Book description
Chloe Saunders just wanted normal: friends, boys, maybe a decent pizza. Instead, she's got ghosts as her new, incredibly judgmental roommates. And a group home that's basically a haunted house with a "special" vibe. Sound familiar? It's not. The Summoning is like if your favorite YA novel got a caffeine shot and a ghostly sidekick.
Kelley Armstrong (who writes in a basement dungeon, apparently, because of course she does) nails that perfect blend of "oh crap, I'm being hunted by supernatural teens" and "why can't I just go to the mall?" Chloe's voice is pure, relatable panic-imagine trying to explain your ghost problem to your mom while dodging a demon. The audiobook? Absolute gold. You hear her breath catch when a ghost whispers "You see me," you feel the dread as Lyle House's secrets unfold. The narrator nails Chloe's sarcastic exhaustion ("I just wanted to be ordinary. Now I'm being hunted by ghosts and my new housemates who might be aliens?") without ever tipping into melodrama.
Armstrong's genius is making the supernatural feel real, not just scary. The ghosts aren't just spooky-they're annoying, weirdly polite, and definitely not on Chloe's side (yet). And Lyle House? It's less "group home," more "supernatural mystery box with a bad interior decorator." You'll be leaning into your headphones, whispering "Wait, what?" as secrets pile up faster than Chloe can say "I don't want to be the girl who sees dead people."
The best part? It's not just a ghost story. It's Chloe realizing she's not broken-she's just... way more interesting than she thought. And honestly? You'll be rooting for her like she's your chaotic, ghost-seeing bestie. The audiobook's pacing is spot-on, the humor sharp (ghosts judging her fashion? Chef's kiss), and by the end, you'll be screaming at the speaker, "WHY IS THIS SO GOOD?!" and hitting "next episode" before you've even finished your coffee. If you've ever wondered what happens when your life gets weirder than a bad reality show, The Summoning is your answer. Press play. You won't regret it. (And yeah, the basement dungeon thing? Still kinda hilarious.)
