The Reckoning

I took a few days off to catch up on school, but I am back and here is a review just for you!

The Reckoning

Kelley Armstrong

HarperCollins

$17.99 U.S. (Hardcover)

FTC: I purchased this book.

Synopsis by Barnes and Noble:

My name is Chloe Saunders. I'm fifteen, and I would love to be normal.

But normal is one thing I'm not.

For one thing, I'm having these feelings for a certain antisocial werewolf and his sweet-tempered brother—who just happens to be a sorcerer—but, between you and me, I'm leaning toward the werewolf.

Not normal.

My friends and I are also on the run from an evil corporation that wants to get rid of us—permanently.

Definitely not normal.

And finally, I'm a genetically altered necro-mancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying.

As far away from normal as it gets.

My Thoughts:

Thise was a good ending to the series. I love reading final books in series because you know that you are going to be done. Kellley Armstrong did a good job of wrapping up her Darkest Powers Series. The Reckoning offered much more drama than the previous books. There was never a dull moment for Chloe and her friends. There was something waiting to get them around every corner. I was instantly drawn into the book, I had a hard time keeping up with the plot twists. My only problem with the book was the ambiguous ending. Kelley left the ending open to the reader's interpretation. I wanted her to completely end the story, but the ending she did give was sufficient.

Recommendations:

Anyone who is loving the series.

Age: 14 and up

Grade: A-
