‘The Summoning’ entices fans of the supernatural

By Lauren Holstner

Readers who like supernatural stories then should read The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong. It is an amazing book that will make them thirst for more.

Have you ever wanted to have supernatural powers? Well, meet Chloe Sanders. She once had a normal life, until she could see dead people and they saw her. It all started on one nice afternoon. She went to school, and she was taken out on a stretcher, screaming.

A ghost had attacked her, but no one would believe her, so she ended up in the Lyle House, a place for troubled teens with mental problems. With medication, a new friend, and the kind nurses she should be able to stop seeing the ghosts. Well, maybe.

As her life at the hated Lyle House goes on she discovers many things that could happen, and all the Lyle House skeletons may just be her downfall. As her stay continues she discovers the mysteries that surround the place and its horrifying secrets, along with the secrets of her fellow supernatural house guests.

From things being not what they seem to extreme problems that will have you wanting more, this book is a great read. With page-turning events in almost every chapter, I love how this book keeps the reader guessing and wishing for more. I was not able to put it down until I finished it and now I cannot wait to read the rest of the series, which consists of five books.

Love ghosts? Love werewolves? Love sorcerers? Then this is the book for you.
