4th cover:
If Chloe was in a movie person would doubt her when she admits seeing ghosts. In real life, her father and her aunt sent to Lyle House, a psychiatric specialist for teens. Doctors there say she suffers from schizophrenia ...
But residents seem to hide a few secrets too ... It is surely no coincidence. So when one of his comrades told him that she is perhaps necromancer, she decides to discover the truth about power and about the strange place where she is confined.
Firstly thank you to Livraddict and editions Castelmore for this partnership.
I had never read Kelly Armstrong but had heard much of his saga Women's Otherland. The output of the series for young adults an opportunity to discover this author. In addition, coverage is great and makes me want to dive into history.
Chloe has lived a pretty normal life until a ghost continue in the corridors of his school. That's when overnight she found herself in a home for adolescents suffering from psychological problems. But his roommates also seem to have peculiarities.
The beginning is captivating. We discover Chloe when she was only three years and she was frightened by darkness populated by ghosts ... But twelve years after the nightmarish visions reappear and Chloe is gradually becoming aware of its powers or feel like his family and doctors of his psychological problems.
Chloe is a teenager like everyone else, not very resourceful and rather naive.
The other characters are also rather simple without special features, but they will gradually take the size and assertiveness.
Lizz is rather talkative and bubbly. This is the first meeting of residents that Chloe but she will not stay long the institute.
Rae quickly becomes a friend for Chloe, she can confide in her and then finds some comfort in Lyle House.
Derek is rather mysterious. He is very tall and speaks little square that is uncomfortable his roommates. He is always with his adopted brother Simon who is much friendlier than he. We discover the institute
Lyle House at the same time as heroin and it is a bit lost in meeting all these characters at once.
The story is not very original, teenagers who get together and discover they have supernatural powers is common seen and reviewed. That's why I'm a little bored. The daily life of residents in Lyle House is repetitive and there is some length in the narrative.
The characters are stereotyped and surprises are few.
However my interest in the novel has increased at the end of the story. The suspense is to go and finally we have made startling revelations. The twists keep coming and the novel ends on a cliffhanger that makes you want to read more.
The author's style is simple and enjoyable. The chapters are very short and many dialogues which the narrative pace. I read very quickly especially at the end when the story becomes more interesting.
Despite a dip is a promising first volume when closed makes me want to dive into the second volume. Again thank you to
and
