Fifteen-year-old Chloe Saunders was a normal teenage girl until an incident at her high school led to her being locked up at Lyle House for treatment. Id suggest you forgo reading it to be on the safe side. And, I feel that I should give anyone who hasnt read the first book, The Summoning, a warning there are probably spoilers contained in this post. The Awakening is the second book in Armstrongs Darkest Powers series for young adults. Hobbies? Cooking (especially baking), hiking, camping, movies, and RPGs (hey, I'm a former computer programmerof course, I play RPGsit's, like, a career requirement).Įducation: University of Western Ontario (BA, Psychology) Yeah, it's rather cliche, but my family is very important to me, and if I'm not working, I'm usually hanging out with them. I've been an avid reader from a very young age and quickly wanted to start telling my own stories. Storytelling is my passion, and it rises from a love of reading. Even with 13 books published, and more coming, I still consider writing my favorite hobby. She lives in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with her husband, kids, and far too many pets. She's the author of the Darkest Powers young adult urban fantasy trilogy, the Women of the Otherworld paranormal suspense series, and the Nadia Stafford crime series. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts, demons, and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. All efforts to make her produce 'normal' stories failed. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous.

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Now 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 before the Edison Group finds us first.

Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control I raise the dead without even trying.

A living science experiment-not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group.

Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl-someone normal.
