Torn by Erica O'Rourke - A Review

Torn (Torn Trilogy, #1)Torn by Erica O'Rourke

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Title: Torn
Author: Erica O’Rourke
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp.

Erica O’Rourke did a fabulous job with this darkly, exciting novel about Mo Fitzgerald who is torn between two guys and worlds she doesn’t begin to understand. Torn is definitely addictive. You cannot put it down once you begin. The only thought is to get back and see what is happening next.

Mo Fitzgerald is a normal seventeen year old about to be senior in high school who is a witness to her best friend, Verity being murdered. Somehow, Mo escapes from the murderers and vows to find them and exact vengeance for Verity. Mo is no stranger to secrets, but learns that even best friends have secrets from one another. Attempting to get vengeance for Verity, Mo has to choose between two men that are both equally dangerous in their own ways. Colin, who is duty bound to protect her, and Luc, well he is very mysterious. In her effort to get revenge on Verity’s murders, Mo must enter a world she doesn’t know even exists, a world of raw magic and deal with people who aren’t everything they seem. Can she do it? No spoilers here!

O’Rourke has created characters and a story line that is made believable with her masterful crafting. Mo seems likes any other high school senior you might actually meet on the street and the dialogue between characters flows with reality even in the face of the unbelievable.

This book was provided to me free of charge by Kensington Publishing Corp for an honest review. The opinions are my own.
