She becomes more of a real character, and she does even out Chloe’s more goody two-shoes nature. While this doesn’t redeem her actions from the first book, it does give us more of a background about Tori. Chloe gets to know more about Tori for instance. The relationships Chloe, our main character, has with the others are being deepened out. I like most of the characters in this book. However they have gotten to a point that sets up the start of the next book nicely.

It just felt way too easy for me, and I kind of hope there is a bit of a twist on that in the next book. So there were a few moves going back and forth. One thing that I really liked at the start of the book is how Chloe is trying to figure out ways to get away, but that the adults aren’t being entirely stupid about it. We do get to know these characters better. But that didn’t bother me as much as like I said, this book is more character driven. Plot wise it really feels like an in between book that brings them from point A to point B. This book is a lot more character driven than it is plot driven. We also get some answers about what happened to Liz, though I think most of us already knew what had happened to her. While I did thoroughly enjoy this book, I do miss the wow factor to rate this any higher than 4 stars.įrom the first few chapters we learn some new information about who had been holding the kids and why they were all put together. Yet again this book is an easy, quick read, and one that is hard to put down. The Awakening continues very quickly after the ending of The Summoning. 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. My name is Chloe Saunders, and if you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl – someone normal.
