About this ebook
'Terrifying ghosts, smatterings of gore and diverse teen voices will prompt young adults to pick up the next in this series.' - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
'Action, danger, supernatural secrets, and a hint of romance--Armstrong's world is one in which trusting the wrong person can have dire consequences. You'll be desperate for a sequel.' - Melissa Marr
All Chloe Saunders wants is a life like any normal teenager - the chance to get through school, make friends, and maybe meet a boy. But when she starts seeing ghosts, she knows that life will never be normal again.
Soon ghosts are everywhere, demanding her attention.
When Chloe finally breaks down, she's admitted to a group home for disturbed kids. At first Lyle House seems okay, but as she gets to know the other patients - charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek; obnoxious Tori; and Rae, who has a 'thing' for fire - Chloe begins to realise that something strange and sinister binds them all together, and it isn't your usual 'problem kid' behaviour.
And they're about to discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home, either . . .
The first book in the Darkest Powers trilogy - the first YA series by #1 bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.

I found this book, as a young teen, when the series first began. I've read the series again and again, still reading it now as a 23 year old. The story never becomes boring, the characters so full of life as if it was my first time meeting them. Everytime I am satisfied and yet saddend by the ending. Aching for more. Then i just have to read it again!
