Chloe Saunders knows she isn't crazy. So why is she put in a center for disturbed teens? Well....for one thing she isn't really "normal". Chloe sees dead people. At Lyle House, Chloe notices there is something off about Lyle House. Chloe only wanted to "recover" and get out of there a.s.a.p. But when her room mate disappears, after confessing her secret, Chloe can't just leave. Chloe, along with her fellow room mates, must uncover the truth, even if it means unveiling her secret.

I gave this book 5 stars because I remember checking it out last summer and I was captivated. Yeah, it might be like any other paranormal series/book yet it's so different. Armstrong's characters captivated me like no other. I felt that unlike other paranormal books, Armstrong didn't make her characters perfect, they had flaws from the very beginning. To me that shows that no one is or will ever be perfect. That's reality. I liked that. Haha. I loved the plot and overall enjoyed reading this book!

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer - a review by George Morejon

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

by Lish McBride

**** stars

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer starts off introducing Sam and his 3 friends, Ramon, Brooke, and Frank. They all work at a McDonald's like fast food place and love to slack off and fool around. One day this becomes a problem when a game gone wrong leads to Sam being tracked by a strange, terrifying man. After being scared out of his life when a man attacks him, he thinks he's finally safe... Until he gets the most disturbing message of his life telling him to met a man named "Douglas" at the zoo, where he finds out what he really is: a necromancer.

This took me about 6,5 hours to read. From the first chapter i liked this book. The way the kids acted was really relatable and hilarious at the same time. It reminded me of Going Bovine, although the writing style wasn't as good. The necromancer thing wasn't something I had ever read, but the way that so many people he talked to knew just what he was talking about kinda surprised me. I felt bad to the person that 'had' the message, but her reaction was pretty positive in their outlook.
