This is book 1 in a new supernatural teen series. Armstrong has written many books for adults, my favourite is Exit Strategy with an ex-cop hitwoman dispensing justice for a fee, (the book reads better than my blurb does), but this is her first foray into teen literature.
The main character, Chloe, has just turned fifteen, she's also just gotten her period, and that seems to have triggered something in her mind because now she see's ghosts, she talks to ghosts, she has to defend herself against the nastier grumpier ghosts - and it's driving her mad. Because ghosts don't exist, right? But for Chloe they're very real and her abilities, along with a group of teens who also have different supernatural abilities, have gotten them all locked up in Lyle House. This isn't your ordinary teen home and living there will be deadly.
I really enjoyed this book and I'm about to read the second in the series. It's a nice comfy read. There's no real tension, just curiosity over how they'll survive and what Chloe really is. It's a great teen book, the perfect blend of supernatural and teen lifestyle.
