Sadie is thoughtful, strong, and courageous. Author Wendy Terrien does a wonderful job of creating an empowered, capable female protagonist that adeptly holds her own in the male-dominated urban fantasy genre. Both adult and YA fans of The Hunger Games series or Ransom Riggs' peculiar children will find much to like </em><strong><em>The Clan Calling.</em></strong><em>"</em> - The Colorado Book Review</p><p><em>"In Terrien's (The Rampart Guards, 2016) YA fantasy sequel, a teenager comes face to face with shape-shifters and unwanted responsibilities...In Sadie, Terrien presents readers with a strong, relatable female protagonist. She could have remained merely an important secondary character in the series--a curious Hermione Granger to Jason Lex's adventurous Harry Potter; instead, she's entrusted with the lead role here, and Terrien makes sure that she plays it very well...Terrien's prose style is undemanding but inclusive; the audience will quickly find themselves caught by the plot's current, but it's the unaffectedness of Terrien's writing that will first entice them into the water...A fresh installment with a realistic protagonist whom teens will want to follow into the realms of the paranormal."</em> - Kirkus Reviews</p><p><em>"Wendy Terrien's</em><em> The Clan Calling </em><em>is an eerie urban fantasy novel driven by character relationships and a desperate desire for answers...</em><em>a unique world and a chilling underlying mystery."</em> - Foreword Clarion reviews</p><p> </p><br>
