Review of The Gathering (Darkness Rising #1) by Kelley Armstrong

Description
Maya lives in a small medical-research town on Vancouver Island. How small? You can’t find it on the map. It has less than two-hundred people, and her school has only sixty-eight students—for every grade from kindergarten to twelve. 

Now, strange things are happening in this claustrophobic town, and Maya's determined to get to the bottom of them. First, the captain of the swim team drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. A year later, mountain lions start appearing around Maya's home, and they won’t go away. Her best friend, Daniel, starts getting negative vibes from certain people and things. It doesn't help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret—and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy: Her paw-print birthmark.

My Thoughts
I loved this books so much  because as soon as the first chapter started i knew that this is the sort of book i read, and because someone and a close friend to Maya dies, it just makes it that more interesting. 
She develops good friendships, and even a relationship, but even that is complicated.
She learns her true nature and exactrly what she is, and it she learns she has somthing simerlar to Rafe.
If you likeed the darkest powers trilogy, then you will like this one!


I am so looking forward to reading the next one called The Calling, which is due to be published in April 2012 :)
