Torment

I don't rate my own books.

Bloodlines By Lindsay Anne Kendal “Keira Jameson used to lead a normal life, she just had a gift, passed down through the generations of her family. Now, after hearing voices, having strange dreams of others calling out to her, and her grandfather's last words haunting her, she sets out to find other families like hers. Along with her best friend Lily, the only person outside her family to know about her gift, Keira begins a hunt for her ancestors. A chance meeting with a young man, Lucian Tur [...]

Torment is the second in the Bloodlines trilogy. This book fascinated me for a variety of reasons. The strongest pull that drew me in was Lindsay’s interesting take on sorcery and Hell, even though as a Christian, I don’t agree with them, it is just a fictional story. A close second is Lindsay’s skillful ability to paint a strong cast of likable young adult characters from the first book and allowed us learn even more in the second. This sequel delves deep into their daily interactions wit [...]

I would have finished this book last night – but when hubby left for the football game my daughter and I took advantage to watch our tv-shows on the DVR and we are now caught up with the rest-of ya’ on Grey’s Anatomy.I loved the first book ‘Bloodlines’ so much, when I finished my review I bought the second book from B&N. I made the comment about how the ebook pages were wacky, well they were wacky with this book as well. But instead of skipping 4 pages a flip like the first book, T [...]

I think I'm crazy.Torment was not a vast improvement over bloodlines. Did Keira develop? No. Did Keira find love? I don't care, I'm not invested in what happens to these guys. The plotting I guess you could say it improved because there weren't any chapters dedicated to housecleaning (A note from the author herself states that those chapters have been reduced in recent editions of Bloodlines) but it's still bizarre in places. Example: Demons attack the main characters, the main characters fight [...]

After the end of Bloodlines, I had so many questions when starting this book. It is a little darker, a little more violent, and much more romantic. When Keira comes back from Hell things become very complicated. Especially when she doesn't come back alone.Eligos, a character met only briefly in the first novel, comes to the forefront in this one, which causes all kinds of jealousy in the young man who has fallen in love with Keira. (And no, I am not telling you which young man that is. That woul [...]

4.5 starsThis is book two in this series. To see my review of the first book Bloodlines click HERE. Torment picks up right where Bloodline left off and you are pulled right back into Keira's crazy world. I think I enjoyed this book even more than the first. The excitement is in full swing as we already know the characters. I don't have too much to say about this book. The author has created such an amazing world that will really have you question you perception of heaven, hell, angels and demons [...]

This author is really fantasic. I am anxiously waiting for the third book in the series I have a Kindle and have not purchased a paper copy book in 3 years. I loved the first story so much I couldn't wait for it to come out on Kindle so I ordered the paperback. It did not disappoint!

Oh my god, I can't wait for this book.UPDATE!! Just noticed the characters have been listed. OMG! Lilith and Lucifer. What's going to happen next???

So this is one of those books where I can’t fully decide if I like it or not. I feel like the story itself was interesting with cool plots and decent characters but I feel like the execution of the books fell through. The writing was done poorly, the narration was terrible and thoughts did not seem to be presented clearly. That being said, if the book was edited properly and the book itself was written properly, I think the plot was intriguing and the books would have been spectacular. Unfortu [...]

Angela's Review:Torment is the sequel to Kendal’s debut novel, Bloodlines and second book in the trilogy. The characters were flushed out more in this book. We got to know them deeper than their appearances and some of it was ugly. I enjoyed how this book DIDN’T fall into the dreaded sequel curse and not live up to the quality of the first. There were a few spots that felt slow when the gang was in between battles but it might have been necessary to allow the reader to breathe freely every o [...]

This was an October read for my book club, The Book Cove. Torment is the sequel to Kendal’s debut novel, Bloodlines and second book in the trilogy. The characters were flushed out more in this book. We got to know them deeper than their appearances and some of it was ugly. I enjoyed how this book DIDN’T fall into the dreaded sequel curse and not live up to the quality of the first. There were a few spots that felt slow when the gang was in between battles but it might have been necessary to [...]

Against my better judgement, I read the second installment after all. If I was annoyed with the language in the first book, that was nothing compared to this one. This may just be me, but, when writing a series the language and dialogue exchanged, should be consistent throughout. I found that the characters were speaking in a completely different manner to what they did in the first book; excessively using words such as 'mate', 'bloody', 'fancy' etc. words that were not once used in the first no [...]

For my book club's recent read, we read and discussed Torment by Linsay Anne Kendall. Torment is the second book in her Bloodlines series. I loved this series and thought Torment was an incredible sequel.My favorite aspect of this book was that it was not like many sequels that fall flat compared to the first book. I didn't feel that it was irrelevant. In fact, this book complimented the series beautifully! I felt that Torment gave the characters more depth and had developed the characters well. [...]

Once again I apologise for the late review. Tormentwell what can I say it really does torment you. This story goes a lot deeper than Bloodlines did. We learn a lot more about Keira and the young mens families, and the best part, we see a whole lot more of Eligos. *swoons*Keira and her friends are being tormented in every sense of the word by the person or thing that wants to kill them. The group are close to exhaustion and being torn apart on occasions. There are a lot more fight scenes, a very [...]

Review from busymomsbookreviewsTorment was even better than Bloodlines, Lindsay is a wonderful writer. The second book picks up after Keira has died and the group is trying to deal with her death. During a battle Keira comes back from hell with Eligos and an army of demons. A whole new set of drama enfolds when she comes back. Both of the boys that Keira had previously seen are jealous of Keiras relationship with Eligos. There are new characters who show up and we learn more about the history of [...]

the writing style is very simple like the first one and the story is always so interesting. I was very curious to know what had happened to Kiera in hell, and it was the parts of the story I love the most. The feelings of the characters are predictable and frustating but we're so happy for them at the end!I was so surprised by Tyler, I didn't think he could change like that. We don't learn a lot about the fight but we undertand little by little what they want. I think it would be epic ! I can't [...]

Immediately read this after reading the first in this series, Bloodines. I really enjoyed this one a little more than the first. Mostly because I think in the first book I was trying to get used to the writing style. This book had an unexpected ending (ugh, and cliffhanger!) so I am anxiously waiting for the final book in this trilogy. This book takes me out of my comfort zone with actions from the characters that I don't necessarily agree with. (Won't specify since it would be a spoiler) It is [...]

This is a million times better than the first Torment.Kiera comes back from hell and its more descriptive than last time.There are new characters some are better described than others.On the plus side she has done her usual thing.A cliffhanger.d when I say a cliffhanger,I mean a cliffhanger.Aarrrggghhhhh I hate them

I enjoyed this book much more than the first. Well worthy of the 5 star rating. This is much more in depth, and leave you with a killer cliffhanger. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for the finale.

Mon avis : betweendandr/2011My english review : betweendandr/2011
