The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong
Released on April 6, 2010
Summary from Goodreads:
Only two weeks ago, life was all too predictable. But that was before I saw my first ghost. Now, along with my supernatural friends Tori, Derek, and Simon, I’m on the run from the Edison Group, which genetically altered us as part of their sinister experiment. We’re hiding in a safe house that might not be as safe as it seems. We’ll be gone soon anyway, back to rescue those we’d left behind and to take out the Edison Group . . . or so we hope.
My review:
The Reckoning was everything I had expected and more. The suspense, the adventure, the chemistry between Derek and Chloe, everything together made this novel completely awesome.
The plot did not disappoint me. The pacing was excellent - it never went too fast nor too slow. It would go up and down and turn all around. Just when I thought they were safe, something new came up and I would hear my heart thumping as I anticipated what was to come. The story never slowed down but it never felt like it was going too fast for me to comprehend everything. It was a perfect blend between fast and slow.
Chloe, Derek, Tori and Simon were extremely well-written and well-developed characters. It was unimaginable to see how much they have all matured in only two or so weeks but, at the same time, it was to be expected with what they were all going through. It was also interesting to see how their relationship as all changed and how much they trust each other now - it was a complete 180 degrees from the first book.
The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. It somehow seemed unfinished but the only thing that's keeping me from being too sad is that there is to be another trilogy with the Edison Group again. So maybe Chloe, Derek, Tori and Simon will show up again.
Overall, The Reckoning is an amazing book that somewhat concluded the highly anticipated trilogy. I can't wait until the new trilogy is out!
My rating:
Plot: 9/10
Theme: 10/10
Characters: 10/10
Cover: 9/10
Recommendation: 10/10
Total: 48/50 = 96%

Aaah! I'm envious, I have to get my copy from Amazon because it's not out here. >.< I'm so excited for this Derek/Chloe chemistry, and kudos to Kelley Armstrong for creating a love interest who goes through an acne stage. Much more realistic. Anyway, great review- you've re-piqued my interest. :)
Awesome review :) I haven't started this book yet, but it is in my TBR pile. Hopefully I will get to it this week.
