My Torin

5 “breathelicktastetouchsmellfeel” Stars
If I had a Penny for every thought in K’s brain, I’d be sitting on a yacht anchored in my own private island!

A girl born out of rejection and abandonment, always cold and withdrawn. She’s a veritable Cinderella waiting for her shoe to drop. She sees a penny on the pavement and bends to pick it up, her luck changes and she meets her Prince Charming. Only he’s NOT !!
He’s dark, disturbed and cloaked in shadows.
Three characters, Casey & Kline Brothers- Tyler & Torin ! Both smart & handsome rescuers , one warm , smiling, comfortable. The other silent & unfeeling. Who does she love?
Both actually in her own way
Two princes. One castle. I’ve died and gone to princess heaven. There’s a villain, though. I just haven’t discovered him yet.
I wait for K to get on this mindset to write these kind of books. She has it in her to completely blow your mind with these psychologically twisted stories because she’s unafraid to experiment and explore the dark spaces .
She creates a beautiful haunted Casey, who’s had nothing but bad luck since before she was born. She came into this world blue and shaking and has been cold and rejected ever, until Tyler brings warmth that envelops her heart and drives her demons away.
Cocaine Casey— the mystery baby who was addicted to drugs. A blanket, a simple note, and a bag of pennies, the only things to my name.
These people with be you for a long time. Kristi managed to generate sympathy and empathy , both ! You will want to slide in & out of the walls, chasing minds, trying to draw out the silent words other than “Casey Casey”.
I was hooked from the prologue. Yup, Line & Sinker. Couldn’t put the book down. It’s that interesting and unique. My eyes opened to people suffering from mental handicaps & struggles they and their loved ones go through on a daily basis. I loved how K kept the characters authentic and consistent. There are no miraculous recoveries or unbelievable turns of fate . Cinderella may have met a “GodMother” of sorts but there’s a very difficult Happily Ever After in this dark fairytale. Its almost as casey lost the slipper and now has to walk Rocky path bare feet. It hurts, its pinches and she loses a lot on the way. Sensitive and beautiful, a story of unusual Princes who rescue a distraught Damsel and turn her into a Princess
Go read the book people .It’s fantastic and true “K-Element” book

***5 ‘You’re Everything At Once’ Stars***

One of the things I love about K Webster’s books is that you never really know what you’re going to get, even when she comes out and tells you what the book will be like. There is always that moment where I wonder if I’m interpreting the blurb, or the teasers, correctly and then I just say f*ck it and dive in because the words are coming from the mind of K. Webster, and I’m all kinds of fangirly over those words, and I know that I’m going to have an experience and did I have an EXPERIENCE with My Torin. It was nothing like I had expected and yet I absolutely adored it all. The feels were all too real and I simply devoured the words and never wanted them to end.

The journey Torin, Tyler and Casey go on is all kinds of beautiful, even if it’s a messy sort of beautiful. It’s not an easy road for any of them as they each have demons and struggles of their own to work through and overcome, but when they hit those moments of clarity it’s like a whole new world opens up for them. They each learn what it means to love and be loved as well as learning to see beyond what is on the outside, because much of the time it only shows a small percentage of the big picture.

I know this review is all kinds of vague, but so is the description of the book, so vague it is. It was extremely difficult to write this review because I want to go all kinds of verbal vomit-y on My Torin because it really is a beautiful story with an amazing message woven into it, but I don’t want to spoil the various twists and turns for anyone, so I’m going to keep things short and sweet. But Ms. Webster truly brought her A game with her first release of 2018 and I for one cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve for the rest of the year!

Just an amazing story I cried 3 times and that is unusual for me. Don’t want to spoil it for others though so you got to read it.

OUTSTANDING

I’m a freak, a misfit, an odd end.
Abandoned and unloved.
But my happiness is so close I can taste it.
Until he shows up.
Gorgeous, expensive, and all man.
Sad brown eyes and a brilliant smile.
And he wants me to go with him.
His intentions are hidden.
His motives are unclear.
Yet, I leave with him because there’s no happiness here.
What he promises feels too good to be true…
A castle. A fortune. And horses too.
It’s too easy.
Nothing in my life has ever been easy.
What’s the catch?
There’s always a catch.

