Everyone has secrets.
Even best friends.
Swirling black descends like ravens, large enough to block the glow of the streetlights. A dull roar starts like a train on the 'L', a far-away rumbling that grows louder as it pulls closer, until it's directly overhead and you feel it in your chest, except this doesn't pass you by. Verity, white-faced and eyes blazing, shouts through the din, "Run, Mo!"
Mo Fitzgerald knows about secrets. But when she witnesses her best friend's murder, she discovers Verity was hiding things she never could have guessed. To find the answers she needs and the vengeance she craves, Mo—quiet, ordinary, unmagical Mo—will have to enter a world of raw magic and shifting alliances. And she'll have to choose between two very different, equally dangerous guys—protective, duty-bound Colin and brash, mysterious Luc. One wants to save her, one wants to claim her. Which would you choose? 

My Take:
Torn in my opinion was the BOMB!!! I loved everything about it. Its about a girl named Mo who gets thrown into the world of magic. When she lost her best friend(Verity)  things start to change in her world of normal. Along the way she meets Luc who is dark and mysterious and introduces her to the world of the Arcs who have magic. She also meets someone who she would rather not be there but is, Colin is her bodyguard and was hired to protect Mo. With the cops after Verity's killer Mo wants answers but ends up getting more than she wanted. Who Mo ends up with is still up in the air even though I think I know who it is. Erica gave us all a piece of the beautiful cake that is the world of the Arks and hopefully us Flats will get more insight and more of the steaming romance that has brewed since Mo met... I love it when a book is so good and keeps you wanting more, Torn is leaving me wanting way more than I thought possible. I was speechless after that last page and I really didn't want to stop reading. So looking forward to Tangled.
