Kelley Armstrong Æ 2 Summary

The Calling Free read è 2 About certain people and situationsIt doesn't help that the new bad boy in town Rafe has a dangerous secret and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy her paw print birthmark. The last 14 of the bookI don t even know where to startI don t know about you but I m not too fond of writing essays and I was pretty terrible at it in grade school I tend to BS my way through them then I just ramble and make random dramatic statements and reactions and not much actual facts until the very last part of my paper where I realize OH SHIT I only have 250 words left and I need to make a point Then I cram in all the facts I can and hope that my essaypaper ends up somewhat coherent This is what it feels like Ms Armstrong did for the ending She fleshed out the first 34 of the book because she didn t have an idea of where she wants to go then the hastily thrown together before deadline ending makes no senseI m sorry is there an actual plot to this book Ok it s the first book in the series and there needs to be introductions made but I swear the first 23rds of the book was an introduction to Maya her family and her adopted past her friend Serena s tragic accident her mixed feelings and friendship with Daniel and her burgeoning romance with the school poseu I mean Rafe Too much background Way way too much background and not enough flesh or plot I know than I need to about how wonderful her parents are the mean spiritedness of bad girl Sam and the wonderful pretty scenic little town and I mean little owned by the St Cloud corporation and all the hush hush that goes on surrounding the lab 75% through the book and I still had no idea what the plot is supposed to beWe hear the word skinwalker like twice in the first half One by a crazy lazy who pretty much spitefully shouts it at Maya while she s about to get a tattoo I really have no idea what this series wants to be

The Calling Free read è 2 Ountain lions are spotted rather freuently around Maya's home and her reactions to them are somewhat unexpected Her best friend Daniel has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions. Well written but I think my sheer impatience with the set up got to me References to Samuel Lyle Darkest Powers trilogy and the Nasts Cortezes and St Clouds Women of the Otherworld were very welcome as I m anxious to see characters from all the books connect but I m seeing similarities with these other works too Maya reminds me of Elena WotO in personality and ability but the people around her made me think of Chloe s crowd Daniel is Chloe s Maya s best friend and she wants to keep it that way so no kissy wissy despite being attractive to every girl except her Apparently I m not so sure And Rafe is her Derek though he may actually be Clay to her Elena an outsideroutcast who s struggling to care for his brother sister AnnieI loved Maya s parents They were good people and genuinely loved and cared for their adopted daughter Parents are rarely seen or heard in YA these days or if they re around they re neglectful of their duties clueless about their children and their actions Maya has close relationships with them and I chuckled every time she lovingly teased her father mercilessly Her directness was embarrassingMy impatience came into play when everything is blatantly obvious to us readers but we re waiting for the characters to catch on or impart important information to these poor clueless kids They don t realise that what they re joking around about is actually real and true because to them it s too far fetched I feel like I m 100 steps ahead of them and my foot s itching to kick them to motivate them to catch upIntellectually I know this is just a slow build up establishing Maya s world so we can understand how devastating it ll be for her and her friends when it all falls apart but justHURRY UP That cliffhanger I knew it was coming but it still burns If I had the next instalment I would be reading it right now instead of writing this so I enjoyed the book well enoughHowever I didn t particularly take to Rafe Perhaps I was reading too much into the whole love triangle thing of the last trilogy but I was hoping Daniel would take Maya s dad s offer of the truck and marry Maya He s far likeable than Rafe and I got the impression he might be interested in dating Maya but as I said before I might be reading too much into his actionsview spoilerI have many uestions about what will happen next How many of the kids were taken if any Did Annie make it out and will we see her again How is everything going to explained Who will get what explanation It s going to be tough to come up with a cover story about the way the fire spread and the strange people with guns pretending to be rescue workers but I think it will be entertaining to see them try hide spoiler

I have a confession to make here goes So anyone who knows me at all on goodreads will know that I have a few friends whose reviews I rely on without uestion If they say a book is better than chocolate orgasms and Melina Marchetta combined even if I ve never heard of it I will believe them Except I didn t I doubted it s true I doubted I have had this book on my shelf since not long after it s release in April last year and I have been putting if off and putting it off Everytime I reminded myself that I should probably read it soon I would then talk myself out of itWhy Because while my love for dystopias keeps me reading trash in search of that one book that will prove authors still know how to do it well my love for young adult paranormal novels up and left shortly after the publication of the Twilight series Okay so it occasionally makes a rare re appearance for books that are paranormal with other elements like Angelfall for example And yet Ms Armstrong has somehow successfuly delivered it back to me in a shiny completely addicted condition I thought my inability to enjoy Unearthly another book that all my friends loved was proof that I was doomed to dislike young adult paranormal books forever How wrong I wasThis is a wonderfully enjoyable novel with refreshing Native Canadian mythology There s also an array of characters that interested me beyond the main character Maya and the guy she s hot for Rafe like Daniel her overprotective best friend Rafe s mentally damaged sister Annie Sam the uick tempered girl who is than you first expect even Maya s parents are memorable with all the funny dialogue between the family especially between Maya and her father And I want to hug Kelley Armstrong so much for managing to create a sexy love interest without him being a broody crazy control freak A love story where both the guy and the girl have personalities and aren t abusive I must be dreamingThis is just so much better written than the majority of young adult paranormal novels I m not suggesting that it will blow your mind or give you a new perspective on life but this is how I felt about YA UF back when they used to be fun and not so repetitive cliched and annoying This is how I felt at the start of the Vampire Academy series excited Poppy Pym and the Smugglers Secret Poppy Pym #3 ve never heard of it I will believe them Except I didn t I doubted it s true I doubted I have had this book on my shelf since not long after it s release in April last year and I have been putting if off and putting it off Everytime I reminded myself that I should probably read it soon I would then talk myself out of itWhy Because while my love for dystopias keeps me reading trash in search of that one book that will prove authors still know how to do it well my love for young adult paranormal novels up and left shortly after the publication of the Twilight series Okay so it occasionally makes a rare re appearance for books that are paranormal with other elements like Angelfall for example And yet Ms Armstrong has somehow successfuly delivered it back to me in a shiny completely addicted condition I thought my inability to enjoy Unearthly another book that all my friends loved was proof that I was doomed to dislike young adult paranormal books forever How wrong I wasThis is a wonderfully enjoyable novel with refreshing Native Canadian mythology There s also an array of characters that interested me beyond the main character Maya and the guy she s hot for Rafe like Daniel her overprotective best friend Rafe s mentally damaged sister Annie Sam the uick tempered girl who is than you first expect even Maya s parents are memorable with all the funny dialogue between the family especially between Maya and her father And I want to hug Kelley Armstrong so much for managing to create a sexy love interest without him being a broody crazy control freak A love story where both the guy and the girl have personalities and aren t abusive I must be dreamingThis is just so much better written than the majority of young adult paranormal novels I m not suggesting that it will blow your mind or give you a new perspective on life but this is how I felt about YA UF back when they used to be fun and not so repetitive cliched and annoying This is how I felt at the start of the Vampire Academy series excited
