Summary

From acclaimed author David Mack comes a gripping supernatural thriller about a man who can hear other people’s prayers for help - involving him in an ancient, ongoing struggle between the forces of heaven and hell.

For millennia, a supernatural war has been waged on Earth, with all the souls who dwell there as its pawns. On one side are the Called - men and women guided by guardian angels who defend humanity from its own worst impulses. On the other side are the Scorned - people influenced by fallen angels.

Tom Nash is a member of the Called who works as a handyman and makes his living doing odd jobs. He’s 33 years old, married, and a few weeks away from becoming a father for the first time. And since he was 16, he’s been hearing other people’s prayers.

So when he hears the prayers of a kidnapped young girl in New York, he leaves his pregnant wife behind to help, unknowingly becoming a key figure in the ages-old conflict between the Called and the Scorned.

Expertly written, briskly paced, and featuring an edgy, cinematic style, The Calling is a page-turning thriller that listeners will be unable to put down.

Nice blend of supernatural and detective

Nice blend of supernatural and detective genres. Layered male and female characters. Well-narrated. Would make a great series.

Excellent listening experience

Very good and original urban fantasy. Beautifully read with great male and female characters. The magical and mundane make this an exciting book.

Brilliant!

not too much supernatural, more of a hint until your way into the book. Quite tense and a great cop storyline too. Please Mr Mack, say there will be a sequel? I am already missing the lead characters!

Enthralling

Hated putting this down. I decided to listen whilst doing everything in the house, then took it to bed and listened until it finished. I wish there was another to follow the story.

must read

Usually I move on to the next book after 10 seconds. This book is an absolute must. I'm only on the sixth chapter and I can't put it down 10/10..I'm loving it xxxxx.

Wonderful narration

The story is enjoyable but didn't wow me, but maybe I'm just getting a little jaded with this genre as it seemed similar to others I have read in the past.
Narrator's voice was wonderful, I will be looking out for more books read by him.
