Win A Signed Copy of The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

Thanks to my recent adventure at the Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention I have some Awesome goodies that I will be giving away over the next few weeks. I met some kick ass authors and had some pretty amazing conversations with them. They also gave me some books to give away to their fans. You can see my video of the event HERE of all the authors that could be in my next givaway.

(Amy McElfresh, Kelley Armstrong, Annie McElfresh)

So I'll start off with a giveaway on my personal blog of  a signed copy of Kelley Armstrong's THE SUMMONING. This is the first book in the series.

The first book completely sucked me in and I love, love, loved it! If you haven't read the first book in the darkest powers series, here's the plot:

From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up—"A well-written opening to a paranormal series. Chloe, 15, has the ability to see dead people, but before she can figure out what is happening, she has a breakdown, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and placed in a group home. She befriends some of the teens at Lyle House and tries to accept her treatment. However, two of her more mysterious housemates suggest that maybe she isn't crazy. Derek tells her to look up necromancy on the Internet, and she finds out that it's the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. He appears to have superstrength, and his foster brother has magical powers. Chloe's roommate, who causes things to fly around the room when she becomes angry, is taken away to a hospital and never heard from again. When she returns in Chloe's visions, Chloe suspects foul play, a misgiving confirmed when the dead speak to her again and reveal that they were "supernaturals" who were experimented on, killed, and buried in the home's basement many years before. Together with her new friends, Chloe escapes Lyle House, only to be betrayed. This suspenseful novel sets up a secret underworld where some people support and help supernaturals, while others persecute them. Armstrong combines bits of horror, teen relationships, and a dash of mystery to create a page-turner. Readers will look forward to the next installment."—Corinda J.
