Chloe Saunders used to be a normal teenage girl – or so she thought. Then she learned the shocking truth – she is a walking science experiment. Genetically altered at birth by a sinister group of scientists known as the Edison Group, Chloe is an aberration – a powerful necromancer who can see ghosts and even raise the dead, often with terrifying consequences. Even worse, her growing powers have made her a threat to the surviving members of the Edison Group, who have decided it’s time to end their experiment – permanently . . .
Now Chloe is running for her life with three other supernatural teenagers – a charming sorcerer, a troubled werewolf and a temperamental young witch. Together they have a chance for freedom – but can Chloe trust her new friends?

Reviews
Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre.
A page-turner. Readers will anticipate the book to follow.
Action, danger, supernatural secrets, and a hint of romance --.Armstrong's world is one in which trusting the wrong person can have dire consequences.
..splendidly haunting, with hair-raising suspense, disturbing effects, and a running undercurrent of unease.
Suspenseful, well-written and engaging.
