The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong


Fifteen year old Chloe Saunders has a meltdown at school, fending off teachers as she swears she saw a ghost. This episode lands her in the Lyle House, a group home for disturbed teens. Chloe is immediately diagnosed as schizophrenic, but with some encouragement from her housemates, she begins to believe in her powers. With some prodding, she researches necromancy and learns more about her abilities. When she summons some spirits to find some answers about strange occurrences at the Lyle House, she is immersed in the world of supernaturals. It turns out that the other teens in the Lyle House also have supernatural talents and the fact that they have all been herded together is not mere coincidence...

Although this story took quite a while for me to get into (200 pages in, I still had no idea what was going on!), the payoff in the end was definitely worth it! Hopefully, the second book in the series will pick up right where this one left off.
