The Reckoning, as the final book of the Darkest Power series, doesn't fail to deliver. It's just as fast paced as the two before it, and it drives you to push yourself to finish the pages even faster. Page turning addiction. 
 Aside from the addictiveness, The Reckoning, finally ends many big questions like..Derek vs Simon for Chloe's love, and finally finding out the truth to the Edison Society etc. I really enjoyed seeing Chloe mature, more and more and understand the moral problems of her powers, as well as her strength when everyone around her was betraying her. Initially, in the Summoning, I really disliked Chloe's meek appearance, from her physique to her mouse-like worries, and to her incessant stuttering. I'm pleasantly surprised, perhaps overjoyed to see Chloe maturing and developing her strengths along the way - character growth is always a plus. 
 I've really enjoyed this series, and although it really doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of supernatural fantasy romances, it's enjoyable, a fast-read and addictive. If you're looking for something groundbreaking, or philosophical, stop right there. It isn't this book. Yet, regardless, the Reckoning does deliver on what most YA readers expect, a sweet teenage love and a thrilling adventure. 
 The only weakness of this book is that there's still so many things you could be wondering at the ending..So many little questions not resolved, and what's to be in store for these mutated rejects? A bit irked at the ending, yet it's been an enjoyable ride!
