The Reckoning by Marisa Noelle is the final book in her The Unadjusteds trilogy. Refresher: The Unajusteds is a YA Dystopian story, with Silver Melody, our wonderful teenage heroine. Silver is very strong, fast and has abilities that make her special. In a world with most people having been altered with enhancements, Silver was one of those that were unadjusted, but her powerful abilities continue to grow.
In the last book, Silver and the team managed to defeat the evil Earl, and rescue her mother (though she is still catatonic). All Silver cares about the finding a way to use her healing power to bring her mother out of her unconscious state. With her father away to find a woman who knows how to bring his wife out of the state she is in, Silver is determined to help her mother. But things start happening, the crops and land are suffering, and they need Silver to help clean and heal the crops. Besides working on her mother, Silver is having horrific dreams every night, and she is worried if these are just nightmares, or are they a vision of what is yet to come.
Silver begins to spend time with Eli (who was saved by Silver against his torture by Earl), as he convinces her to experiment together to increase and learn more about her powers. As her powers begin to increase, even to some dangerous levels, Silver becomes more and more belligerent against her friends, since she just wants to help her mother, and experiment on her powers. Her friends and the president become concerned at her reckless actions, and she turns more and more to Eli. When the nightmares get more violent, especially the “yellow eyes”, she begins to realize that someone (Eli? Entity?) is trying to steal her powers, and her visions are real. Silver will need to ensure her friends and team that is she is herself again and they need to be ready for the upcoming battle that is forthcoming. I loved seeing most of her friends/team from the previous books, especially Matt.
What follows is an exciting and intense adventure that once again pits Silver and her friends against an evil powerful and dangerous entity, as well as the creatures, birds, animals, hellhounds they come across. From start to finish, this was filled with action, danger, violence, with a number of tragic events along the way. To tell too much more would be spoilers, and would ruin it for you.
The Reckoning was a very well written, intense, violent and emotional story line that held my attention throughout. Marisa Noelle did a fabulous job giving us an exciting story, wonderful heroine (I loved Silver, as she made a great heroine) and great secondary characters. The ending was exciting, wild and emotional and a fitting finale; though it was definitely a surprise epilogue.
