Torn between duty and survival, nothing can be the same.
Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head. After being betrayed and then nearly killed by the Prince of the Fae, she’s left bruised and devastated—and with an earth-shattering secret that she must keep at all costs. And if the Order finds out her secret, they’ll kill her.
Then there’s Ren Owens, the sexy, tattooed Elite member of the Order who has been sharing Ivy’s bed and claiming her heart. Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him?
But as the Fae Prince begins to close in, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options. If she doesn’t figure out who she can trust—and fast—it’s not only her heart that will be torn apart, but civilization itself.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

Oh JLA how you weave such a splendid paranormal tale.

TORN picks up immediately where WICKED ended (yes, you must read WICKED first.  But trust me, you absolutely won’t mind jumping into JLA’s Fae-infested New Orleans).  Ivy is trying to pick up the pieces after her first confrontation with the Fae Prince and the betrayal of her best friend.  She’s not sure who to trust, but she knows she must stop the Prince from his creating his apocalypse baby and save our world from being taken over by the Fae.

Ren is the one person Ivy really wants to trust.  She has deep feelings for the Elite member, but she’s scared that once he finds out what she is that she’ll lose him.  Ivy isn’t alone in those feelings and Ren will pretty much do anything for her.  But they don’t easily come to that conclusion and they have an enormous obstacle to overcome once they’re in a place to discuss what happened.  JLA has this knack for giving her awesome couples seemingly insurmountable obstacles that test the strength of their relationship.  The same holds true for Ivy and Ren, but when they come out the other side there is absolutely no doubt that will overcome whatever obstacle they have yet to face.

I can’t wait to see what happens next with this series.  Everything Ivy was taught to believe has been turned upside down and those that she thought were enemies may not be.  I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic showdown.

If you loved what Jennifer L. Armentrout did with aliens and Greek Gods, then you must pick up this series.  You can’t put it down.
