Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Lisa Helmick

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a continuation from the last book. Troy and Jema are living off the grid, trying to survive. I loved that part of the book. Seeing what they did at their location to survive. The story surprised me at times and others it seemed in limbo. The characters are intriguing. I mean Troy and Jema are very smart and ingenious. They impress me with their maturity. When other people are added to the mix they take Troy and Jema at age value. They are always surprised when they realize what Troy and Jema can and will do to survive. I do enjoy all the coded messages, whistles and sign language among others that they use for communication. That was very cool!

Overall I didn’t love this (I really wanted to because book 1 impressed me so much). Among the action and drama there were too many lull times. I know some are expected but I was almost to the point of flipping pages during that time. The character building is good although I didn’t see much growth in the two main characters (secondary characters-yes). The world created was still great. Very different to think of the US that way. That ending??? It just blew me away! I was surprised and shocked!

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series and it was a good 4 star read.

Following book one in the series, we start with Jema and Troy who have fled to the middle of nowhere setting up a safe place to stay until they get word on their next move. The virus has returned and some high ranking people are fighting over it. When a group of their friends end up joining them, the adventure kicks in from here.

Will they be able to save humanity?

They have a goal to reach and they are determined to get it done. You get pulled in right from the beginning and we get lots of twists and turns. We get action, danger and so much more. Jema was a strong character and all the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I couldn’t help but think about current events while reading this and kind of freaking myself out slightly, LOL. Could we possibly be getting another book in the series? If you’re looking for a great read that will have you on the edge of your seat, 1-click and get started today.

Having read the previous book in this series and enjoying I was looking forward to this one and I wasn’t disappointed. The dystopian genre isn’t really one that I read but I found I was really able to get in to this story quite quickly. It was an interesting and intriguing read and with the world currently going through the situation we are the book is actually quite apt – maybe that’s why I felt like I could get into more as I was able to draw some parallels to real life possibly?!? Just hopefully not the vaccine part of the book!! The authors writing is great, she really drags you into the world that she has created and her descriptive language is great – really helps me as a reader build a picture of what I am reading. It was also nice to read a more plot driven story – I felt like I was really into what I was reading rather than thinking about the characters and their development.
Overall a good read, interesting storyline and I would definitely recommend it.

Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. This YA/Dystopian is filled with action, adventure and deep provoking subjects. I would highly recommend you read book one, Lovelock Ones, first to get the full storyline. Jema and her friends are back and trying to save the world. Tricia Copeland is a great storyteller and this series is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the growth of the characters. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

This is the second novel in the Lovelock Books from Tricia Copeland. I would really recommend reading the first book before you dive into this one as it sets up a lot of the story and things may get a tad confusing trying to traverse this second novel. This one is also set in a dystopian type world and gives us a front row seat as Jema and Troy tackle each obstacle and adventure in the novel. The end goal is to save the world so things of course can be pretty epic. I loved the adventure and the sense of intrigue as you read and how I managed to keep myself literally on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen. These novels tend to keep me either interested and intrigued or overwhelm me and are hard to read, and this one definitely falls in the intrigue and interested category. I look forward to seeing what will happen next for the kids as they move forward with the next novel.

Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series. I recommend reading the first book to get the background.

This is a fast-paced dystopian novel with a lot of twists and turns. It will keep you engaged as you follow Jema and Troy in the next phase of their journey. Torch is full of adventure as the kids do their best to figure out who they can trust as they try to save the world. This story is a great sequel to the first book and has left things with room for more stories to develop.

The one thing I will say is that if you are struggling with news overload about what is happening with COVID-19 right now, you may not be able to enjoy this as much as it deserves. I think I would have been able to appreciate this even more if I had waited to read it when I’m not inundated with IRL news.

5 Stars

Let me start with saying I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and I seriously loved this one but, it’s been so long since I read the first that it took me quite a while to put everything in order again in my mind. Some things I never did get worked out so really wish I had read the first one again before starting this one. I will make sure to reread both of these before the next one comes out.

It was Book 1 that started my now love for Dystopian novels..These are written so well and feel so real, especially with our world in the state it is in right now. I love Troy and Jema, and many of the secondary characters. I truly felt as though I was fighting this battle with them throughout.

This is an awesome story, one that I completely connected with and can not wait for more of this series as well as from this author. I love her writing style and how when I start I don’t want to put the books down.

I would not try to read this by itself, there’s quite a few moving parts that start in book 1 and they are both fabulous reads!

