Bonus Book: Atoning

Atoning (Darkness Rising, #3.1)

Atoning by Kelley Armstrong is a novella set after both The Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising trilogies.

Chloe and Derek have adjusted to life in Badger Lake.  It's not perfect, but it's safe and they're learning the skills they'll need when it comes time to make a decision about their futures. They're comfortable and they're settled... until a weekend camping trip with Maya and Daniel reunites them with someone they thought they'd left in the past.  Someone Derek really hoped they'd left in the past, because as much as this former friend might want to atone for past mistakes, she's nothing but trouble. 

The Breakdown:
1. Super excited for this novella.  Chloe and Derek are probably in my top five favorite YA couples.  Plus, there is the bonus of seeing how their live has been since join with everyone from the Darkness Rising books and their life in Badger Lake.  Love seeing how they have all become stronger and learned to use their strengths to their advantage.

2. Chloe and Derek have really become quite strong in their relationship, and know how to compliment each other so well. I love that they understand what the other needs sometimes without even word, and how they do the simplest things for each other.

3. I think my favorite part of this story was when Derek, Chloe, Maya, and Daniel don't trust that Mereno is not the mole, and he is so proud of them for it.  I was pretty much laughing out loud at the whole exchange.

Poll for all my readers (which may only be my mother): Who are your favorite Young Adult fiction couples?

My top five:
1. Clary & Jace- The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Claire
2. Katy & Daemon- Lux by Jennifer L. Armentrout
3. Chloe & Derek-The Darkest Powers by Kelley Armstrong
4. Karou & Akiva- Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
5.June & Day- Legend by Marie Lu
