The Reckoning - (Darkest Powers) by Kelley Armstrong (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This explosive finale to the adventures of teenage necromancer Chole Saunders, the New York Times bestselling Darkest Powers trilogy, is back with a haunting new look.

In the end, there's always a reckoning.

Chloe Saunders's life is not what you would call normal. First of all, she can't figure out how she feels about a certain antisocial werewolf or his charming brother--who just happens to be a sorcerer. Then there's the fact that she's running for her life from an evil corporation that's trying to kill her and her supernatural friends. And finally, she's a genetically altered necromancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying.
Not normal.

But Chloe has a plan. And the end is very near.

• Supernatural Love Triangle: Chloe Saunders' heart is torn between two brothers--a charming sorcerer and a brooding werewolf--in this bestselling horror-romance trilogy.
• Slow Burn: From thrilling moments of forced proximity to tender hurt/comfort scenes, the will-they-or-won't-they tension between Chloe and her love interests could make even a zombie's heart race.
• Y2K YA Nostalgia: With the love triangle of Twilight, supernatural conspiracy of Stranger Things, and necromancer thrills all its own, the Darkest Powers trilogy is the perfect nostalgic young adult read.
