There are a good many survival game stories about at the moment, but ''The Call'' feels fresh and interesting and powerful. It's beautifully paced, remorseless and is peopled with characters you can believe in. I couldn't put it down. I understand a sequel - ''The Cauldron'' - will follow, and I'll be first in line to read it.
If you want to read another fresh take on the Sidhe, try [[Firebrand (Rebel Angels) by Gillian Philip |Firebrand by Gillian Philip]], this time set in sixteenth -century Scotland. We also have a review of [[The Invasion (The Call, Book 2) by Peadar o Guilin]].
