After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. She is attending art school, pursuing her dreams of becoming a director, making friends, meeting boys. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere, demanding her attention. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home.
At first, Lyle House seems a pretty okay place, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home–charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek, obnoxious Tori, and Rae, who has a “thing” for fire–Chloe begins to realize that there is something that binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual “problem kid” behaviour. And together they discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home either…

I am I huge fan of Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series and when she came out with an Y.A. series set in the same world I was completely psyched and I am happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed!
For Chloe growing up means more than what it would for any other teenager. Strange things are happening and she finds herself sent to a private institution where she doesn’t feels safe, at all and where she finally finds out secrets from her past that she’d rather hadn’t come to surface.
The Darkest Powers trilogy is a perfect example of how awesome the Paranormal Y.A. genre can be. Great heroine, interesting side characters, heinous villains and a love triangle that makes you want to pull your hair out but that also makes your heart bleed and beat faster, all at the same time.
If you love Paranormal Y.A. novels this is definitely a series that you should check it out! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
