Torn By Amanda Hocking

True to form, Amanda Hocking hit this one out of the park. A great second book to the Trylle trilogy. Torn gets more involved with Wendy and her life at the palace as well as some history of the Trylle. She finds herself in a love triangle. She arranged to marry her good friend and Markis Tove, still has feelings for Finn and feeling new emotions for Loki. Wendy wants to make the right decision for her kingdom, and that's been decreed as marrying Tove, whom she finds out is secretly gay. She knows he will always defend and protect her and that will be happy but what kind of marriage would that be. Especially with a mother in law from hell who wants her son to overthrow Wendy and take the crown for his family. Tove however is loyal and refuses to do such a thing. Finn doesn't like ge idea of Wendy being with anyone, but since he can't be with her he would rather she be with Tove because of him being gay. Wendy is angry that Finn would push her into a marriage where her husband and her would never be in love, instead of encouraging her to find love. Loki is still fighting for Wendy. He wants her to marry him and leave both kingdoms behind. Let them fight it out themselves. Who cares as long as they are happy. Wendy is torn between love and responsibility.
