The Reckoning (Darkest Powers #3)
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.
"You need your sleep. Roughing it out isn't going to impress anyone. It's just stupid."Ah, Derek. Always so encouraging. The sarcasm is real with this one. ;DI told myself Simon was wrong. I'd never be dumb enough to fall for Derek. But I had. With him so close, my stomach kept doing weird little flips. It wasn't fear. It hadn't been fear for a while.I wasn't horrified and disgusted. What I saw wasn't some guy puking and grotesquely contorting. I saw Derek, in unbelievable agony and scared out
⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Should've been more*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES! This whole review can - probably - contain spoilers for the entire series. This review is mostly for me to remember the details. Re-read: 04.05.2018 . I hate the ending. It's too open and we never really get the real answers. Overall, the treatment of Derek is at least even better in this book. I still don't like how immature the characters is. I barely see any development in the characters except Tori (a little), and Derek.
4 starsWhoo! Finally! I finally finished The Reckoning! Again, I'm reminded of the memories of the time I enjoyed reading the Darkest Powers trilogy. And now that I finished re-reading them, I have nothing but bliss from reading them.So, The Reckoning. I'll be honest, it's been years since I last read the book and most of my memories of it were a bit shady. I remember the end, but the beginning and the middle were a blur to me. I thought there was a lot of action in the beginning, but apparently
This is the best book in this YA series. I raced through it in a day.There was a bit more going on than in the previous books, but it was still fairly predictable.There were a couple of logic gaps to overlook. And the reason behind the changing color of Chloes pendant is never shared, despite it being raised multiple times. What was all that foreshadowing for? Ive heard Kelley Armstrongs adult books are better, so I might try one of those in the future.
I cannot wait for this book. I just finished the first 2 and they were amazing!!!! I love Derek and Chloe...Sorry Simon. I also just got done reading the first 3 chapters of this one, it's gonna be GREAT!!!
My review can also be found on Reading Lark: http://readinglark.blogspot.ca/2012/0...LOVED IT!!The Reckoning, the third book in the Darkest Powers trilogy, starts off with intensity and ends triumphantly. And all good stuff in between!Unfortunately, it's going to be hard to write a review without some spoilers... but I'll try to keep the major ones out.Where the first two books lacked in a bit of romance, it was made up for in this book! Chloe and Derek's budding romance was such a refreshing

I would not have liked the Darkest Powers series had I not had all three books to read back to back. It's not that I have no patience. I do have a modicum of patience. I keep it in a jar on my desk. No, the problem with reading the Darkest Powers spaced out over the course of the three years they were published is pretty closely aligned with the problem I'm going to have reviewing them. The three books more or less equate one story. There are very few small arches to these books, the first two"You need your sleep. Roughing it out isn't going to impress anyone.
