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.

Critic reviews

"Fans of the series will enjoy watching on as Wendy continues to wrestle with issues of belonging…and matters of the heart that will keep readers happily entertained. There is no denying that Hocking knows how to tell a good story and keep readers coming back for more. More is exactly what they will be looking for once they’ve turned the last page." ( Kirkus Reviews)

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.

the sequel is even better

I'm already a fan of this writer but this book was refreshing in its storytelling. I am looking forward to the end of the trilogy.

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)!

The Series Improved

Most the time there is a dip in book 2 in series. There is a bit of story that is needed to fill the gap. But "Torn" was definitely an improvement to the series.

(Spoiler ALERT)
Wendy is forced away from her human home and taken to another kingdom where she finds that her dad is indeed not dead. Though stunned and happy to find out she has a father, she quickly learns that what he wants her to do with her life was no better than what she left when she ran from her mother.

Rescued and taken home, she is now even more entangled in what she must do to save the kingdom her mother has protected and the lives she has come to know. Now torn between two loves and a man she doesn't love but is obligated to marry, her life is just a bit messy for a princess.

Great until the very end

The twist at the end is super cringe, but most of the book is pretty good. Even has some good realistic truths like the fact that even royalty answers to someone. No one in any society can just do whatever they want...unless maybe the worst sort of tyrant that has to be truly evil to keep their control.
