Chloe and Drake
left off on track, they got over the Logan drama and decided it was time to
move forward as the couple they could be.
Following K.A.
Robinson’s ‘Torn’ is the sequel ‘Twisted’ and I must say it didn’t disappoint, I
will even go as far as saying I enjoyed it a lot more than the first book,
which rarely happens. I liked that Chloe’s backstory of her mum beating her
came into it full force. I was captivated in the way her mum had multiple
personalities to try and get her way, but also the way her moods changed at
sonic speed and she turned violent.
The characters
were consistent with how they were in the first book, however Amber and Logan
weren’t in it as much, instead were her cousin Danny and his friend Jordan. Her
relationship with them was different to hers with Amber and Logan in the first
book, but Danny and Jordan had the same job as Amber and Logan, protect Chloe
from her psycho mum. Throughout the
entire book I would see myself comparing Jordan to Logan, even though the way
they acted around her was different Jordan was more physical and playful
whereas Logan was her best friend he didn’t need to touch her to show his
affection.
Once one drama
ended another began, if it wasn’t Chloe it was Drake and that’s what kept me on
until the end. It pressed on some important topics, drugs and child abuse and
each one ended the way you’d hope it to end before it gets taken too far. It
shows the reader that you can battle it; you can change your life if you have
something or someone to change it for, and I thought that hidden message was an
important one.
As much as I
enjoyed the book, the ending was a disappointment for me as I found it was a standard
YA book ending almost an ‘they lived happily ever after’ ending which isn’t
really how Chloe and Drake were, their relationship fed off of the passion and
the drama that was around them. I thought up my own ending for their
relationship, one that to me seemed more believable.
Thanks for the great review. I have both Torn and Twisted to read, but I have seen mixed reviews for Torn. I am glad to know that Twisted is good and that you liked it better than the first book. I am looking forward to reading it now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to read my review - I would recommend this series, but like i said the 2nd book in my opinion is better than the first.
