The Calling picks up right where the first book left off. Maya and her friends are on the run through the wilderness trying to get back home and find safety. I really want Maya to end up with Daniel. I am frustrated that she hasn't given him a chance to be more than friends. I think they would be a great couple and I'm praying that it doesn't work out with Rafe. I'm not sure why but I just don't care for him the way I do Daniel. I feel like Maya and Daniel know each other better, they care about each other, and Daniel is such a great guy! (So far.) I know Maya and Rafe have things in common but that's about it for me. *Sigh* 
 I enjoyed the first book in this trilogy better than this one but I'm hoping that the final book will just blow me away. I'm really excited to see how the trilogy ends! There were hints of Chloe from the Darkest Powers trilogy in this book so I'm guessing Maya and Chloe will be meeting in the third installment?? That would be very exciting! I like the Darkest Powers trilogy even more than this one. I really like how the two trilogies interlock with each other, it makes it even more interesting in my opinion.
