About this listen

"If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl, someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets.....

"A living science experiment, not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.

"Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends: a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch, and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying."

Super cute YA series!

I'm in my 30s but LOVE YA paranormal books. My 13 year old niece and I share many books, and this is a Trilogy I can't wait to share with her.
Funny and heartfelt, the characters are mostly believable and grow on you quickly.
After finishing all 3 books I will say that I was disappointed to find out that Kelley Armstrong is not writing any more of these books, as it was meant to be only a trilogy. Several story lines are all tied up sweetly, but there are several others left hanging. A few things were never explained, even though they were mentioned and hinted at several times throughout the books. Still, cute books with minimal foul language (actually I can't remember if any bad words were used!) I also don't think there was any underage drinking, any drugs, and no sex! Perfect books for the young paranormal story lovers!

LOVE, LOVE. LOVE IT!!!

I found the reader VERY fresh, fun and a pleasure to listen to. As for the book; It was so suspenseful that that I found myself up at 3am to download book two in this series to hear what happens next to these group of Supernaturals Teens!. I am a kid a heart but I really think that this series, like many series crosses that line and is for anyone who wants to listen to a GREAT STORY...I definitely found myself relating to the characters very much - 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!
