Remko and Carrington try to lead the Seer group. At the end Remko finally surrenders to Aaron and they make plans to rescue their daughter Elise who was kidnapped by Neil. Damien and the Scientist are injecting people for mind control and Jesse the archer I think is playing both side. ( )

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

The Calling is book two of The Seer series. In this portion, a bit of time has passed. Remko and Carrington are happily married with a sweet little baby girl. Damien has started experimenting on some of it's citizens and Remko and the others rush in to rescue the believers of Aaron before they are executed. When the Authority begin to change the execution locations, Remko begins having a crisis of faith as he questions putting his family in danger for something he isn't sure he believes in.

Rachelle Dekker has written a wonderful dystopian series. I love how Remko's doubts were dealt with. There are lots of heartbreaking moments, but this series teaches us about God's grace, unconditional love, and to have faith through all circumstances. This is a great fast paced novel with action, romance, and even a mad scientist! All in all, this was a fantastic book that has something for everyone! ( )

I've heard so much about the series - and the hype is overwhelming.
The Calling was calling me and it was definitely worth it.
Full review to follow soon. ( )

A continuation of the futuristic story begun in The Choosing. Remko and Carrington continue to live outside the wall of Authority City while attempting to rescue as many people as possible. Inside the city, Damien Gold has risen to President and plans are undergoing to alter human emotions for a more compliant society. Overall, the story moves at an uneven pace and the ending becomes very philosophical and symbolic in ways that don't always seem to fit with the earlier narrative. Those who read the first volume will be invested in the characters but the narrative does become a bit preachy at the end ( )

I was drawn in quickly to The Calling. I love a great YA novel. This definitely fits the bill. I have not had the pleasure of reading the first book in the series called The Choosing but feel that this can be a stand alone novel. The author does a great job of keeping you updated and well informed about what is going on from the first book.
Dekker starts this book out fast paced and straight to the action till the end. Even then you will want to know what happens next. Besides being full of action this book has many inspirational episodes. Remko is now a husband and father with responsibility. He is struggling with a feeling of inadequacy and frustration in trying to find himself. Will he let God in to help???
If you like dystopian stories you will love this book. It doesn't just have one storyline going but several that have you on your toes.
I recieved this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review. ( )
