As a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong's adult Women of the Otherworld series, I was very eager to see what she would write for a young adult audience. Once again Armstrong delivers! Those familiar with her adult novels will happily recognize paranormal world-building elements from that series making an appearance here, but rest assured The Summoning is the first book in a separate new series for young adult readers.

And a great series its starting out to be! Exciting, atmospheric, and creepy, this book is hard to stop reading! This is a world where the things that trouble teens aren't just social issues or drugs, and where the changes that come with adolescence can be...startling. This was a fun read from beginning to end, which I can see drawing new fans and old. The only bad thing is the wait for the next book!
