MY RATING: 5 Stars
DESCRIPTION:Only two weeks ago, life was all too predictable. But that was before I saw my first ghost. Now, along with my supernatural friends Tori, Derek, and Simon, I’m on the run from the Edison Group, which genetically altered us as part of their sinister experiment. We’re hiding in a safe house that might not be as safe as it seems. We’ll be gone soon anyway, back to rescue those we’d left behind and to take out the Edison Group . . . or so we hope.
MY REVIEW:
This entire series is amazing. Honestly, I couldn't pick which book is my favorite. Each one is full of mystery, suspense, and intrigue. I love the characters. I love the writing style. I love the action. This is now one of my favorite series that I have ever read. Awesome books.
If you haven't read the first book, then maybe you should stop here and go read it. NOW! I hate to spoil the suspense of reading the first book because you read on in this review.
~~~~SPOILER OF FIRST BOOK IN THE DARKEST POWERS SERIES~~~~
Chloe the Necromancer – the main character. She is unique. She can be insecure and unsure of herself, but, throughout the books, she grows and matures and discovers who she really is. She establishes her powers of being a very strong necromancer – the strongest of her kind. She can force souls to enter their dead bodies and turn them into zombies – which she hates and tries really hard not to do, but has a hard time controlling her powers at times. Throughout the book, not only do we see her powers grow and her being able to control them, but we see her grow and become someone who’s strong and intelligent. I love how her and Derek are always bickering at each other. It brought a smile to my face every time.
Derek the Werewolf. When we first meet Derek, we think he's cruel and a big bully, who always stinks and has really bad acne. Not the type you would think Chloe could possibly have any interest in. But, when we really learn more Derek, and his loyalty, you can't help but fall deeply in-love with him and feel sorry for the way the world shuns him because he is a werewolf – a very strong werewolf. Derek is the leader type. I makes the big decisions and expects everyone to fall the rules – which Chloe has a hard time with. He is intelligent and will do anything to make sure his brother, Simon, and Chloe are safe – Tori on occasion, he doesn’t trust her much. He is loyal and really protective. He’s the kind of guy that would jump in the line of fire for you.
Simon the Warlock. He isn't like the others and is able to control his powers. He and Derek were raised as brothers and are really close. They would both do anything for the other. Simon has a big crush on Chloe, who also believes she has a crush on him, but seems to really be falling for the - gasp - werewolf. Simon is friendly and always tries to do the right thing.
Tori the Witch. Tori is crazy. In the first book, she is obsessed with Simon and hates Chloe because Simon likes Chloe and not her. She's mean and vindictive. Then we get to meet the real Tori. She's beautiful and the popular type on the outside, but on the inside, she's a mess. Her mother's crazy and tries to kill her, her 'father' turns his back on her and she has no friends. So she tags along with the other three, who mostly are unsure if they can trust her, and finally finds a place in life - and friends, though she won't admit it out loud. She does a complete change during the series.
There are other characters in this story that I adore, but these are the main ones. I loved each and every one of them - even Tori. These are books that I would read time and time again. Each of them got 5 stars from me.
