The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong

Book Name: The Reckoning

Author: Kelley Armstrong

Series: Book #3

Total Amount of Pages: 391

Genre: Horror (minimal), Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

Blurb: 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. 

Favourite Character: Derek

Comments: The Reckoning ended the trilogy and I couldn't have been happier. Chloe and the rest of the gang developed their powers in this book and even had mentors to work with. It had a steady pace so you weren't bored but it wasn't too much information at once. We also got to have a little more insight as to why Chloe doesn't have contact with her mom which answered some questions. 

The ending was good but it didn't feel finished, which I guess what the point. Kelley left it open-ended which hints that there could be more adventures featuring the same characters. Either way, I was happy with the way it finished. 

I highly recommend the Darkest Powers Trilogy. It's an awesome supernatural series and it will keep you glued until you finish it. The books have a good story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

Rating: * * * * *
