Overview:
Find Max.
That’s all Layla cares about. Not healing from the Fomore attack. Not finding answers to how she survived a fall that nearly killed her. Nothing will stop her. She will find him. She’ll even pair up with an overbearing Fallen Angel who’s hell bent on making everything harder than it needs to be if she has to.
Protect Layla.
For Max, nothing else matters. Not the bruises covering his body. Not the pain radiating from his broken bones. Not even his hands tied behind his back. He will find a way to save Layla, and the Fomore will pay if they’ve hurt her.
Every. Single. One of them.
In the second installment of The Fire Born trilogy, a new breed of villain looms—one Layla and Max will never suspect, and this killer has nothing to lose. Better yet, with Max and Layla’s deaths, victory is in the grip of the enemy.
Will Max and Layla find each other in time, or is it already too late for them both?
My Review:
0 Stars
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Let's start this review by saying I did not realize this was the second book in the series when I requested it. After figuring that out (after the first chapter), I immediately went and bought the first book so I could properly read, understand, and review the second. Oh, how I wish I hadn't.
Never the less, this review is about the second book, "Torn", so we won't get into the first book. However, that being said, the second book was even worse than the first. I can't even believe it was possible for me to hate a book this much.
The writing had been put through a meat grinder then thrown into a blender and finally spewed onto the page through a wood cutter. It's so choppy and so poorly put together that it's nearly impossible to actual get a good idea of what the heck is actually going on.
The plot is pathetically underwhelming and the 'villan' is completely laughable. The entire story revolves around the Max and Layla 'true love fest'. Ugh.
The characters, oh my god, the characters. I am disgusted with all things Max and Layla. The two of them on their own are annoying enough, but put them together, and bam! Instant hate with how pathetic they are. Apparently there was a case of alien body snatchers from the first book to the second... because now, Layla had gone from a miserable, spineless whimpering love struck moron to some steel hardened badass... except she's not. She is still just pathetic. Miraculously, Max had become the spineless captive this time around, although, he wasn't much more than a stupidly pathetic two dimensional character the first time around. Are you getting a theme here, people? The whole book is pathetic.
I just absolutely cannot understand any of these 4 and 5 star reviews or even how this book was published.