I have yet again pulled an all niter, my eyes are sore, I’ve got a crick in my neck, coffee is been fed intravenously. Was it worth it? you bet it was!
This subject matter is unique, heart rending and close to home for me.
I have a niece and nephew who have autism, one is OK he is withdrawn, but can be touched, he is closed off to everyone, but his sister and parents, While my niece is whole different ball game.
She has Asperger syndrome as well as been diabetic, she hates anyone touching here, and sits and rocks.
THIS BOOK WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, Unusual, unique powerful story, totally captivating – a huge five star Read and a unique look at the elder autistic people.
I have had my heart shredded reading this. Tyler OMG !!! I sobbed when he died, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT ?
This amazing unique book totally blew me away. with such an unusual story.
K Webster you obviously did some serious research, and put your heart and soul into this story.
The characters of Casey, Torin and Tyler will stay with me long term,
They were so different, challenging and hopefully they will make the reader question labeling people because they don’t sometimes fit inside their neat little box. People with special needs are not freaks THEY ARE JUST SPECIAL !
The author made me fall in love with all three and the way they interacted with each other was so special.
I literally HAVEN’T stop reading it, everything went out of the window as I kept thinking, just one more chapter.
I was totally captivated by this mesmerizing story and a emotional wreck by the end. I felt I had been through a roller coaster of emotions, sadness, anger, laughter, you name it, it was there in spades. What a versatile and talented author.
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars and I strongly recommend it but make sure you have a box of tissues to hand.
It will be hard to beat this book as a top read of 2018. Superb
The soundtrack you compiled is now on my Spotify K Webster, thank you.My Torin

As a huge advocate for mental health, I couldn’t read this fast enough. It takes a lot of guts to write a romance story with a main character who has autism. This was perfection. Torin and his struggles simply gutted me and I rooted for him from the very beginning. An amazing an unique read.

If I could give this book more than 5 Stars I would. K. Webster is AH-MAZING! My emotions were all over the place. I cried, then swooned and then cried some more. I wanted to hug each of them and then cheer them on. I can’t imagine not being able to express my feelings. This book really opens your eyes to to how each person is different in how they see and express things.

One of my favorite quotes from the book “Love. Tyler tried to explain it to me, but it’s indescribable. It’s a thousand sensations all rolled into one. It’s air and nourishment. It’s life.”

If you want a phenomenal book to read, grab ‘My Torin’. It’s everything!

~FIVE STARS!!!~
My Torin is absolutely one of my favorite K. Webster novels, as well as one of my favorite reads to date. It is one that I could go back and reread over and over, grabbing up different bits of emotion with each new pass. Torin is a high functioning and gorgeous autistic male. Casey is an overly sensitive and repetitive female. Tyler is the loving, hopeful, protective and sexy older brother to Torin. These three find their way into each other’s lives and are desperate to never be separated. But one is holding a secret, another can never speak their mind and the last is looking for something they never had.

Ultimately, My Torin left me raw. But, not in a way that has me regretting the read. I am raw with the use of extreme and complex emotions that still to this day have a lingering effect. I don’t have autism, but I felt every struggle Torin dealt with to the most ultimate and painful point. I liken it to a panic attack. That moment of ridiculously high anxiety, that paralyzes your ability to function. That stops the normal words from releasing, that has your body locked deep within a crippling moment attempting to crush your soul. That. That is Torin, every day of his life and the only thing that can soothe the storm is Casey, but Casey has never had it easy and her own demons come to haunt her. There is a glorious HEA, but you will cry. It will be ugly, but letting those tears fall is so worth it.

Oh My, I bloody adored this book like words cannot describe just how much this touched a nerve deep inside me.
Especially since I have experience with the subject in both my son and grandson.
This one was always going to be a topic close to my heart it was inevitable I’d fall in love with it really and I devoured every single word.

This is going to be short (well at least for me) and vague.
My advice here is to read this one completely blind just to get the whole experience and put to one side what you think you know about this author, this really was so different from her usual style and It wasn’t dark at all.
It was stripped back and emotional and took me on such a journey that I had tears dripping down my face.

It was also not graphic in terms of the content this is all about forging a connection, imperfect people and family.
It’s told from the 3 main characters POV’s brothers Tyler and Torin and then Casey who they take into there eccentric family as one of there own, recognising a kindred spirit in her, she just fits like a missing piece of the puzzle.
And even leaning towards a trope I usually avoid as it’s a pet hate of mine I could read this one again very easily, here it all just seemed to fit and it didn’t bother me at all.

And my god I was a mess this really did run the gauntlet in terms of my emotions they were all over the place with this one, I was a bloody wreck.
I especially liked how this tied everything up and how it all came full circle it seemed fitting.
And though the focus was totally on just the three main characters I never felt bored I was just so invested in there unfolding story.

I also loved the letter and the epilogue and this really was the icing for me.
Heartfelt beautiful and total acceptance it what I eventually took away from this one and this story was so bittersweet and as heartbreaking as it was also uplifting.
Totally recommend this 110% and Yep you do need to read this one blind, just dive in.

There was a love triangle here – 2 brothers who love one girl. I didn’t know that before reading, and I wouldn’t have picked it up if I knew. I was very disappointed. I didn’t feel the love between characters who ended up together. It seemed like he was a consolation prize – there was no one else there, so better him than being alone. Not my type of story.

One of my very favorite K Webster books. I honestly didn’t know where this one was going and I didn’t foresee the twists and turns. It’s not dark or super angsty but it gives you all the feels. Just a great book and loved characters that you’ll think about long after you’re done.
