Chloe Saunders used to be a normal teenage girl – or so she thought. Then she learned the shocking truth – she is a walking science experiment. Genetically altered at birth by a sinister group of scientists known as the Edison Group, Chloe is an aberration – a powerful necromancer who can see ghosts and even raise the dead, often with terrifying consequences.

Even worse, her growing powers have made her a threat to the surviving members of the Edison Group, who have decided it's time to end their experiment – permanently.

Now Chloe is running for her life with three other supernatural teenagers – a charming sorcerer, a troubled werewolf, and a temperamental young witch. Together they have a chance for freedom – but can Chloe trust her new friends?

The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong is a thrilling journey into the world of the supernatural, where Chloe must navigate danger at every turn.
