The Reckoning

Darkest Powers, Book 3

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Cassandra Morris

"My name is Chloe Saunders. I'm 15, 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 anti-social 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."

Also included is a sneak listen to the first chapter of the Darkness Rising series. Enjoy!

Wished for a more complete closure

I wish there was a more finished ending, even just an epilogue or another book to have closure.

I very much enjoyed this series and this book was my favorite because Derrick and Cloe finally get together

can't wait for book 4

book was very good couldn't stop reading I love these kind of books story always kept you wanting more of the story

love it!!

Where does The Reckoning rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is amazing I. And love this compared to others because she isn't like other characters it pulled me into its tale and I couldn't stop!

What did you like best about this story?

The plot was my favorite part with everything I love in each story!

What three words best describe Cassandra Morris’s voice?

It surprised me her voice I liked it but she sounded to young (yes I know it is the point but still!) She is a very good reader I love it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the part when he changed into a wolf and Derek and Chloe play before getting jumped.

Any additional comments?

this is highly recommend

Conclusion to Trilogy Will Leave You Wanting More

This was the first book of the series that I ended up listening to all in one sitting...and there were some moments in the book that had my heart pounding from excitement. Chloe's story picks up during this book - this book covers about 48 hours of time, instead of a week or so, as with the previous novels. The relationships that Chloe has with her fellow escapees, as well as their guardian figures is picked up and turned on it's head in this novel. Things are not always what Chloe expects, which often leaves both her and the reader surprised by the turn of events. Chloe, as a person, has continually grown stronger throughout the books, but in this novel, she also seems to become a much more insightful and introspective character. Her romantic life also starts experiencing some action (instead of just veiled illusions to romance, as with the previous books). All in all, I think that this was a strong conclusion to the trilogy - which left lots of open ends for possible follow-ups. I cannot wait to hear how this group of characters stories end and only hope that Armstrong gets around to telling it soon.

felt unfinished

the end of the book left too much open making the series feel unfinished. it needs ons more book to bring at least some of the dozen or so open ending to be answered and have closure.

My favorite YA paranormal series forever

I read this book series way back in the mid 2000s, and I'm still obsessed with it! I love Chloe and Derek so much that I have to re-experience story in audio form lol I also read all the bonus chapters, including the one where they're in college and I want MORE. I hope Kelley will write more books or short stories about this friend group. I love how she wrote these teenagers realistically, like Derek doesn't look like the typical "hot" love interest (*side-eyes a bunch of YA stories*), and Simon has a medical condition. Chloe is a good heroine--shy, feminine, knows her limitations, but not weak and not a Mary Sue either. She's relatable. Tori is an awesome addition to the dynamic, and I want to see more of her.

Overall, this is an awesome YA series that everyone should read at least once. It would have even made a great TV series or movie.

Want more!

Most of the loose ends were tied up here but I see a possiblity for more.... Maybe a story where Chloe is an adult?
Anyway, I enjoyed the series!

NOT HER BEST, STILL BETTER THEN MOST THE REST!!!!!

Kelley Armstrong is just awesome... The first book of hers I stumbled upon was The Gathering, and it was such a good book I was upset to learn it was not a finished series yet. I did find, that the book was kind of a spin off series from some of her other books, so I bought them all. :) I loved all of them, and although this is my least favorite series done by Kelley Armstrong, its still a great series.

I love!

My all time favorite books. just as good the second time around. a must read.
