The Summoning

The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong.

15-year-old Chloe Saunders runs screaming in terror down the school halls. Is she seeing the horribly burned, but dead school janitor, or is she in the beginning stages of schizophrenia? Her concerned family sends her to Lyle House, a temporary home for "troubled" teens. In most ways, Chloe is just your average teenager - she wants to belong and she wants to get better so she can get back to her normal life. However, Lyle House is hiding more than one secret and they may be deadly. The author has written a fantastically taunt story with fully developed characters and a plot that leaves the reader riveted to the book all the way to the end.
