Daria Kacie’s ‘The Calling’ made my hair stand on ends and actually freaked me out—and the last time I felt like this was when watching ‘Insidious’ or ‘The Conjuring’. Which is my way of saying I love this book to shreds—and here’s why.‘The Calling’ wastes no time—it throws you right into the thick of things, with Karen’s inexplicable experience with knocking on doors and faucets opening on their own.  But that’s only for starters, as it’s a story about a woman’s path to investigating paranormal phenomena. Lizzy Sterling, because of a good deed, transcends from being a bystander to the paranormal to one who actively has a say in how it unfolds. And even before you hit the middle part of the book, the full meaning of the book’s title—the “calling”—hits you majestically, as main character Lizzy Sterling starts acknowledging her destiny—to interact with spirits enough to actually help them bridge the gap.I love how author Daria Kacie has meticulously and compellingly sinewed this paranormal mystery tale with more than enough verisimilitude to make it as believable as the person sitting next to you. You feel the terror of the unknown deep in your bones; you also feel that immense relief when understanding finally dawns, as it did with Lizzy and her group.Overall, I love this book and highly recommend it not only to fans of the genre, but also to those who just love a deeply entertaining tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is the book you take to the beach or on the train—it will absorb you and will not let go. Get a copy. A solid five-star rating for this one.
