About this listen

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.

This book is most definitely YA but as an adult, I still really enjoyed it. The characters are both likable and easy to connect with while the plot is fast and compelling. Narration is also great!

Really good!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I really like the female lead. She exhibits the overall teen experience of trying to find your own identity.

Interesting start

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I did enjoy this book even though it was written for a young audience. I think Audible should have made it a little clearer, that this book was written for young adults.

Youthful

I bought the next book as I could not wait to hear the remainder of the story. The narrators voice kept my attention.

Can't wait to listen to the next book

I picked this up orginally back in 2007 or 08, back when the Twilight series was in full swing, I couldn't stand those books, but saw this and decided to give it a read. Fell in love with the characters (except the villains and Tori) right away! This version was well spoken and I hung on every word! It was like reading this for the first time, all over again! Definitely going to get the other volumes.

Love this series!

I love this book this is probably at least the fifth or sixth time I read it I read it for the first time I was in junior high which is probably the age of this book is for even though I am 24 reading it again. Anyone who likes supernatural this is a good book series for you. And I love how it combines up with another series later.

Joy to read again and again

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The ending was a random stoping point. It would be a awesome story if the end had been thought out.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked the story most of it was interesting.

Could you see The Summoning being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes I could see it being made into a TV series.

No ending

darkest powers and darkness rising series are my absolute FAVORITES to read. I want to listen to the Audible books but I cannot afford the $15/month. I was wondering if there is a way to purchase Audible books WITHOUT being a member

Favorite Series

The first part of the book almost lost me, but a bit into it it got me back and ended up being a really good book.
