Description

My name is Chloe Saunders. I'm fifteen, and I would love to be normal.

But normal is one thing I'm not.

For one thing, I'm having these feelings for a certain antisocial werewolf and his sweet-tempered brother—who just happens to be a sorcerer—but, between you and me, I'm leaning toward the werewolf.

Not normal.

My friends and I are also on the run from an evil corporation that wants to get rid of us—permanently.

Definitely not normal.

And finally, I'm a genetically altered necro-mancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying.

As far away from normal as it gets.

Praise For The Reckoning

For THE SUMMONING: “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

“This nail-biting climax to the series continues to captivate readers with its edge-of-one’s-seat pacing. Armstrong’s story is full of action, romance, deception, and intrigue as well as complex characters and serious teenage issues. A satisfying addition for fans of the supernatural.”
-School Library Journal

For THE SUMMONING“Suspenseful, well-written and engaging.”
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

For THE AWAKENING: “Kelley Armstrong has created a gritty, realistic world both teen and adult readers will enjoy. Edge-of-the-seat reading, with plenty of surprises. I want the next installment now!”
-Kim Harrison

For THE AWAKENING: “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

For THE AWAKENING: “Armstrong’s vermiculate plot will exhilarate even readers new to the series...Teens grappling with their own transformations and alienating individuality will certainly follow these characters to the book’s final pages and into the next volume.”
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

For THE SUMMONING: “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)
