The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2)
by
The second book in the Darkest Powers series is just as engaging as the first, more creepy action and a more Derek. I am in love with this boy, I wanna go in the book and drop kick Chloe, so she can see what she is missing. I will say they have a lot of scenes alone together and they make me very happy.
For all y’all who don’t know Chloe is a new discovered necromancer ( able to awaken the dead), first she thought she was schizo but it was discovered that the home she was sent to after experiencing seeing a ghost, were finding ways to harvest her powers. Well after breaking loose, Chloe and her entourage are now on the run. We have Tori the sarcastic rich girl, Simon the ever so sweet gentleman, Derek the leader and authority figure of the group, and of course sweet and naïve Chloe.
Its interesting to see these very young people go out and fend for themselves. They no longer can call parents for help because they might be placed in danger, some are the bad guys and others have already gone missing. Everyday is a journey of survival and new realities. Plus this foursome bring the laughs and good times.
Kelley Armstrong is able to grab the reader and never let go, the relationships are real and very sweet. I am blown away by how a guy described as being ugly, can come off as the sexiest being. What this book lacks is romance but it is there if you manage to read between the lines. Overall an action packed book, with creepy dead things and just a pure thrilling ride.
Peeved- They talk about a necklace and I have yet to see the significance, all I know is the color has changed.

"Alas Derek has returned, I missed him. I still dont get it, I keep hoping for some romance, but nada. Lots of happy things happening in my head though, and this proves i should stay away from YA novels. Really shows my perve side. LMAO!"

"So this book is oh so graphic, when it comes to violence and all that. Would it kill for a little make out action. Gawd, I am so starved for some loving, thats all this series needs."

(1- 10) I rate a 11.

But Chloe and Derek are meant for each other.
