Toryn by Kimberly Brockman

This book is so well written that it wasn't until I reached the last page did I realize I was reading the second of a series. Refusing to kill or surrender the girl he loves, Chase surrendered himself to give Rayne a chance to escape. Now Chase is being held and tortured, a captive of his father.

When Rayne convinces her best friend, Alex, to help her find Chase, he reluctantly agrees. She knows Alex is keeping something from her, but can't understand why. The search for Chase reveals some surprising truths. One in particular she's not willing to face are her true feelings for Alex. What Rayne doesn't realize is there's more at stake than who ultimately wins her heart. The war of good against evil is coming home to roost and Rayne's allegiance is the prize.

The search takes some surprising turns and the ending is nothing short of genius. Never could I have predicted how this part of the story would be resolved. And oh my, did Brockman leave me wanting the next one in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars
