Review of The Calling by Rachelle Dekker

Remko Brant had never been so sure of anything as escaping the Authority City with Carrington Hale. But bravado comes easy when you have nothing to lose. Now a husband, father, and the tactical leader of the Seers, Remko has never had so much at risk.

As he and his team execute increasingly dangerous rescue missions inside the city, they face growing peril from a new enemy. Recently appointed Authority President Damien Gold claims to be guiding a city shaken by rebellion into a peaceful, harmonious future. But appearances can be deceiving. In order to achieve his dangerous ambitions, Gold knows he must do more than catch the rebels—he must destroy the hope their message represents . . . from the inside out.

With dissension in his own camp—and the CityWatch soldiers closing in—Remko feels control slipping through his fingers. To protect those he loves, he must conquer his fears and defeat Gold . . . before one of them becomes his undoing.

Review:
A great continuation from the first book. It starts with Remko leading the rebellion against the Authority to save those who have been captured and those who have been called. It's fast pace,full of action and suspense. There's plenty of truths revealed in this book that I found could be applied to my own life. Remko is struggling with alot of demons inside and hasn't fully had a n awaking to the truth yet,which causes him to believe the lies that plague his mind. This leads to strain between him and his wife Carrington. As they race to save people from the Authority and figure out what this new experiment the Authority is conducting on the citizens of the city and on prisoners, a mole is in the rebellion camp and if they don't figure out who it is soon they may not survive. I do have to warn you, DO NOT read the synopsis for book three before you finish The Calling! I did on accident and totally ruined the ending for myself a bit. I also have to say,I happily surprised to see not just Carrington, but another character see a field when communing with the Father because it's the same thing I see when I do,for years I've pictured a field of flowers with a tree on one side!
