The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong

The Reckoning (Darkest Powers, #3)

by Kelley Armstrong

'There's never a slow moment in their journey or a false line in Armstrong's writing.' - Charlaine Harris, author of Dead to the World

'Kelley Armstrong has created a gritty, realistic world both teen and adult readers will enjoy. Edge-of-the-seat reading, with plenty of surprises. I want the next installment now!' - Kim Harrison, author of White Witch, Black Curse

The nail-biting climax to Kelley Armstrong's bestselling Darkest Powers trilogy

Chloe Saunders is fifteen and would love to be normal. Unfortunately, Chloe happens to be a genetically engineered necromancer who can raise the dead without even trying. She and her equally gifted (or should that be 'cursed'?) friends are now running for their lives from the evil corporation that created them.

As if that's not enough, Chloe is struggling with her feelings for Simon, a sweet-tempered sorcerer, and his brother Derek, a not so sweet-tempered werewolf. And she has a horrible feeling she's leaning towards the werewolf...

Definitely not normal.

The explosive final part of the Darkest Powers trilogy, Kelley Armstrong's internationally bestselling YA series.

A satisfying conclusion the the trilogy. I was worried a bit that there would be a love triangle, and while, sure, maybe there is, there just hasn't been enough focus on the romance angle (despite what the synopsis says) to make it awful. And it doesn't last long.

This book was fun. We got to see THINGS HAPPENS. And I do so adore when THINGS HAPPEN, especially when I like the THINGS that HAPPEN. And let me assure you, lots of THINGS HAPPEN in The Reckoning.

There is backstabbing and secrets revealed and KISSING with a sweet romance.

When I finished this, I immediately wanted to go pick up The Gathering, which is another series set in this same world. I may just do that now.
