Waiting on Wednesday (4)--The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong


I can't wait for this book. It looks so great and I loved the first one. I'm a big fan of Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. She's a great writer and a major player in the world of paranormal fiction. I definitely recommend her books. I was so excited when she made her first foray into the world of YA and I was not disappointed. The Summoning is great and The Awakening will be too I'm sure. Now I just have to wait for it to come out...if I can.


Book II in the Darkest Powers trilogy takes us deeper into a world where the supernatural intrudes on the everyday with riveting effect.If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl – someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I’m as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment – not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a group of people who call themselves The Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I’m a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control: I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever. 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 gain our freedom back before The Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.

  1. Me too. I loved The Summoning and can't wait to read this. And have you noticed how similar the cover of The Awakening is to Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr?

  5. I just got The Summoning from the library tonight, along with Prom Dates From Hell and Hell Week (and way too many other books). I already have a pile of books but they are so good! You have the best titles listed on your blog.

  6. I'll have to check out these books. Thanks for the review, they sound great! I still love YA even in my late 20's! (Love your blog, too--it's on my blogroll!)
