A bit silly. The book tries too hard to be to be funny, but comes off over the top. Also, the characters are a bit predictitable - Diana being a headstrong teenager, Claire being the older and predictable older sister. I liked the cats though - As always, they tend to take center stage to the story. (

Probably not as good as the previous two installments in the series, but still entertaining in that doesn't-take-itself-seriously sort of way; some of the themes are tired in this book, as Huff has already played with subject matter such as retired-gods-on-vacation. Still, given that it's fluff reading, with no brain required, it's generally delicious. (

I like this series. I really enjoy the familiars ability to talk. I did not like this one as well because it was from the little sister's viewpoint from the previous two books not the original heroine. (

Third in the Keeper series, also very recommended. Mini-Vans as tangible evidence of evil? (

Epigraph

Dedication

Back in the summer of 2001, I attended a convention in Toronto called TT15. Or possibly TT2001... it used to be called Toronto Trek and that's how I remember it. Anyway, after my reading, during the question and answer session, I talked about this book which I'd just started writing. I gave a brief synopsis of what it was about and mentioned that it didn't, as yet, have a title. A woman in the back of the room called out, "What about LONG HOT SUMMONING?" The perfect title. I don't know who you are, but if you're reading this, this one's for you!

First words

Throwing her backpack over one shoulder, Diana raced out the front door and rocked to a halt at the sight of the orange tabby crossing the front lawn.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0756401364, Mass Market Paperback)

In Tanya Huff's delightful new follow-up to her acclaimed Locus bestsellers, Summon the Keeper and The Second Summoning, a force from the Otherside threatens to break through to our world and destroy the balance between Light and Darkness. Unless, of course, the Keepers Claire and Diana-two sisters who are able to reweave the possibilities of time and space-can prevent a permanent rift between worlds...at the local shopping mall.
