I found The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong a very interesting book. Having just finished it today, I can't wait to read the sequel.
The Summoning is a book about a girl named Chloe Saunders. Her life is easy and basic, except for the loss of her mother, and a rich father that is never there. The only one that seems to care about her is her Aunt Lauren. One, day she is chased by a ghost. She passes out and wakes up in the hospital. She is shipped off to the Lyle House, a home for troubled kids. Her room mate is happy Liz, who seems perfectly normal. She's not. She believes she has a poltergeist, and is accused of throwing a pencil at a teacher and dumping bottles all over Chloe. She is 'transferred' to another home. Chloe makes friends with protective Simon, pyromaniac Rae and violent Derek. She makes an enemy of moody, drugged up Tori. With a secret, locked door in the basement and a mysterious founder, what other secrets does Lyle House, and it's occupants hide.
I give the Summoning 5 stars. It's a story full of mystery, and some strange paranormal activity. The characters are interesting and deep, each struggling with their home life beyond the Lyle House, if they ever leave that is.
