The Hunger Games meets horror in this unforgettable thriller where only one thing is certain...you will be Called.
Thousands of years ago, humans banished the Sidhe fairy race to another dimension. The beautiful, terrible Sidhe have stewed in a land of horrors ever since, plotting their revenge...and now their day has come.
Fourteen-year-old Nessa lives in a world where every teen will be "Called". It could come in the middle of the day, it could come deep in the night. But one instant she will be here, and the next she will wake up naked and alone in the Sidhe land. She will be spotted, hunted down, and brutally murdered. And she will be sent back in pieces by the Sidhe to the human world...unless she joins the rare few who survive for 24 hours and escape unscathed.
Nessa trains with her friends at an academy designed to maximize her chances at survival. But as the days tick by and her classmates go one by one, the threat of her Call lurks ever closer...and with it the threat of an even more insidious danger closer to home.

Irish lore and culture comes through strong.

Yes, it is a dark story, but beautifully imagined and executed. The smattering of Celtic lore and Irish history only adds further depth.
Seriously, don’t start unless you have time to binge.
A year later, listened again after giving up on another book and desperately needing something to get through a road trip. It is still amazing. I love the pacing; other reviews claim there is no character development and it feels jumbled. Strongly disagree. I think it is just more elegantly and efficiently handled than in so many other fantasy books these days. Third person unlimited might just be too much for some brains to handle.
Amazing...Even the second time through

I feel like Hunger Games, Suki Stackhouse, Mercy Thompson! and other books have been able to approach similar issues with an original twist and better character development. I still think of them like long lost acquaintances. I even wonder, "hmm, what might they be doing now." I predict this book is going to fade from my memory and live in the far corners of my subconscious, along the side the horrible silk shirts I wore in the mid 90's.
Sincerely,
The recently uncurious
PS: However, If you decide to read this book, I hope you can find the care and curiosity I seemed to lost by chapter 4.
Give me Suki, Katniss, WW but not this boredom
