I don't understand why soooo many of my friends loved this book and I just liked it. Sigh. . .I mean don't get me wrong, I totally love all of the characters in these books. I especially love Derek and Chloe and FINALLY for like two seconds at the end they kiss. Some things were answered about the supernaturals and just when they thought they might have some help, it's all cray again. There is a part where one of the ladies was going to mention something about Chloe's pendant changing colors and...

I wish I had a time machine....

I'm happy I re-read this.This is such a good paranormal YA trilogy about kids with powers on the run from mad scientists. Plus, I loved the cute romance between Chloe and Derrek. <--it's one of the few in the YA genre that doesn't make me roll my eyes.One complaint you might have with it is that it doesn't actually end because there's another trilogy about another set of kids that sort of continues the story. I wasn't as big a fan of that one, but it was still decent.Also, it's pretty dated beca...

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!!!

June 2010- if derek and chloe do not get together in this book, i think i just might die. really.September 2012- I'm always so disappointed when I finish this series. Like, "But... what do you mean it's over? We were just getting into some major character development..." disappointed. I almost wish this series was turned into a tv show just because I like the characters so much.

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't

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 ch...

not with a bang but a whimper(I wouldn't normally write such a lengthy review for a book that disappointed me as much as this one (why waste any more time on it!?) - but the more I got to thinking about the issues I had with this book, yet more and more troubling issues kept occurring to me, and the angrier I became...so the review just grew and grew. Sorry.)Unlike the previous two installments of the Darkest Powers Series, which are driven both by plot and character development, The Reckoning i...

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 mistakes and...

*3,9/5 stars*“You know children, always playing with the forces of darkness.”Surprisingly, I loved The Reckoning more than I thought I would. There was little bit of everything - action and fight scenes, superpowers, friendship, romance and of course, some cool necromancer stuff.I especially liked Chloe's change through this series. From fragile little girl who was afraid to even voice her own opinion to this determined necromancer who wasn't afraid to say no anymore.“Great. So if I saw a guy st...

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 excellent YA paranormal. If yo...

29/4/2017The last time that I read this, I gave it five stars. And, like, I still love this book. But LOLOLOLOL it's not even CLOSE to being a five star book by my current standards. Anyway. It's a solid ending to the series. I love seeing Chloe realise that her powers are way more badass than most necromancers. I love seeing Derek struggle with transforming for the first time, with his feelings for Chloe, with SIMON'S feelings for Chloe, and with having to go up against adult werewolves who kno...

Derek and Chloe have such a connection! I really hope they do something about it in this book!!!!! Make out.... Do the Do... BUT DO SOMETHING!!!! lol

The last (*sniff sniff* I wish it didn't end here) wonderful book in the series. This series is one of my favourite paranormal-romance series ever! It's so incredibly realistic, as bargains are being made and people fight for their rights. Family is reunited and torn apart, kisses occur, and people decide what side they're really on in the final book to the Darkest Powers trilogy. Thanks KA! Heaps of fun and surprisingly realistic (in a good way!).

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, is part of what I love about her writing.I devoured this book. Read it in one setting even and I was glad to see The Reckoning took us

Wow, just wow! First let me begin by saying that this is one of my favroite series's that i've read. I loved it and each book had gotten better and better. If you haven't read this series then i suggest you do so. Now!This has to be my fave book in the trilogy. It had everything. Action, romance, humor....everything i've come to love about the Darkest Powers Trilogy. The characters are incridible as usual. I loved joining Chloe, Derek, Simon, Tori, Liz and sooo many others on their journey. It's...

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 Chloe’s pendant is never shared, despite it being raised multiple times. What was all that foreshadowing for? I’ve heard Kelley Armstrong’s adult books are better, so I might try one of those in the future.

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*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 Dere

As seen on The ReadventurerI love Kelley Armstrong. I love her adult "Women of the Otherworld" series. I do not love her YA books, I think they are just OK reads, with overabundance of action but lacking actual plot and satisfying story resolutions. The same applies to this final book in the Chloe Saunders trilogy.Most likely, if you enjoyed "The Summoning" and "The Awakening," I expect you will like "The Reckoning," because it's basically more of the same - the same running around scenarios wit...

http://inbetweenwritingandreading.blo...This book was just the right amount of EVERYTHING. As a matter of fact: It. Was. Perfect.Action. Mystery. Fear. Romance. Passion. Truths. Not-wanted truths. And Trouble. Lots of trouble.All of this and more is poured into the pages of The Reckoning, soaking every page of it. This book was a little bit more focused to the relationship between Chloe and Derek, but still keeping up with all the action. It was really fun and trilling to see Chloe struggle with...
