The Awakening

Impressed

4 weeks ago

I read The summoning and the Awakening in a day, I could not put them down and I didnt want to wait to read the next, so I just picked it up (the hubby wasnt happy lol) This picks up right where the first left off and it shows alot about friendship, companionship, trust, and understanding. I love Derrik, and Chloe. Simon is great, but something about him bugs me. Tori is fun...lol. I can not wait for the next one. :) I agree, that your neighbours house could explode and you wouldnt even… + read more

Good, but I think I liked Summoning better

2 months ago

The second book in the Darkest Powers series picks up right where the last one ended. and while I enjoyed this romp with Chloe, Derek, Simon, Tori, and Rae, it was missing something that armstrong captured in the first book. Or maybe it's just my penchant to like the first book in a series best. We see Chloe struggle to get a hold of her powers (trying not to raise animal zombies), and the beginning of a love triangle bloom (Derek and Simon are both so cute in their over-protective natures… + read more

Better Than the First Book

3 months ago

This book is better than the first one because more characters are developed throughout and the plot thickens for Chloe Sander's, Simon, Derek and Tori. I anxiously await The Reckoning to see how it all comes together in the end.

Even better than the first

4 months ago

I LOVED this book. It was so much better than the first, and the first one is not that bad. I loved following Chloe and the other Lyle house misfits as they escape the evil adults from Lyle house. I also really enjoyed the budding romance between Chloe and Derek. Can't wait for the Reckoning

Amazing! Can't wait for the next one.

4 months ago

After their attempt to escape the Lyle house, Chloe and Rae (the half -demon) were recapture while Derek, Simon and Tori escaped. Now the Edison Group, the people behind the Lyle House and the reason why Chloe was such an incredibly powerful Necromancer, try to get Chloe to turn in her friends and her only hope for escape. Rae seems perfectly fine staying in the new compound run by the Edison Group and that makes Chloe question...who turned them in the first place. Victoria, the teenage witch… + read more

kelley armstrong never disappoints

4 months ago

This, besides Twilight, was the first young adult book I have read and so when purchased it, having nothing else to read, I didn't have high expectations for it. Boy was I in for a treat. This series has officially become my new favorite series. Chloe Saunders is a young woman of fifteen years who has been neglected, for lack of a better term, by a father who basically didn't know how to raise her without his beloved deceased wife. So when Chloe finally become a woman---has her first… + read more

Great book..

Was really exciting and 1000 times better than the first. I hope Chloe starts liking Derek instead of Simon. Simon is way to boring for Chloe. :)

Run!

5 months ago

I really really love this book, I was so excited when I started it. I was expecting a lot because The Summoning was extremely good and The Awakening was as good. This book is a fast read that you can't stop until the end, it's fast paced with a lot like a lot of action it don,t stop until the end. Even if the book was really good I would have like more romance. Anyways, I can't wait to read The Reckoning and I recommend this book for everyone.

Fantastic!

The Awakening, kelley Armstrongs second bookin her Chloe Saunder's series is by far ten times better then the first book and not to be missed. Book one left off with Chloe and some of her friends being captured by a sinister organization called the Edison Group and book two picks right up where the last left off with Chloe trying to figure out who she can trust and why all these strange things arehappening to her. In this game of cat and mouse Chloe finds herself on the run again trying to… + read more

Great sequel!

5 months ago

Kelley Armstrong has yet to disappoint me... This book was filled with action and I definately liked the Women of the Otherworld references. I really love where this is going. The only thing I don't like about this, is that we have to wait until April to know what's going to happen to Chloe, Derek, Simon and Tori. Also, I don't care, haters to the left - I ship Chloe and Derek and I really hope something happens with them in The Reckoning.

Another good one by Kelley Armstrong

5 months ago

Well I thought the first book was good. Kelley Armstrong did it again with the second one. It was as good as the first which sometimes is hard to do. I can not wait to read the third one to find out what happens to these friends.

Got me Wishing for More.

7 months ago

I don't think there's any book that Kelley Armstrong has written that I don't like. After reading the Summoning I was impatient for the next book. Often when there's quite a bit of time between books we loose interest but The Awakening got me excited all over again. Plus, there were lots of unexpected and it was a good move to finish in suspense....

Non-Stop Thrill!!!!

I thought The Summoning was really good, but The Awakening is really really really good!! I started reading it yesterday night and couldn't stop reading it since. The adventure picks up right after the first few pages, the suspense puts you on the edge of your seat, this book was just too good!! Chloe has to find Simon and Derek, and help them find there dad, but it's not that easy when you have the Edison group on the look out for you. The adventure in this book was amazing, i loved the… + read more

Tad bit repetitive

7 months ago

I loved this second novel in the series and I'm enjoying where Armstrong is taking all this. I was a little disappointed with the repetitiveness of the story, though. It seemed to be a series of "almost get caught" followed swiftly with "oh, we're okay" moments. I little less of that and I think the story could have been perfect. We're getting closer to unraveling the mystery of what's happened with Chloe and friends.. and it's turning out to be a rather juicy conspiracy. They're also… + read more
