What this book is about
In the second Darkest Powers novel, Chloe Saunders and her companions—Derek, Simon, and Tori—are on the run from the Edison Group while trying to understand what was done to them. Chloe's abilities as a necromancer are growing, and the answer to what the Group did to enhance them is increasingly disturbing. Armstrong's YA supernatural series continues with confident character work and a genuine sense of thriller momentum.
