It’s nearly impossible for me to write a review for books that I love. I’m never able to do them justice, but I’ll give it a whirl. The Reckoning is the final installment to Kelley Armstrong’s Darkest Powers Trilogy. If you haven’t read The Summoning and The Awakening, I would advise you not to read this installment until you have. The Darkest Powers’ world is constantly evolving and Armstrong doesn’t waste her time catching readers up to what they should already know, which I have to admit, i

Okay, okay, okay. Four stars.
See, I enjoy these books while reading them, and its not until afterwards that I realize their faults. I get sucked into the easy writing and run-and-hide plot. Its certainly a good way to spend a few hours.
This series could have been one book, because really, the plot of these books is pretty much running, hiding, moments of sexual tension, and the occasional revelation. Take a cheese grater to this series, and you might just have one exc More...

The. Best. Friggin'. Series. I've read in a long long long long long (you get the picture) time. I was thrilled. Super-excited. Impressed. So glad someone restored my faith in believing there could still be good books in the world. Thank you Kelley Armstrong. You did great.
I can't express with words how superb this book (and series) was. Everything about this book appealed to me. The likeable characters, the imaginative plot, the way how the love triangle was portrayed, even though it wasn More...

Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers trilogy had everything I was looking for in a series... intensity, intrigue, romance and a bit of paranormal horror. What an exhilerating story that Kelley weaved for us!
The Reckoning, the third book in this trilogy, starts off with intensity and ends triumphantly. And all good stuff inbetween!

"The Reckoning" Has not yet been put on the shelves, But my Mother works for a book company and so I have gotten the book early. I am currently reading this book and it is just like the first two books, Exciting. If you have read "The Summoning," and "The Awakening," You defiantly want to read this book! I have just finished this book and it was diligent! I loved it! Suggestion for the ending, don't think "omg, why did hey end it like that, the should have expl

Chloe Saunders, teen necromancer, will not be leading a normal life any time soon . . . or that’s the impression one gets while reading the third book in the Darkest Powers trilogy, though that “theme“ has run rampant throughout the first two books where I‘m sure people have gotten the message that supernatural powers (even those of raising and controlling the dead) are not quite so desirable as they first appear. Just a note of warning before I jump into the review: this book cannot be thorou

I'm not going to spoil the story for you but there are plenty of good bits, in fact I noted down my favourite pages to do with Chloe and Derek: 125, 225, 242, 292, 371-2 and 390. The part in the woods with the werewolves was excellent, my eyes were glued to the pages. I love how Chloe and Derek are determined to protect each other at great risk to their own lives.
This may be a young adult trilogy but it didn't always feel like it, in a good way of course. Derek calling Chloe on her More...

Ich hätte ja schon nicht gedacht, dass es noch besser werden kann als das erste Buch und dann kam das zweite. So weit so gut. Irgendwann wird das ja nicht mehr zu toppen sein! Denkste, der dritte Teil setzt dem ganzen echt noch mal die Krone auf und hat mich von vorne bis hinten umgehauen.
Vor allem eine ganz böse Situation hat mir den Atem geraubt. Ich war kurz davor ins Buch zu springen und einzuschreiten. Aber Gott sei Dank hat die liebe Chloe dann selbst noch festgestellt, dass das More...

The Reckoning is not the best written YA, and it will never be a YA series that strongly impacts adults. The entire Darkest Powers series is filled with flaws. There is not nearly enough plot to fill 3 books, the kids are constantly on the run while wondering who to trust and where to go, the big action scenes are confusing, conflicts between the kids are very easily resolved ~ in fact, the love triangle is solved way too amicably to be believed, … but even so, this was an enjoyable read.

It is so damn hard to write reviews for books you love, so I apologise in advance for the incoherence!
Where to start? Well, Armstrong successfully managed to include plot twists and turns I was completely unprepared for. Considering I had had a year to think it over, I thought I had a pretty good idea how this book would go. I was so wrong! The action was violent, sudden, and unexpectedly terrifying - and intensely emotional. Chloe and Derek had to do some things they really were More...

Okay, before I get into the review, I would like to just make you aware that there may be some small spoliers, since this is the third book in the Darkest Powers series, however, I will not be posting any spoilers about the plot line etc so do not fear!! I had the biggest feeling of trepidation when I started reading this book, its always the same whenever I read the last in a series. A whole load of questions whirl through my mind; will the characters end up where I want them to? will the que

Everything that I wanted to happen, happened hihi and I really was into the story! It kept me intrigued and it's written really nicely.
No 5 stars because well... to my feeling the story isn't finished, too much mysteries left unsolved and stuff. The story of Chloe is finished tho I think, yet I still have the feeling there could be written More...

I always like Kelley Armstrongs writing and she's doing an awsome job writing for young adults. It's right on target language wise and theme wise.
In this third and final Summoning series book Chloe and her "gang" face the Edison Group again and also Cabals come into play... see who comes to the rescue. Maybe the ending is a little to easy, but hey, it's a good one...

I find it hard to write a review for a sequel. If you haven’t read this series yet, you can read my review for the first one HERE and for the second one HERE.
I’m going to be completely honest… I liked it! This series gets better with every book. I love the story, it keeps me addicted and begging for more. The characters are just so great. I love Chloe. I adore Derek. Simon makes me laugh. Tori is less annoying. I love how the romantic aspect is included, without making it seems fake. More...

In the previous books in the Darkest Powers series (The Summoning and The Awakening), Chloe Saunders and her friends have discovered their supernatural powers, been locked away as mentally ill by the Edison Group (which endowed them with their powers in the first place) and have escaped to what they consider a sanctuary.
They think they have finally found a safe haven with Andrew, a trusted friend of Derek’s and Simon’s father. But not everything More...

Endlich in Sicherheit? Derek, Chloe, Simon und Tori haben es geschafft: Sie sind bei Andrew angekommen, dem Kontaktmann der beiden Brüder, der ein Freund ihres Vaters war. Er eröffnet ihnen, dass es eine Gegengruppierung zur Edison Group gibt und verspricht Hilfe. Die Vier können vorerst nichts tun, außer zu warten, dass die Erwachsenen handeln – und dabei bietet sich auch Platz für Zwischenmenschliches. Doch wirklich lange können sie sich nicht damit aufhalten, denn nach und nach wird ihnen kla

The end is very near and not all will be there to see it. Chloe Saunders is not your average girl. Sure she's got the usual, friend drama, boy problems, nagging grownups. But she's got things about her that make her stand out from the rest. She's a powerful necromancer, who can raise the dead with a wink, choosing between a misunderstood werewolf "But no one even recognized that. They didn't see Derek. All they saw was the werewolf" and a sorcerer, with a new best friend who may or may
