Chloe and Derek. Derek and Chloe. Sigh. That's all I have to say. 
 Well, not really, but, seriously, is there any other reason to read these books? Yeah, there are other reasons, but these two make the trilogy for me. I probably wouldn't love it so much if it weren't for these two. I love love love their build up! If they don't end up together.... Actually, I'm not going to even have that thought, because them not ending up together wouldn't make any sense. They care about each other so much, and they just explode right off of the pages. 
 Gushing aside, I think The Awakening is a lot better than The Summoning, because there's more going on. Not only is there more Chloe and Derek (<3), there's more action, there's more suspense, and there's more creepiness. There are a few parts in this book that did give me some chills. I was completely sucked in and everything felt like it was actually happening. I'm not ready to leave this world yet, or the characters, but I have to start on The Reckoning! I'm officially in love with this trilogy!
