Helpful Score: 2
I am definitely glad I picked this book up. First, I didn't realize it was YA when I got it from the library, and Second, I didn't realize it would be set in the same universe as Ms. Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series - a great paranormal series, btw.
I loved that Chloe was so normal (awakened supernatural powers aside). She isn't totally boy-crazy like some YA protagonists, nor is she super prudish & preachy (DO NOT pick up the "House of Night" vampire YA series, the main character is HORRIBLE). She just has normal desires to do well, has a very interesting profession in mind already, and handles the crazy changes in her life the way I think a strong main character should.
The summaries others have written are all very accurate. I loved how the story starts with a very creepy scene, but quickly turns normal, then exciting, as the plot gets going. Ms. Armstrong always writes women very well - strong, confident, definitely normal women with extraordinary abilities.
I look forward to #2 which is out already, and will probably be chomping at the bit for the 3rd. If you like this series, but haven't read her "Women of the Otherword" (start with Bitten), I recommend you try those, too. More mature (NOT YA) but a good solid world with very interesting magic.
