Description

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.

    I loved this trilogy, but was disappointed in book 3. Felt like the author lost interest in the story and just wanted to get it over with. Don't get me wrong - book 3 was still a good read, but I personally just wanted her to delve deeper into the wolfpacks. Anywho, I think it was cool though because if she wanted to, she can still go back and write more on those characters. Armstrong knows how to write interesting and cool stories. From what I remember, it was like the supernatural teen xmen, but different and didn't feel like any other stories of that time. It was unique and I was enthralled.

    The use of character development for all characters, but especially Derek; is unbelievable. Chloe is so easy to relate to, even though she's got powers that are beyond us all. Armstrong's writing will have you wanting your own antisocial werewolf. ;)
  • Love it :)

    This book is just an adventerous, I'm not saying its like Harry Potter or Twilight. It's different and the plot line - great. Though after reading the entire series this book reigns my favorite. The differentness of it is refreshing! Five stars: no doubt. (worth every penny!) :)
  • AWESOME! I
