I’ve enjoyed watching Chloe and Derek’s relationship progress throughout this trilogy, they get lots of alone time in this installment, and their dialogue is definitely one of the highlights of this story. There was of course a cliff hanger which twisted my arm into binge listening to all three.īook 1 focused more on world-building while as this one was all about the action the kids are still on the run from the Edison Group, Souza had his first encounter with werewolves and it did NOT go well, and living on the streets comes with its own set of challenges as well.
I did like how Saunders conquered her fears by putting everything into the context of a movie, it was very teenage overactive imagination, and I’m confident that Derek and I will get along just fine. The paranormal elements were subtle in the earlier chapters which was kind of disappointing, and the author immediately painted all of Chloe’s parental figures in a distasteful light which is a personal pet peeve of mine where this genre is concerned. Like most first installments, this audiobook has its share of flaws, but still managed to do a decent job of introducing the characters, and the DARKEST POWERS universe. Kelley Armstrong is #1 on my list of favourite authors thanks to her phenomenal WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD series, so I thought it was high time that I gave her Young Adult trilogy a chance. And finally, she's a genetically altered necromancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying. Then there's the fact that she's running for her life from an evil corporation that's trying to kill her and her supernatural friends. First of all, she can't figure out how she feels about a certain antisocial werewolf or his charming brother-who just happens to be a sorcerer.

She's a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control, which means she can raise the dead without even trying. The Awakening: Chloe Saunders is a living science experiment-not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. before its skeletons come back to haunt her. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to her to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House. There is definitely more to Chloe's housemates than meets the eye.
