Finished The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong for the New Author Challenge.
If you liked Twilight, you'll like this one too. (Although I think Kelley Armstrong's a better writer and the characters--especially the female ones--are...well, cooler than Bella.
(Please don't attack me, rabid Twilight fans. I liked that series too.)
Anyway. The Summoning is about Chloe, a 15-year-old who suddenly starts seeing ghosts (although according to the prologue, she saw them when she was young too, but her parents called them her imaginary friends). Because she freaks out (not surprising, really) and was in the middle of school, she gets sent to a special place (school for teens with special problems) and is told that she has schizophrenia, but if she takes her meds, she'll be just fine.
Except the other teens seem to have special abilities too.
Really fun book, except it ended with a pretty huge cliffhanger. Fortunately, the next book comes out in April--towards the end of April, granted, but it's still much closer than book two of Hunger Games. :)
