Well, I am simply blown away by how good Torn was! As the the fourth book in the Turning Moon series, I thought I know exactly what I was getting, but I got so much more. In fact, I think this is the best book in this series. And that ending...! I'm not saying anything else for fear of spoilering, suffice it to say that I loved it!

Book four of the excellent Turning Moon series, Torn continues the story of werewolf Blake and vampire Tori, and this review is going to be hard to write without dropping spoilers, but I’m going to try. Firstly, the author shocked me rigid with a major plot twist that initially left me confused and angry, but as I continued to read I started to catch glimmers of which way the story would go. Beginning in the sleepy and safe wolf community of Cedars Close, the action quickly moves to the throbbing pace of London, where vampires and hunters fight an unseen war for domination of the murky underbelly of this historic city. In much the same way that The Empire Strikes Back is a bleaker film than the other two in the trilogy, so Torn has that sense of despair and helplessness, a darkest before dawn edge that I found myself responding to, scrolling the pages in a need to find out what happens next. Consumed in one sitting, the ending left me staring at my kindle in disbelief that an author could do this to a reader and wondering how long it will be before the next book is released. A triumphant five stars and recommended to all who love tense and sophisticated reads.
