The Invasion (The Call, Book 2)

By: Peadar O'Guilin

Narrated by: Amy Shiels

The sequel to the chilling, unforgettable book that asks...could you survive The Call?

After so much danger, Nessa and Anto can finally dream of a happy life. But the terrible attack on their school has created a witch-hunt for traitors - boys and girls who survived the Call only by making deals with the enemy. To the authorities, Nessa's guilt is obvious. Her punishment is to be sent back to the nightmare of the Grey Land for the rest of her life. The Sídhe are waiting, and they have a very special fate planned for her.

Meanwhile, with the help of a real traitor, the enemy come pouring into Ireland at the head of a terrifying army. Every human they capture becomes a weapon. Anto and the last students of his old school must find a way to strike a blow at the invaders before they lose their lives, or even worse, their minds.

But with every moment Anto is confronted with more evidence of Nessa's guilt. For Nessa, the thought of seeing Anto again is the only thing keeping her alive. But if she escapes, and if she can find him, surely he is duty-bound to kill her....

Loved it!

This was one of those rare book series (2 books) that I was not happy to see end. It had amazing characters that you become fond of or grow to hate! The story picks right up from the last book and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Loved the ending, loved the narration. Great job Peadar O’Guilin!! Trust me get these 2 books you will love them!!

amazing

can't say enough about these two books. so good on so many levels. story, prose, character development- the whole package.

Terrible Narration

I realize Amy Shiels is an experienced voice over artist but she did not do a good job here. Great story and the narration doesn't make it unbearable but it could have been so much better.

Not quite as good as the 1st

Overall it was a good ending to the duology- the narrator was a little hard to follow, and the switching of POV's wasn't always clear. I still enjoyed it and think it's worth a listen.

Perfect Ending… or beginning

The perfect way to end a tale… although for the main characters that survived, it was only the beginning wasn’t it? The first book, I finished in three days, and this one four. Something about these stories, the relatable essence of the characters, the horrifying creatures, all of it, had me unable to stop diving back in to find out what happened.
