Secretly, she even believes that he has been calling for the death of the mother is with the education and therefore it goes out of his way.

opinion:
From the first page of this book captivated me. It starts normally with Chloe, who is pretty clear early on that she is not particularly to see even left in the circle of her friends as. But as readers we know quickly through the prologue, the Chloe has a mystery for whom it is even in the course of the book on the track.
When she arrived in Lyle House wants, otherwise they will be released as soon as possible, so they also denies seeing ghosts. But the votes they can not let go. And not only the spirits follow Chloe, but also the rude Derek, who is anything but loved by all the pretty boy. He and his brother Simon, for reasons that Chloe more and more interested in Lyle House. It must be something wrong with Derek is, for they quickly realize he is antisocial and remarkably strong. But what lies behind Simon, who is nice and open? As Chloe is in search of answers makes it learns more and more about yourself And I especially liked that she admits is not often a wink of the most experienced person to be, because she grew up very close supervision. In the most comical situations, they tend also to be compared with all films, or to describe as a scene. Chloe has a small film-Spleen, who has made me very sympathetic. Although they sometimes afraid, or do not understand everything at first glance, it is fighting through and trying not to give up. It is one of the few female characters I liked all around and I am extremely pleased followed through history.
Chloe addition, there are Derek mentioned above, the very different from the stereotype the love interest is. Derek put outside in the middle of puberty: he is too big, has a shower and have severe acne permanently. He is also often a creep. Nevertheless, I have it very quickly to my heart, as Kelley Armstrong has succeeded in bringing about the reasons for his behavior succeeds in convincingly. Yes, he is often repellent, and a little too honest, but if you need Derek, he is there, and puts the safety of others on his own. When he spoke volumes of the works.
Then there's his brother Simon, who is at first glance so different from Derek. Simon is polite and open. Why is he in Lyle House, remains long unclear. Simon also I liked, even if it is not as interesting as Derek. I especially like the brother but the relationship which plays a central role in the behavior of the two.
Three other girls are housed together with Chloe at Lyle House. Liz, from which one sees but unfortunately not too much. Rae, when I do not yet whether you can trust one hundred percent. And Tori, which shines through some very bitchy and hurtful compounds in the management of Lyle House. I am very excited about what is yet to come to these three characters, because their stories seem to be still not begin to tell.
Kelley Armstrong has a very fluid and exciting writing style. I found the story really interesting and every conversation, every event seems to be important in this book, what really captivated me about it. But I had also read out quickly and therefore remained curious. The end suggests for further reading, but not in a pushy way for so used to do some first volumes of series. It is a successful end, are the answers, but also leaves open questions that you would like to know answers.
only drawback to the book is not at the expense of the author herself, but the translation. I've been there for three wishes you noticed free from Jackson Pearce for some reason the American Yeah never translated into German. After some time I have really bothersome, because it inhibits the flow of reading a little. Since it is a German translation, this should be also taken consistently - which means for me to write instead of Yeah Yeah.
shadow hour, the first part of the series "The dark powers." The second part of "soul night" was released late last year and is already, with the third part of "hell-gloss," which appears in June 2011, on my wish list. I have nothing at this point to suspend, but I am curious if Kelley Armstrong may sit on another can not, so I do not give full credit.
Those looking for a story with a paranormal background, great characters and an interesting story is well advised to shadow hour. Kelley Armstrong has written this book in the loose circle of my favorite authors, and youth will probably stay there for a long time.
