Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Angela Hayes

Torch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series by Tricia Copeland- it’s the intriguing sequel to Lovelock Ones (Book One). This is a very interesting and thought provoking sci-fi, post-apocalyptic/dystopian adventure story with plenty of action, dramatic developments, danger- and more. And I couldn’t help drawing parallels to what’s going on in our world right now.
In Lovelock Ones, the story gave an intriguing look at the world after a flu epidemic wipes out three quarters of the population in less than two years- leaving the remaining population dealing with massive poverty, famine, global warming, government control, factions, DNA testing/typing, and the ever present treat of another epidemic. We met Jema and Troy back in book one and followed them on quite an adventure. Torch sees us joining back up with them to continue the next phase of their adventure.
The virus has reared its ugly head once more. With the cure/vaccine being held back whilst the powers that be battle it out for control. It’s going to be up to Jema and Troy to step up and to save humanity. This is a tense race against time- with the fate of the world riding on the outcome.
Again, the way the story ended left an opening for more stories in the future- I will definitely keep a lookout for one, as well as any future work by Ms. Copeland.
So, if you love a tense, sci fi/dystopian story, with an intriguing storyline and fantastic characters- then this book/series is definitely for you!

Thank you, Ms. Copeland!
