The Gathering | October 11, 2011

by Kelley Armstrong (HarperCollins, Apr. 2011)

This week, I am immersed, obsessed, and pretty much living in the world of The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong. I mean, I was expecting it—hello, it’s Kelley Armstrong! It’s a different kind of being sucked-in than I expected after her Darkest Powers series, but in a way that feels spot-on. In The Gathering, sixteen-year-old Maya lives with her parents in a tiny medical-research community on Vancouver Island, living an ordinary life and not wondering too much about her background or the paw-print birthmark on her hip. Until now. And yes, that’s when all the strange (aka awesome) things start happening—mountain lions, a sexy bad boy, a best friend that can “feel” situations, unexplained deaths, a mystery about Maya’s biological parents, oh my! It’s a slow, wonderfully achey build to see where it all might lead…read it!
