young.
charming.
mystery.
I never quite know where this story is going. I was pleasantly surprised with the evolution of many characters in this book, and one relationship in particular. While I enjoyed this book more than the first, I have to admit I've lost interest in the series, even if only temporarily until I run out of on-hand recommends to keep me busy. Now, life might go on just fine without knowing how the plot resolves. At times the series has showed such promise, but I keep coming back to the problem that the content is not captivating me. It seems like the same predictable and creepy things keep happening, and while there is little progress, so much stays the same, and so much stays unclear. I would recommend this series to a 15 year old girl though, and will certainly read the final book just to wrap it up with a pretty little bow. I must admit I'm still wanting to know what will happen, even though the plot has been painfully slow to progress.

The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
magic.
conspiracy.
juvenile.
I would've liked this book a LOT better if I had been fifteen years old when I read it. I typically enjoy young adult fiction, just because its likely to be free of unnecessary vulgarity. This method hasn't steered me wrong yet, but this book comes off as a little too juvenile for me.
It was a little creepy at times so not necessarily ideal for young youth, but it just seemed to me like a storyline that I've heard too many times in too many ways to enjoy the "surprise and suspense" of it all.
That being said, I am 89% sure that I will read the next book in the series because it seemed like the story was just finalled starting to unfold when the book abruptly ended. Of course I want to know what happens, but I won't be scurrying madly to ensure I'm reading book two tonight. I'll casually wait to get it into my hands and read it at some point in the not-too-distant future.
For me,
3.5 out of 5 stars
