The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong is the first in her "Darkest Powers" series for young adults. The book introduces the character of Chloe, and how the young girl finds out she's not who she thought she was. Armstrong sets the series in the same world she created in her "Women of the Otherworld" series, and I appreciated the linear transition. Armstrong doesn't "write down" to her audience, and she masterfully explores the implications of being a young supernatural in the world she has already established. Recommended for teens and adults who enjoy supernatural fiction.
