About this listen
Amanda Hocking is an indie publishing sensation whose self-published novels have sold millions of copies all over the world. Step into the world of the Trylle, and prepare to be enchanted….
When Wendy Everly first discovers the truth about herself—that she's a changeling switched at birth—she knows her life will never be the same. Now she’s about to learn that there’s more to the story…. She shares a closer connection to her Vittra rivals than she ever imagined—and they’ll stop at nothing to lure her to their side. With the threat of war looming, her only hope of saving the Trylle is to marry a powerful royal. But that means walking away from Finn, her handsome bodyguard who’s strictly off limits… and Loki, a Vittra prince with whom she shares a growing attraction. Torn between her heart and her people, between love and duty, Wendy must decide her fate. If she makes the wrong choice, she could lose everything, and everybody, she’s ever wanted…in both worlds.
As a special gift to listeners, this book contains a new, never-before-published bonus story, “One Day, Three Ways,” set in the magical world of the Trylle.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Didn't finish
What did you love best about Torn?
I enjoyed the first book while this one was a little slow and wasn't filled with as much action . Missing the WOW factor.
Would you recommend Torn to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to teens and someone looking for a good rainy day book.
Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to Therese performance, I believe any narrator that embraces the character/s and makes you feel apart of the book has great talent.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This book should have been listened to all at once. Although the performance was enticing the story line was getting dull and hard to focus on.

Compelling Series
Okay, I actually liked this better than the first book (which I also enjoyed), and that’s rare for a 2nd book in a series. This one charmed me with strong character growth and development.
The narrator is Therese Plummer, and she does a great job! I would listen to this again.

Dang I really enjoyed this!!!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely! It is exciting, moving, and interesting. Add the romance element and I'm hooked!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Definitely Loki. He was hilarious, sexy, a bit honest, and soo loving.
What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Ok so I did not care for her in book 1 but by book 2 I had really began to appreciate what she brings to the table. She has a unique voice and narration style. As the series went on I think she did a phenomenal job.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Dangerous Decisions
Any additional comments?
Wow! I unexpectedly fell in love with this series. I highly recommend it but I suggest you start with book 1. Happy Reading Audies (yeah I made it up lol)!

Team Loki?
What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The voices, the meter, the interpretations. They all worked for me!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I'm probably just a sucker, but I love Loki! Not sure if he's a sneaky jerk, or for real. I hope he's for real!

The last book was an A+...this book is an A++!
What did you love best about Torn?
Everything! I especially loved watching Wendy's character grow and mature, along with her relationship with her mother and Queen of the Trylle, Elora.
What other book might you compare Torn to and why?
It is difficult to compare this to other books, because it is the only book I have come across that features trolls. Not only that, but it offers a new and fresh take on this mythological creature...very different than those hideous trolls of lore that hide under bridges. If I absolutely must compare it to something though, I'd say maybe the Iron Fey series, only because the protagonist in that series is on a similar journey as Wendy. They both discover they are a mythological creature AND royalty. Both are coming of age stories where the protagonists are learning how to grow and mature into the leadership role that is their birthright.
Which character – as performed by Therese Plummer – was your favorite?
That's easy! Loki! What's not to love? My second favorite character would definitely be Tove. I love both their relationships with Wendy. You can really feel the chemistry between Loki and Wendy. I love Wendy's friendship with Tove and enjoy all their scenes together.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Witnessing Loki's vulnerability when he does such a selfless act to help Wendy. I won't go into detail about that scene, since it would spoil the story for those that haven't read the book yet. I also loved the moment when Wendy put Aurora in her place. So satisfying!
Any additional comments?
I absolutely loved the first book and I thought this book was even better! I really enjoyed watching Wendy's character slowly mature into the aging Queen she will be. I can't find any flaws about this book and I thought Therese Plummer's performance was amazing and spot on! An A++!
