I cannot put my love for Siobhan Davis' True Calling series into words. I fell in love with the characters, the world and everything that makes this series unique when I read the first page of the first book. I would like to thank the author for providing me with ARCs and allowing me to participate in her blog tours as well as the Novo Squad.

So much happened in this book! It took me awhile to wrap my mind around everything. It was full of surprises and always had me on the edge of my seat. Packing a lot into one book usually results in the book coming across as rushed and sloppy, but Davis was able to pack all the action in beautifully! Not once did anything feel rushed or forced, and everything that was occurring had an important role in the plot, nothing was filler.

I loved how the story alternated between the perspectives of Cal, Ari and Zane. I have to say though, I was never a big fan of Cal's hate to say his sections did not make me like him any better. He is very hotheaded, which I understand is not entirely his fault but I cannot seem to get over how much of a jerk he is at times. Also, I know he is a teenage boy but come on, he had been separated from the love of his life for awhile and finds out she is missing and practically the first thing that comes to his mind is how big her breasts have gotten. Really Cal??

Being the final book in the series, it is inevitable that Ari has to finally decide if she wants to be with her new love Cal or her first love Zane. And her decision broke some hearts, including mine. But that's all I will say on that.

Ari herself grows a lot as a character in this book which is great. In order for a book to be considered good, in my opinion, there has to be character development. Ari can be stubborn but she really grows and matures, her situation and life kind of forces her to. She learns to use and control her psychic powers which are pretty awesome and created some amazing scenes in the book.

This book was such an emotional roller coaster. It tugs at your heart strings and messes with your feelings but it is so wonderful. The writing is brilliant and flows wonderfully. There is never a dull moment so you never want to put the book down (I know I didn't want to). Davis brings the series to a close with an epilogue that ties everything together perfectly. While I was saddened that my choice in the love triangle lost out, I think he does pretty well for himself in the end. The True Calling series was a fantastic ride to experience. Along the way some beloved friends were lost, hearts were broken, secrets were revealed, and chaos ensued, but in the end everything worked out. I look forward to more by Davis as she easily made this one of my favorite series and I cannot do anything but expect more great stories from her.

This is the third and final installment to the True Calling series by Siobhan Davis. I was very kindly given all three books as arcs to read and review. You can see my other reviews for the first two below
True Calling
Beyond Reach

First off, these covers are amazing! They are SO beautiful!

Spoiler Alert!

Siobhan Davis writes this amazing dystopian novel with just a little bit of everything you want, action, love, friendships, and sadly loss. She does this perfectly in this page-turner series. I found myself up rather late at night just wanting to get a couple more pages in until my eyes were literally falling out of my head, or I would be thinking about what happened or what was going to happen when I should have been studying for class.

This book picks up right where we left off on the second one with the unknowns of what is happening on Novo and on earth, who to trust and just who is Ariana going to pick? A major point in the books is the love triangle between Ari, Cal, and Zane. I, by the way, am team Zane all the way. But not only are we dealing with a love triangle with so much history, Ari is pregnant as well - with Cal's baby or....?

Sometimes I felt like America Singer from The Selection and Ariana were the same in the way they just couldn't make up their mind on who they wanted. It was such an emotional rollercoaster, one minute I was happy with what was happening and the next I was trying to figure out whyyy, why Ari, WHY. I sadly didn't get what I wanted for the future of Zariana, but that is ok.

There were so many gasp-worthy parts in the book and it really came down to not being able to trust anyone because of what happened first on Novo, then with Clementia, and so many secrets coming to the surface, you never really knew who to trust.

I did enjoy that there was a *four years later* part at the end of the book to completely wrap things up, I just wish that Ari had picked the other guy instead :( This in turn made a little upset with the ending although it was a great ending just not the people I wanted together haha.
