Description In Favor Of Books The Reckoning (The Taker Trilogy #2)
A love triangle spanning 200 years…Alma Katsu takes readers on a breathtaking journey through the landscape of the heart.Lanore McIlvrae is the kind of woman who will do anything for love. Including imprisoning the man who loves her behind a wall of brick and stone.
She had no choice but to entomb Adair, her nemesis, to save Jonathan, the boy she grew up with in a remote Maine town in the early 1800s and the man she thought she would be with forever. But Adair had other plans for her. He used his mysterious, otherworldly powers to give her eternal life, but Lanore learned too late that there was a price for this gift: to spend eternity with him. And though he is handsome and charming, behind Adair’s seductive façade is the stuff of nightmares. He is a monster in the flesh, and he wants Lanore to love him for all of time.
Now, two hundred years after imprisoning Adair, Lanore is trying to atone for her sins. She has given away the treasures she’s collected over her many lifetimes in order to purge her past and clear the way for a future with her new lover, Luke Findley. But, while viewing these items at an exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Lanore suddenly is aware that the thing she’s been dreading for two hundred years has caught up to her: Adair has escaped from his prison. He’s free— and he will come looking for her. And she has no idea how she will save herself.

Insane character development mixed in with fantastic world building made reading this series a absolute delight. Unrequited love PassionHateJealousyDesireFearLoveRedemptionGreedMiseryEnvyDesperationDeceptionAnd pretty much every other emotion you can think of is weaved into this dark and twisted tale. Immortal beings created by dark magic that can only be released by the one who created them. This is not a pretty tale full of sparkly vampires with a conscious. Not for the feint of heart. ThisReview courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Deeply unsettling and gripping sequel to The Taker. Part historical, part modern day thriller that explores deeper character development and emotions. Opening Sentence: We were nearly at the Victoria and Albert Museum when we saw the crowds spilling out of the entrance and across Cromwell Street, forcing our taxi to stop in the middle of the road. The Review: Lanore McIlvrae and Lucas Findley are spending some quality time together in Europe
It is very rare that the second book in a trilogy is even better than the first and this was exactly what happened here. I liked the fact that Lanny seemed to have matured more and that Adair was this time round at a bit of a disatvantage. Richly descriptive, dark and obsessively distructive. I cant wait for the last book.
Notes: I read the ARC (Advanced Reader Copy)My Synopsis:It had been three months since Lanny ended the life of Jonathan, the love of her life, per his request. She and Luke have become close since then, and she'd promised to never leave him. That she'd spend the rest of his life with him. For the first time in Lanny's life she was with someone who took care of her and cherished her. It endeared Luke all the more to her. The relationship had changed her, grounded her and she was content.She'd
Originally reviewed at Hooked on BooksThe more I read this series the more I love Alma Katsus writing. She is a mystery/paranormal/historical fiction mastermind. Shes got three genres going on here and doesnt drop the ball once.The Reckoning reunited us with Lanny and Luke a few months after The Taker ends. Theyve settled into a life together and Lanny is learning to let go of her past, to really let herself be free. This plan hits a snag however when the building keeping Adair prisoner is
Stars: 4.0The Reckoning by Alma Katsu picks up where the first book in her supernatural, gothic trilogy, The Taker, ends. Katsu describes The Taker as a story about desire, obsession and the dark things we sometimes do for love. Its also about the curse of immortality and the price paid by its victims.I didnt realize that The Taker was part of a trilogy when I read and reviewed it for Simon & Schuster Canada, but now that Ive read the second book, I cant wait for the final piece of this
I loved this book, the second of trilogy. Katsu has a rare talent she made me enjoy fantasy/horror as a genre. she is a brilliant writer and she leaves you breathless with a fast paced harrowing story.
