My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“When this is over, I’ll still want you. I love you. And I’m warning you to run like fucking hell because you’re right. This isn’t going to end well for you. For me. For any of us.”
Second Installment in the duet, Torn starts off where the maddening end of Taken left us. With Lucinda still the troll we knew her to be, the entroductory scenes plunge us right away into the darkeness .
But there was also such a sudifferent vibe to this book!!! It was really surprising and never would I have expected these turns of events. And in that matter, the title is pure perfection. TORN. That is exactly how the characters felt, and by extension, how I felt. Torn between what should be done and what is expected (I'm not telling you which is which, though). Torn between the rivalry and the jealousy of the brothers. And then Torn between Helena's contradictory emotions.
"Life isn't fair."
I know I'm being vague but it would be disappointing to have the plot spoiled when it's so neatly and thoroughly executed. The author played with the angst and the growing suspense all along. From the beginning of the series I was pretty sure I wouldn't ever fall in love with Sebastian, least of all Greg, but eventually Natasha's talent worked wonders and her anti-heroes eventually grew on me, until my heart broke for Greg, and pounded at the idea of Sebastian. Helena stayed strong and I'm glad the Scafoni didn't tarnish her beautiful mind. I absolutely loved the way she adapted and her resilience. They ALL are incredibly interesting characters, multi layered and Torn by both families, the Willows and the Scafonis, the weight of their history and traditions.
"I'm angry at all of them. [...] I can't forgive them. Not yet. Maybe not ever."
I hope that you ladies will have as much pleasure reading this gritty, sexy (hell, who am I kidding?) scorching hot and raw conclusion as I did! Enjoy!

Taking her is my
right.
Breaking her, my
duty.
I was always going
to choose Helena. I knew it the instant I saw her.
She’s different than
the others. There’s a darkness about her. Something wild inside her. And it
calls to the beast inside me.
But she isn’t what I
expect. With every word and every touch, she pushes me, burrows deep under my
skin, challenging the rules, upending history.
And all the while, I
see how my brother watches her. He wants her, and as the rules stand, she’ll
become his in one year’s time.
Except that I have
no intention of giving her up.
