Journal Entry 1 by Minerva101 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, February 11, 2012
This is book two of the Darkest Powers Trilogy - I have enjoyed all 3 of them and so have my teenage children. We are looking forward to meeting Kelley Armstrong at When Words Collide 2012


Product Description
Book II in the Darkest Powers trilogy takes us deeper into a world where the supernatural intrudes on the everyday with riveting effect.

If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl – someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I’m as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment – not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a group of people who call themselves The Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I’m a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control: I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.

I’m running for my life with three of my supernatural friends – a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch – and we have to find someone who can help us gain our freedom back before The Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.

Read this second book. Loved it. Had a hard time putting it down~ I think maybe a few too many twists were added in to all be properly addressed within the story... but I still hearted it~

Thanks for the great read!!

Picked up at the May Calgary Book Crossing Meeting.

Journal Entry 12 by DendriticTrees at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, July 14, 2012
First off, let me say that more books should be rough-cut, it's just so wonderfully tactile.

This book really draws you in and its very fast paced, but I was just dying for a bit of world-building halfway though. A lot of it has to do with character view points, the reader only knows as much as the characters, and they know very little, but it gets confusing, especially when combined with the fact that almost everyone has another agenda and is lying to each other.

Journal Entry 18 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Picked up this book at the Calgary BookCrossing September meet-up. Well, I was given the rest of this series, so I might as well keep going. I'm assured the series gets better, so here's hoping.

Journal Entry 19 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, September 24, 2012
I don't know what it is about this series. I just can't get into it. The more I read, the more I can't stand it. Chloe's whole thing about viewing the world through movie tropes really gets on my nerves. And I just want to throttle Tori. Yes, there are bitchy girls in the world, but no one is that annoying all the time. And what's the point? If you need a bitchy girl, there has to be a point. The dialogue feels forced at times, too. I know this is teen fiction and I shouldn't be expecting a thought provoking read, but a bit more complexity would be nice.

I liked the second book much better. Perhaps, because all the 'intro' was done in the first book. Teenagers running for their lives - what fun!

Looking forward to the read.

I like that this book i's a really quick read - finished it on the flight from Calgary to Toronto.

Will be brought to the next Calgary meetup and handed off (hopefully) with the other two books in the series.
