The magical Sídhe have been expelled from their home and forced into the Grey Land - a place under the earth; a place of darkness and death. But now they've returned to take back what they lost. All teenagers will be called, and when your time comes, you have to be ready to run or fight to the death. The vengeful Sídhe will grab you by surprise - you could be studying or hanging out with friends when suddenly you're pulled into their terrifying world, alone and hunted. Only one in ten will return alive - the rest subjected to a tortuous and painful death. No one believes Nessa can survive The Call, but after years of torment and, worse, pity - she's determined to prove them wrong . . REVIEW
Nessa and the other teens of Ireland are being hunted by the Fae. Taken during puberty to the Grey Lands, they are chased through the night, while only being missing in the real world for three minutes. This book really pulled me in. The Idea was intriguing and I would have loved this as a teen. It is quite dark, so a warning is needed for younger teens. Nessa is an interesting character. Having a character with a disability that puts her at a severe disadvantage does add more tension to the story. The author's writing style is a little unusual in that on occasion it feels the same scenes are being skipped over where readers would like to know more, but there is enough of a hint to keep you wondering. It was a creepy, entertaining read. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars
