the first book in the Darkest Powers trilogy, "New York Times"-bestselling author Armstrong continues the thrilling adventures of a teenage necromancer and her supernatural friends.

From the Back Cover

You don't have to be alive to be awakened.

Chloe Saunders is a living science experiment--not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. She's a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control, which means she can raise the dead without even trying. Now Chloe's running for her life with three of her supernatural friends--a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch--and they have to find someone who can help them before the Edison Group catches them.

Or die trying.

Review Quotes

"Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre." - ALA Booklist
The second installment of the Darkest Powers series hits the ground running, leaving readers tripping, stumbling and racing to keep up. Teens grappling with their own transformations and alienating individuality will certainly follow these characters to the book's final pages and into the next volume. Dark alleys, undead bodies and bountiful blood will cause shivers, while Chloe's chemistry with both boys will raise readers' pulses. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A page-turner. Readers will anticipate the book to follow." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
