I know Wendy and Loki will never be together (my instinct says they won't) but I ship them anyway xD 4.5/5 stars.

I definitely enjoyed the second book in this trilogy more than the first. In this particular book we got to dive into more backstory on the trolls. I definitely enjoyed learning more about Wendy's background and the Vittra. Again, Amanda Hocking's writing did not disappoint. This book kept me intrigued and motivated to finish to see how the story would end.
One thing I have to say is how much I despise Finn. In Switched he did not bother me, but in Torn he was horrible. I get wanting to protect Wendy but it was just so horrible. And that fact that Wendy still cares enough about Finn to still want something with him absolutely disgusts me. There is absolutely nothing okay with how he treats her and she deserves better. Now Loki and Tove are great guys, even if they both have their "flaws" (flaws is used loosely since the issue with Tove is not a flaw, it is just a reason they can't work). Loki is great because he is so straightforward and he definitely truly cares about the Wendy and wants her happiness rather than following duty like Tove and Finn.
Either way, I'm looking forward to reading the conclusion to this trilogy and seeing what Wendy ends up doing. I have a few theories about how it all ends up and I hope I right.

Torn was even better than Switched which really never happens. This sequel brought a whole new set of troubles and romances. Some people are even trying to break the boundaries of life. I really can't describe how much this book captured me. I could not put it down. It was literally amazing. I cannot wait for Ascend which comes out soon. :)
