Explanation 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.

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 always known someday she'd have to once again face her***This is a review of books 1 & 2***Part me was shocked and a small dark part of me was mad. I dont know exactly what to say about this book. I dont even know what possessed me to read this book. I havent read any reviews of this book so I dont have any expectations. In fact I have absolutely no idea what Im about to read. So when I finish the two books I was so flabbergasted that this book is likethat.This book is sort of an enigma to me. But one thing Im sure of is that the books theme is
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.
I was drawn to The Taker Trilogy when the book cover for The Reckoning caught my eye on the GR Giveaways. The cover was so artistically stunning. Check it out . The stricking beauty in color contrast and composition paired with the books title more than grabbed my attention. I am , however,not one who judges a book by its cover, so I looked up The Reckoning and book 1, The Taker, here on GR. Read the blurbs, summaries and some reviews. I decided that it sounded like something I could
I read and reviewed The Taker, Alma Katuss first novel in this trilogy with a Goodreads group. I found it to be disturbing, compelling and one that left me breathless. I found myself repulsed and drawn to Lanore MciLvraes story and had to know more. The group decided to read The Reckoning for August and again I found myself completely drawn to this tale and its fleshed out and complex characters. Katus is a powerful story teller and I encourage you to pick this trilogy up.The tale picks up
So... not really what I expected...I am super interested in all of the history of the characters, and I think that Lanny is flawed just enough that she isn't worthless, so overall I like the general idea. I'm overly surprised at Adiars change of heart, and think the Jonathan thing was weird. There was a lot of stuff brought up that wasn't resolved, but I guess that's what the final book will be for. (I like the last chapter just because I'm excited that its opening the door for more history!) I
full reviews of The Taker and The Reckoning will be posted on my blog soon. Know this, though... This is one of the best series I have read in years. It sucked me in, chewed me up, and spit me out against my will. Once I was in Lanny and Adair's world, I wanted to stay there. If you enjoy suspense, twists, romance, horror, or the supernatural, I suggest you RUN to buy this series.
