Amazing.My heart is still torn between Loki and Finn.(Hehe get the pun?? Torn?? Like the title?)*laughter slowly dies off..*my sincere apologies for the introMy praise for Amanda Hocking:Thank you for making me die throughout the story.Thank you for making me cry.Thank you for granting me two deadly, hot, sexy guys.I couldn’t have made it through the story without them. ;)(Guys, I hope that part that you just read about two sexy guys will make you instantly pull out some money from our seeming...

Torn (Trylle #2), Amanda HockingTorn is the second book of the young adult paranormal literature series the Trylle Trilogy. It picks up the story of Wendy Everly and the Trylle that began in Switched. The start of the book begins almost exactly where the end of Switched left off, with Wendy and Rhys running away from the palace in the Trylle's Förening. The two arrive at the home and Wendy attempts to explain to her "host brother" Matt that Rhys is his brother. He reacts with disbelief yet she t...

Review found at: www.awesomebooknut.comWow…. so many thoughts and feelings. My biggest one, is WHY DIDN’T I READ THIS SOONER! sheesh! so good…In this one we are introduced to new and exciting characters, things that were kept from Wendy are revealed, some awesome and major character developments happen in this one. It’s just great.I enjoyed more of Matt, Wendy’s brother and his role in this, I so enjoyed the tension between Wendy and Finn…. *sigh*But the biggest development that I really enjoyed...

What happens when everything changes? Switched may not be the great introduction to this series, but Torn made it all up. There were a lot of developments here in this book thanks to my new favorite character-- ladies and gentlemen, Loki Staad!I have to make a special highlight to this awesome character because he deserves it. Loki is one spectacular character. I admired his realness and the way he treated Wendy in this book. He may be a Vittra but he wasn't considered a villain. To be hones

What the hell IS this? Did Amanda Hocking miss out on the sixth grade English when they taught the basic outline of a story? There needs to be a beginning ... a middle ... a CLIMAX ... and an end. This wasn’t even a story, it was just a random bunch of non - events. The most annoying part of this “book” was the complete lack of progress or pacing. The beginning actually wasn’t bad; Wendy was kidnapped by the Vittra and I actually thought the whole book was going to be like this, but no. Once Wen...

In this second installment of the Trylle trilogy, we reunite with Wendy inside this strange new world she's still digesting. It's an honorable sequel with a lot of world building, plenty of characterization, and enough twists to keep you enchanted until the end.Let's start with the world building. In Switched, we're introduced to this new race of Trylle. We meet the queen, we visit the kingdom and we learn where Wendy fits in all of this. Now, in Torn, we go deeper. We learn a lot more about the...

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Not working for me anymore*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ This review is purely for me and might contain spoilers and facts from the book to keep myself in the known at all time. It's also very long and somewhat detailed. Second re-read: 03.06.2018 We're back with Wendy Luella Everly (17) who, just weeks ago, found out she's a changeling switched at birth. The time schedule from first book to now is about a month; in book one, it was four months until Wendy turns 18, now it's three. The the timeline i

Torn picks up right where Switched left off. Wendy Everly has just found out that she is the heir to the throne of Förening, a Trylle (troll) enclave in Minnesota, hidden from human eyes unless those humans are taken there, or invited in.Angry with her mother, cold Queen Elora, for imposing tough restrictions on her—including driving away Finn, her bodyguard/boyfriend of a few days—Wendy runs away, as seventeen-year-olds often do. She brings along Rhys, the human boy with whom she was switched a...

There's a lot of politics and romances, I mean big major POLITICS AND ROMANCES...and Tove.....I don't know what to say...thank God you're damn foxy!

An amazing sequel and LOKI my love!

My main issue with Amanda Hocking is that she has no sense of rise and fall. She doesn't know how to bring the story to a high point and then leave you heaving with suspense in the conclusion. She made an improvement from the first book by giving you reason to believe that the series will continue. She left Wendy's relationship with her father, the Vittra King, open for us to find out later. We still don't have much of a handle on who Wendy is and what she wants. We know she thinks that she's pr...

Seriously, that was crap. Why the girl fell in love with Finn (He was all over the first book) and then she’s interested in another guy??? And on top of all married to the third guy?Waste of time!! 

**No spoilers**What a difference a book makes!!Torn is such a better book than Switched, holy guacamole?! The only things I didn't like we're Finn (his entire character - grr), and the ending was a bit anticlimactic in my opinion.Wendy was so much more tolerable in this book. She was a lot more selfless and friendly, and she is actually shaping up to be a good queen. But I swear if she ends up with Finn.....sh*t will hit the fan!! Seriously, Loki is actual bae right now. He is AMAZING! I don't h...

Rating: 4.5 beautiful stars! You know you have an amazing sequel when you love it more than the first book — and that's exactly the case with Torn! I wasn't expecting to be as blown away as I was but I ended up loving it from the beautiful cover to the heartbreaking end.From the very first page, I already knew I was going to lose sleep reading this book! It still gives enough information to remind you of what happened in Switched, but the recap isn't boring or overwhelming. We also get to learn

Review for book 1: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Torn, book 2 of Amanda Hocking's Trylle trilogy, is a very easy book to read and it wouldn't charge you too much time and effort, but the writing is so plain that it lacks tone, style, tension, foreshadowing and grace---Okay, just about everything which would make the book interesting.Instead we are once again stuck with the uninteresting Wendy's first person POV throughout the entire book, and her narration is becoming counter-productiv...

Torn started out pretty good and I thought now we have something here and as soon as I thought that things started to get nowhere. There was a whole lot of whining continuing from the first book and a whole lot of not much else. I think this trilogy could've been a duology, had the author not given us well whatever we were given in this book. I continue to love Matt and Finn and didn't mind Duncan as a side character either. Even though Finn became moody and jealous but I think that Amanda Hocki...

***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog*** Torn by Amanda HockingBook Two of the Trylle seriesPublisher: St. Martin's GriffinPublication Date: February 28, 2012Rating: 4 starsSource: Review copy sent by the publisherSummary (from Goodreads):When Wendy Everly first discovers the truth about herself—that she’s a changeling switched at birth—she knows her life will never be the same.

Unfortunately, Torn is even worse than the first, lacking in many of the things Switched had to offer. It's really hard to get into a book when the main character insists and refuses to do anything in any way but her own. And the similarities to Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series? Maybe Amanda Hocking didn't mean for that to happen, or for anyone to be aware of it, but I tend to pick up on the littlest of things. We'll start off with the whole "I love my mentor but he won't love me b...

Loki <3 Loki <3 Loki <3 The time for swooning has finally arrived!!I love him,I love him so much <3We left Wendy returning to her old home and her brother Matt,with Rhys by her side after using persuasion on him.It was really obvious that this was a very,very bad choice,one she would regret.But!on the bright side,we came to know why the Vittra wanted her so badly (their king is such a huge as*hole and the queen merely a puppet) and yes,praise the Lord,Loki came into our lives.A sassy but surpsis...
