Only two weeks ago, life was all too predictable. But that was before I saw my first ghost. Now along with my supernatural friends Tori, Derek, and Simon, I’m on the run from the Edison Group, which genetically altered us as part of their sinister experiment. We’re hiding in a safe house that might not be as safe as it seems. We’ll be gone soon anyway, back to rescue those we’d left behind and take out the Edison Group … or so we hope too.

The Darkest Powers trilogy, by Kelley Armstrong, comes to a thrilling, but slightly disappointing (in some ways), conclusion in The Reckoning. The adventures, and misadventures, of Chloe Saunders and her friends take a new direction in The Reckoning. Finally they have adult supernaturals teaching them how to manage their powers, and searching for a way to bring down the Edison Group and save their family/friends. Except for one problem, their powers are much stronger than anyone expected and suddenly Chloe and her friends are a danger…to everyone.

Chloe Saunders is a living science experiment—not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. She’s a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control,which means she can raise the dead without even trying. Now Chloe’s running for her life with three of her supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and they have to find someone who can help them before the Edison Group catches them. Or die trying…

Kelley Armstrong continues her mind capturing Darkest Powers trilogy in The Awakening. Chloe Saunders, a fifteen year old new to her powers as anecromancer, was betrayed to the Edison Group at the end of The Awakening. While there Chloe learns she and her friends are genetically altered supernaturals, part of an experiment called Genesis II.

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again.
All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary.
I don’t even know what that means anymore.
It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me.
Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won’t leave me alone.
To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a “special home” for troubled teens.
Yet the home isn’t what it seems.
Don’t tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye.
The question is, whose side are they on?
It’s up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House … before its skeletons come back to haunt me…
The thing is how do I know who’s on my side or who’s betraying me?

Kelley Armstrong’s latest supernatural series for young adults is the Darkest Powers trilogy series. The first book, The Summoning, was released in 2008 and follows the adventure of 15 year old Chloe Saunders as puberty hits, brining much more than monthly cramps and a few pimples.
