I can't wait until the rising is released and the two groups are finally joined together!

The Calling is the second book in the Darkness Rising series. This book was much better than the first, The Gathering. Had these two books been edited down and combined into one, I think it would have made a fantastic book. In this story, Maya, and her friends have survived the helicopter crash and are on the run from two different groups who are pursuing them. As they run, each starts to find out more and more about the way they are changing and how it happened. Maya and Daniel are most affected, but hints are given as to how the others might also be changing. This book was much more satisfying than the first, and I'm ready to finish the series by reading The Rising.

           I thought that this book was awesome. The book had even more things hidden beneath its covers than the book before it, The Gathering. The main character, Maya Delaney, finds out many things about her past and she is running from the truth, that the St.Clouds were hiding a HUGE secret from the whole town, except for the scientists that worked in the lab.
