The suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. This reading group guide for The Reckoning includes an introduction, discussion questions, ideas for enhancing your book club, and a Q&A with author Alma Katsu. With the stunningly imaginative storytelling and rich characterizations that fascinated fans worldwide and made The Taker a singular and memorable literary debut and an international sensation, Alma Katsu once again delivers “a powerful evocation of the dark side of romantic love” ( Publishers Weekly). And she has no idea how she will save herself. He’s free…and he will come looking for her. But, while viewing these items at an exhibit 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.
She has given away the treasures she’s collected over her many lifetimes to purge her past and clear the way for a future with her new lover, ER doctor Luke Findley. Now, two hundred years after imprisoning Adair, Lanore is trying to atone for her sins. He is a monster in the flesh, and he wants Lanore to love him for all time. And though he is handsome and charming, behind Adair’s seductive façade is the stuff of nightmares. 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. She had no choice but to entomb Adair, her nemesis, to save Jonathan, the boy she grew up with in the remote Maine town and the man she thought she would be with forever.
Including imprisoning the man who loves her behind a wall of brick and stone.
Lanore McIvlvrae is the kind of woman who will do anything for love. In the second installment in her supernatural Taker trilogy, Alma Katsu, author of the highly acclaimed The Hunger, takes you on a “fascinating” ( Cliché Magazine) and passion-fueled journey that transcends the boundaries of time.
