Editorial Review:

Product Description:


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.






Rating: - Worlds Away From Ordinary
Chloe Saunders may seem like an ordinary girl from her appearance, but she is anything but ordinary. For instance, her closest friends are a werewolf and a sorcerer. And she fits in nicely with her supernatural friends, because she herself has an abnormal ability, namely the power to reanimate the dead. Chloe is a necromancer who is fighting to stay alive, but it is difficult when a sinister corporation wishes to dispose of you and your less than ordinary companions. Chloe's life may not be normal, ... Read More

Rating: - Good enough
Simply put, I liked it.

I felt that the plot progressed slower in this book. I wanted to learn more about all the different species, have the kids learn more about themselves and others. In some ways, the book seemed static.

However, I will probably read it again.

Rating: - Is that all?
I waited for the third Darkest Powers in great anticipation. The first two books were wonderful and exciting and got right to the point. I expected the third book to be the same. It was a wonderful read, if only it hadn't been the last installment. The author was very vague. I had many questions while reading the first two books, questions I expected to be answered in The Reckoning. Although she did answer most, they were not solid conclusions. Other than that, it was just as exciting as the others. ... Read More

Rating: - Good ending, although a little rushed
Overall,I liked the end of the Darkest Powers series. Armstrong clarifies the reasons for the Edison Group and how the villains become what they are. With that said, there are both positives and negatives to this book.

Negatives: I was a bit disappointed with how quickly she concluded the series. I wished she had given a bit more information on the psycological reasoning for Tori's mood swings as well as why Derek was so bitter and rude in the beginning. Obviously as a reader you can make up ... Read More

Rating: - I wanted more, but The Gathering is coming soon
The Reckoning was one of those books where you get to the end and say, "That's it?" and you're left wanting more even though it was a really good book. I don't like spoilers, so I'm not going to say anything that could potentially spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read The Reckoning yet. I can say though that I loved the characters and their story. Tori & Derek make me laugh, Chloe is coming into her own, and Simon is just trying to keep up with the superpowers.
