Torch Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 20 ratings

They can save the human race. To do it, they must take down their own government…

Sixteen-year-old Jema is on the run. Branded a traitor for trying to share a DNA-based cure for a lethal contagion, she and her friends are hunted by forces loyal to her sinister uncle. And unless they force him to release the formula, she fears a worldwide war to claim the antigen.

Forced to fight like soldiers in the desolate desert, Jema learns there could be sympathizers who will support a coup. But with only scavenged food and fading hope, she and her small group of grimly determined teens face a deadly trek across dangerous territory.

Can Jema get the cure in the public domain before the planet descends into bloodshed and chaos?

Torch is the second book in the thrilling Lovelock YA dystopian science fiction series. If you like intense action, courage under pressure, and races against time, then you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s fast-paced novel.

**** - "Action-packed, intense readthat I had trouble putting down!" - Books According to Abby

**** - "Those who love a goodfast-paced plot will be pleased with the pacing and no-nonsense story line. Asan added bonus, and especially endearing in a plot-driven book, are a couple ofrare scenes in the midst of the action when varying characters truly make anemotional connection through dialogue and physical actions that rattles theheartstrings of readers." - Casey Hays, YA and NA Author

**** - "If you like dystopian novelswith strong characters and on-the-run action, you'll want to add the LovelockOnes series to your list." - Kelly Risser, YA Author

    So, it's been a minute since I read the first book in this series, Lovelock Ones. It took me a couple chapters to get back into the story here but once I did, it didn't let me go! Jema and Troy were trying to save humanity. But they have a lot of obstacles. I felt like I was there with them, each step of the way. I could picture what they were seeing and feel the desperation and urgency in what they were doing. I was holding my breath, waiting to see what was next for this group and would they accomplish what they set out to do! If you haven't read Lovelock Ones, do that first then come back and get your hands on this book!

    Torch (Lovelock Book 2)
    By Tricia Copeland
    5 out of 5 stars

    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.

    I give Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland, 4 stars.
    **This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

    This is the second book in the YA dystopian series. It picks up where book one left off and is full of adventure, action, heartbreak, and basically just learning to survive. Yes there is a main goal and they are working towards it, but in this new world, everything takes time. The timing of this book being released right now makes it feel all the more like this could really happen. It brings things into a perspective I did not have when I read book one.

    A very well-written story, this book pulls you right in and is interesting from beginning to end. There is so much going on in this book. The characters are great too. You have ones that are back from book one, as well as new characters you will come to love.

    Since this continues the story from book one, I do recommend reading the first book before you delve into this one. However, this is a great dystopian story and I definitely recommend both books.

    Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland
    4 out of 5 stars
    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.

    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.

    The story of Jema and Troy continues with plot twists, action, clean romance, and some political intrigue. There are some major bombshell drops in the book that propelled the story forward. I think the setting could have been a little more detailed in this book; however, I enjoy character-building more and I thought the characters were well-rounded and diverse.

    You definitely need to read the first book, Lovelock Ones, or you aren't going to understand the events in this book. I'm glad about this because there would be so much backtracking in the book that I think it would detract from the plot.

    I hope there will be a third book as the plot ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, which left room for another book. I'd read it, for sure. If you're into YA dystopian sci-fi, you'll enjoy the series as much as I did.

    4 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 YA, 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!
