![]() When I saw an ARC copy of Torrent sitting in my inbox, I quite literally pounced. I've been on a roll reading her Shifter Prophecy series, all caught up in a romance involving a vampire and a wolf and their incredibly convoluted love story. Torn between Cairo and Thames in a love triangle that could become fatal, will Cassia reach out to what's forbidden or will her romance end in tragedy?įair warning, my reviews on Megan Linski books tend to be more me blabbering on about how much I loved the book and her writing. Cassia is soon thrust into a world full of angels and demons and a holy war that has nothing to do with her. There's more to these boys than meets the eye and their differences are more than they appear on the surface. On her first day of school, she meets two very different people- hot-headed Thames and calm and cool Cairo. Her plan is to graduate high school, pack her bags, and leave her past behind her. Now, in the town of Heaven, Michigan with her new foster mother, she hopes to start a new life. So strap in and prepare for my review gush about her newest book, Torrent.Ĭassia is a foster kid, bouncing from home to home after losing her mother as a kid. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that she's a writing wizard sent to Earth to bring us amazing book after amazing book. Yup, that's right, another Megan Linski book. Thank you to Megan Linski and Gryfyn Publishing for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for review! All opinions are my own. The book was gripping even despite the issues I mentioned and I genuinely enjoyed the frustration I felt with some of Cassia's choices □ Because really. Overall I would absolutely suggest giving it a read. I would have loved to have seen it more spread out instead of popped into the end. There was a really interesting plot happening under the love triangle, but we really didn't see most of it until the end of the book.Also a lot of her character quirks were explained, rather than simply shown through the emotions she was feeling. ![]() I feel like in third person this would have worked well, but in first I found myself questioning her motives and emotions. We learned that she was affected by things in her past, and that she had trouble warming up to people, but that didn't seem to be how her character actually acted. Again against the first person perspective, she did a lot of telling rather than showing.The tenses switched a lot and went from her discussing her feelings to describing how she looked when she almost died. I feel like the book would have gained a lot from a third person viewpoint.Very trope-filled, and not always uniquely. Thames was the unnaturally warm best friend who also had feelings for her and rode a motorcycle. There were a lot of Twilight scenarios-Cairo followed her a lot and managed to save her life because of it, several times.It's a fast paced overall enjoyable read.I absolutely have a guilty pleasure for ridiculous drama and drawn out love triangles. It's very angsty cheesy, but for me that's a pro.I found myself wanting to dive into their backgrounds and learn more about them, and I'm kind of curious where they'll end up in the future. The characters, specifically the boys Thames and Cairo, are really interesting.The book had a very Twilight vibe about it, and even if there's a small guilty part of you that still loves Twilight you'll eat this right up.I devoured the entire book in two sittings. When I first started reading some of the things I will mention (which inevitably became the reason I gave it three stars) really bothered me, and yet I couldn't stop reading. I wavered between giving this book three and four stars.
