The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong is the third and final novel in the #1 New York Times Bestselling Darkest Powers trilogy. The main characters are a group of four supernaturals --- Chloe, a necromancer; Derek, a werewolf; Simon, a sorcerer; and Tori, a witch. The four teens are not normal, by even a supernatural standard, and they struggle to live with their special, and at times frightening, gifts. The story is told from the perspective of fifteen-year-old Chloe, who is just realizing the nature of her differences and the extent of her powers. The Reckoning is an entertaining page-turner about friendship, loyalty, and embracing one’s uniqueness. The book should appeal to readers who enjoy supernatural thrillers with a PG dose of romantic suspense.

Glad your back. Glad you are okay, for I was getting worried. I think the next two months will continue to be busy for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of scary books, so there's not much from which to choose. I've read one or two Stephen King books, but I think my pick would be "Silence of the Lambs". Creeeeeepy!

My favorite scary book is Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I read it as a teenager and did part of the reading during a bad thunderstorm. Just as I got to a scene where the vampires cut the electricity to a house so they could go after the people inside, the storm knocked our electricity out. No kidding--it was freak timing!!! Needless to say, it was scary!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I would call it scary, maybe more of a thriller but The Divide by Nicholas Evans is one of my favorite books of all time. I couldn't put it down!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to be back, too.
Hi Pat,
"Silence of the Lambs" is a scary one for sure.
Hi Tammy,
"Salem's Lot" is in my top three scary books. My husband was working nights when I read it and I was afraid to fall asleep. SL ranks right up there with "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby."
Hi Jenny,
"The Divide" sounds intriguing. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm with Tammy. My sister and I read Salem's Lot at the same time and she would make me stop reading and go to bed with her because she was scared to go by herself.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteFrom the posts here, Salem's lot seems to be the scariest book.
