Monday Giveaway: The Summoning

*** contest over and the winner is Raychelle! ***

This week I'm giving away a particular favorite. The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong is the first in her Darkest Powers trilogy and it is downright awesome. And, guess what, this one is signed!

Chloe Saunders sees dead people. Yes, like in the films. The problem is, in real life saying you see ghosts gets you a one-way ticket to the psych ward. And at 15, all Chloe wants to do is fit in at school and maybe get a boy to notice her. But when a particularly violent ghost haunts her, she gets noticed for all the wrong reasons. Her seemingly crazed behaviour earns her a trip to Lyle House, a centre for disturbed teens.

At first Chloe is determined to keep her head down. But then her room mate disappears after confessing she has a poltergeist, and some of the other patients also seem to be manifesting paranormal behaviour. Could that be a coincidence? Or is Lyle House not quite what it seems…? Chloe realizes that if she doesn’t uncover the truth, she could be destined for a lifetime in a psychiatric hospital. Or could her fate be even worse…? Can she trust her fellow students, and does she dare reveal her dark secret?

As always, comment to enter. This week tell me if you'd rather be normal... or paranormal. I'm a writer, so you can probably guess my answer! (Facebook and Goodreads readers please click over to Blogger.)
