Reckoning takes off right were we left off in Forbidden...Roseline has turned Gabriel into what she is to save his life but now he is gone and she has no idea were to find him or even begin to look for him. She teams up with unlikely ally Nicolae to get Fane out of the downward spiral he is descending into after knowing that he no longer has all of Roselines love. The three of them are introduced to Malichi who is also looking for Gabriel but he is very secretive, works for a mysterious man, and has much to gain by finding Gabriel... what what?While they are all looking to find Gabriel he is in the belly of a mountain with people that will help him face his new fate...becoming Arotas. What does becoming Arotas mean? Will he ever see Roseline again?Roseline is even more of a badass in this book than in the first. I think it has come out more since she has something and someone to fight for that she cares for deeply. Fane is back in the group. We know he still loves Roseline but is becoming more and more ok with just being her friend, seeing her happy, and doing anything in his power to help her with whatever she needs. I like Fane, he is handsome, broody, and turns out being a stand up guy. Sadi and William have gone their separate ways, their lives end up hanging in the balance. Nicolie has become someone that Roseline trusts completely and I really enjoy seeing Nicolie in a different light.We learn more about the prophecy and what it means for each character in the story. I also enjoyed the time that Gabrielle and Roseline spend apart. You get to know them better; their emotions, and they get to travel their own paths separately for a while.This second installment in the Arotas Trilogy takes you on a totally different path that I was so not expecting! You learn so much back-story and history of how creatures like Roseline came to be.... and they end up being nothing that I anticipated! Reckoning is full of deception, love, devotion, battles, gore and death. I am anxious to see what comes of the final book! How will it all end?!