This is the second book in the Lovelock series. I was surprised at the difference in this story compared to the first one. I think it helps reading the first book before this one- but backstory is really important to me. The one thing that threw me was the name changes- though I understand the reason for it, it was slightly confusing. Jema and Troy are in this book as the main characters- but I feel like Troy was less of a main this time around and more background. I did enjoy the story- I’m interested to see if there’s another book in the making. I would be curious to see where they take the story from here.

The more I read Tricia Copeland, the more she’s becoming my favorite author. She has a way of telling stories that capture your imagination or stir deeply within you. This science fiction read is no different.
In this read, that’s completely different from any other books by the same author, we find 16-yr-old Jema, a teen fugitive marked runaway who exposed a DNA based deadly virus, she and her allies are being hunted by her menacing uncle. Until she can put pressure on him to release the antidote, the world will be at risk.
Subjected to fighting like soldiers in a desert island, Jema seeks out those who’ll take pity on the group in an effort to help them but their supplies are being depleted at every turn for the teen and her allies, it’s a fatal trek to escape.
Can Jema heal the public territory before the world sinks into the abyss?
Great read again from Tricia Copeland as it’s full of action, bravery, and time-pacing to surely have your heart racing!

Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series I would recommend reading this series in order as it continues on from book one, with the same characters and story line.
This book is a fantastic follow up to book one. I was transported back into Jema’s world so quickly and easily. This book was as exciting and fast paced as the first one. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen.
If you are a fan of this genre then I would definitely recommend you try this series. It is well written, exciting and have characters that are so easy to get behind. I am enjoying this very much and can’t wait to see what else might be to come.

Torch by Tricia Copeland a four-star read that will shine a light for you. This is the second story in the Lovelock YA Dystopian science fiction series and it picks up after the first so its likely best you read them in order I have and I enjoyed them both that way. This was startling real at the moment as the first story revels a world after a flu wipes out most of the population and now its back, this story is about how the powerful few control how they cope with this second wave and how power controls. Jema is a great character and she will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride that will have you clinging to the story by you fingertips.

The story Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland is a YA/Dystopian book that I loved reading. It is a story that had me hooked from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story that includes danger, secrets, action, and wonderful characters that I couldn’t help but root for their success. I love the character of Jema. She is a young girl who is feisty, strong, and independent. She has been branded as a traitor. Who can she trust? Can she get the cure for a lethal contagion to be released? This is a fast-paced story that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Jema is a character that has a fierce determination. Many other characters interact with Jema and I enjoyed reading about. They are helpful to her. Then some only look after themselves and have their own agenda. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Jema. I also found my emotions going up and down through the book. Don’t miss out on a story that I found entertaining and full of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I highly recommend reading it.

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!

Torch is the second book in the Lovelocked Series. This is a great series. I have a hard time with some young adult series, but this series is amazing. This book gives us the story of Jema and Troy. Jema’s government is after her, for something that is way over her head. There is a disease spreading through the community there is only one cure, and it runs in Jema’s veins. Branded a loyalist to her uncle and a traitor to her country, Jema, and her friends are on the run.
Fighting for their lives in a desolate desert, Jema and her friends find a group of sympathizers who will help her. And help her get the cure to the people.
This YA dystopian science fiction book has a little bit for all genre lovers. Copeland is an amazing storyteller and she never ceases to amaze me with each new book. Highly recommended for all genre lovers.

Thea who is the beloved granddaughter of the emperor and her brother have fled their home for their safety and aren’t sure when or if they will return. The characters truly bring this story to life. I am so glad that I took a chance and cant wait to read more by this author.

Midnight in the House of Lang by Bree M. Lewandowski is a Dystopian/Romance. I’m going to be honest I was simply intrigued by the title and the cover is amazing. Dystopian is not normally genre would read. It took me a bit to get into the story but once I did I found myself lost in the pages and I had to know what was going to happen next. This is set in the future, the characters are very developed and the story is well written. Thea is a young woman who has had to run away from a life of luxury and glamour as war ravages the land. Captain Surov is a man whose life is about protection and service. There is definitely attraction between these two. Can these two have a future together with the raging battle going on? Find out what happens next in this must read book that at moments will have you on the edge of your seat to moment of pulling at your heart strings.

It is a steampunk sci-fi and unique in Bree’s telling as she has cleverly woven the threads together with her wonderful world building. Her vivid words make the world seem real and the journey is set in a future where the world has been ravaged by war and society has been reduced back to horses and steam power to airships and much more. I am looking forward to seeing what Bree has in store for us next and where she will take us.
