Review
"The Awakening' is an even better read than 'The Summoning.' Chloe and her fellow supernatural teens struggle to find someone who will help them combat the group that's trying to take them hostage, and there's never a slow moment in their journey or a false line in Armstrong's writing.' Charlaine Harris

Review
"[The Awakening] hits the ground running, leaving readers tripping, stumbling and racing to keep up.... Will exhilarate even readers new to the series."
-- "Kirkus" starred review
"Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre."

Format:Paperback
Not too long ago, Chloe Saunders was an ordinary teenage girl with dreams of making movies when she got older.
Today she is a necromancer who has no idea how to control her powers or even what all of her powers are.
In book one of the DARKEST POWERS series, THE SUMMONING, Chloe and several of her friends escaped from the group home they had been living in. Now, Chloe and Rae are recaptured by the Edison Group, a shady organization that has genetically altered them to try and make use of the powers that many of them were born with.
I found THE AWAKENING to be well-written, descriptive, and thoroughly engaging. This book had soul-searching, action, and even a little teen angst - although it only had a little to do with being a teen and a lot to do with being a supernatural with very little control over their lives or their powers.
I would definitely recommend this book to others. Kelley Armstrong already has two popular adult series under her belt, and this is well on its way to being her third, and hopefully only the first for teens! I hope to see much more from her in the future.

As a huge fan of Kelley's work any book that lands with her name on automatically moves its way up the reading pile to give me some pure reading pleasure. Yet with three series on the go, and with a punishing publishing schedule you do wonder if quality is being sacrificed for quantity.
All these questions and more (mainly to do with the cliff-hanger from the original tale in the Darkest Powers series) were bubbling as I began the opening chapter to quickly find I was sucked straight back into this YA series through the eyes of the protagonista. It's a definite must buy for fans of Kelley and a great way to have an adult author bridge the gap between children's books to Young Adult with this addictive telling. Exciting, emotional and above all a story to thrill you long after the final page is turned as you sit to imagine what will happen to the characters next. A must own.

This book was much better than The Summoning (Darkest Powers).
All the way through this book I am thinking "CHLOE AND DEREK WILL YOU PLEASE JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY." If you don't mind some minor spoilers then read on, but if you do mind, click on the link for the summoning because this series is BRILL!!
After escaping from the Edison Group, Chloe and her friends are now on the run and a each chapter goes along it becomes apparant that Simon AND Derek have a crush on Chloe.
What is the poltergeist asking Chloe to do...
What happened to Chloe's aunt...
Will Chloe turn into a werewolf...

My favourite books of all time!
Im not what you'd call the best at reading, I struggle to get into books and it takes me weeks, even months to finish them. I suppose I'm probably a bit on the dyslexic side. Read more

I liked this book more than the first book in the trilogy
In The Awakening more action and intense drama occurs. As well as major character development. Since, Tori, Chloe, Derek, and Simon's powers began to involve steadily in the book. Read more

Kelley Armstrong is the best
I have not read it yet, as I am still reading the Summoning, which is great.
Kelley is an excellent writer and I have read most of her books.
