Teen Review by Daniela. . .The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

You may think that Chloe's life is perfect,having a rich dad, the newest and coolest clothes, and a maid to do everything you ask her to. With her mom dead and with her dad gone practically every week on a business trip, the only person she can confide in is her aunt. Whether it is tremendous PMSing or she's going crazy; she is seeing ghost. After seeing a janitor running toward her and thinking it was one of her teachers Chloe is sent to a home for troubled teens, but as she later finds out that house might be something else and it is hiding a big secret. Talking to ghost can be pretty bad on you and she finds herself not being able to trust not even her closest relatives. Going to this house might have been the worst or the best that has ever happen to Chloe.


I love Kelley Armstrong! Thanks for the review, Daniela. If you like Kelly Armstrong, too, and have finished the Darkest Powers trilogy, why not try one of these:

The Ninja Reviews. . .Captivate by Carrie Jones

Pixies, Werewolves, & Valkyries, Oh My!

Carrie Jones takes us back into her world of Pixies and snow in Captivate, the sequel to Need.

Zara and her friends have successfully imprisoned the King of the Pixies (who just so happens to be her biological father) and his minions in a house in the woods of Maine. Little do they realize that their Pixie trouble is just beginning. A great battle is brewing for control of Zara’s father’s kingdom that will ultimately pit good against evil. Luckily Zara has her friends to help: her boyfriend, Nick (who is a hot--is there any other kind?—Werewolf), Devyn (her Were-Eagle friend), Betty (her Were-Tiger grandmother) and Issie (her human sidekick).

Just when they think they are holding their own, along comes a Valkyrie taking wounded warriors to Valhalla (Viking Heaven to us mortals) to ready for the great battle. Will they be able to keep everyone safe from the Pixies, or will Zara be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect those she loves?

Captivate, a book you’ll Need to read!

The evil pixie in me must tell you that Captivate won’t be published until January. I just so happened to get an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) hate me if you must!
