Journal Entry 1 by Kyrissaean from Littleton, New Hampshire USA on Monday, June 30, 2008

ARC, heading next into the eager hands of my sister....


As a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong's adult Women of the Otherworld series, I was very eager to see what she would write for a young adult audience. Once again Armstrong delivers! Those familiar with her adult novels will happily recognize paranormal world-building elements from that series making an appearance here, but rest assured The Summoning is the first book in a separate new series for young adult readers.

And a great series its starting out to be! Exciting, atmospheric, and creepy, this book is hard to stop reading! This is a world where the things that trouble teens aren't just social issues or drugs, and where the changes that come with adolescence can be...startling. Fun from beginning to end, The Summoning is a delicious read for Armstrong's old fans and new ones too! The only bad thing is the wait for the next book!
