The Calling is a great sequel to the novel The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong and honestly, I think she should just continue writing YA novels from now on. :) In this novel, Maya and her friends have to reconcile with the fact that they're basically hunted by a mysterious corporation and soon, losing both their families and friends is taking its toll on them. 
 I'm just loving Maya's character. Not only is she a kick-ass shapeshifter, she's also a woman of color and I thought that she was portrayed really well in the novels. She doesn't fade into the background and let others do the fighting. No, she takes a stand and goes through with whatever decisions she has to make, tough or otherwise. I'm not too sure how I feel about the love triangle as of yet, since I am growing a little tired of all the love triangles popping up in YA novels but I do like the twist of Rafe's character. Can't say I didn't see that one coming considering how much he loves Annie but whoa, does Kelley Armstrong know how to write a cliffhanger! 
 Am extremely excited with the next installment as characters from her other YA series, Chloe, Derek, Simon, Tori, etc are making an appearance. I love them so I'm really hoping for great things to happen when they all meet. :) 4.5 stars!
