Book description
Okay, so you've heard of Chloe, right? The girl who thought she was just... normal? Yeah, that's so yesterday. In The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2), she's officially the most terrifyingly powerful teenage necromancer you'll ever meet-and she didn't ask for this. She's running for her life with three super-powered friends (a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf who's so over this, and a witch who's basically done with everyone), all while trying to figure out how to not accidentally resurrect a whole cemetery. Seriously, that's the vibe.
The audiobook? Absolute gold. The narrator nails Chloe's voice-her panic, her exhaustion, that mix of "I can't believe this is my life" and "I'm kinda awesome at this." You hear the fear in her voice when she's hiding, the sarcasm when she's talking to her snarky werewolf buddy, and the sheer dread when she realizes her powers are going haywire again. It's not just reading the words-it's feeling like you're right there, heart pounding, trying not to accidentally raise a ghost at the diner. (Spoiler: You totally do.)
Kelley Armstrong's background? Perfectly on-brand. She's been writing about ghosts and demons since she was tiny, and it shows-she doesn't just give you a cool plot, she gives you a world that feels real, messy, and terrifyingly possible. The "Edison Group" isn't just a creepy lab; it's the kind of organization that makes you check your phone twice to make sure your own DNA isn't being tested. And Chloe? She's not some perfect chosen one. She's scared, she's confused, she's trying to keep her friends safe while dealing with powers that feel like they're trying to eat her from the inside out. You root for her hard.
The best part? The friendship dynamic. You get the banter, the tension, the moments where you're like, "Okay, but why are you still arguing about this while being chased by shadowy scientists?" It's not just about the powers-it's about finding your people when the whole world's against you. And the narrator makes those moments sing. You can hear the sarcasm in the werewolf's voice, feel the witch's quiet loyalty, and catch the sorcerer's easy charm. It's like having a group of your weirdest, most loyal friends whispering in your ear while you're dodging danger.
If you love YA that's got heart, humor, and a healthy dose of "oh crap, what have I done?!" this audiobook is pure magic. It's not just a book you listen to-it's a story that grabs you by the shoulders, shakes you a little, and says, "Yeah, this is way more fun than being normal." Trust me, you'll be hitting "next chapter" before you even realize you've been listening for an hour. And honestly? Chloe's story is way more interesting than anything you'll find on a boring, normal school bus. Get this one. You won't regret it.
