Teaser Tuesday: The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

•
Kelley Armstrong is one of favourite authors. I love her Nadia Stafford books, and her Otherworld books, but I hadn't yet read her YA trilogy, but I am rectifying that at the moment. This book, The Summoning, is the first book in the Darkest Powers trilogy.

My teaser comes from page 48:

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!


Speaking of Kelley Armstrong, if you are a fan of the Otherworld series, did you realise that she has recently put up a graphic novella on her website called Becoming, which tells the story of Elena, after she was bitten.

    Sally, try the Nadia Stafford books. They are about a female hitman, which you would think would be hard to make sympathetic, but she really does!
