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

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.

If you love a sci fi dystopian world story then you will love this series.
Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series. I recommend reading the first book before this because this is truly a continuation of the story. If you like YA, dystopian, sci-fi, or adventure you will enjoy this story. It is fast paced and kept me reading until late into the night. I really enjoy the Jema because she is at the heart of trying to save everyone but has been named as a traitor. Those who she comes across are a varied lot. Who and why should she trust them?
This story is really timely because it is dealing with a contagion which has been taking out the population and the cure for all. Greed is a big player in the motives of people at the top rungs. Can Jema get the cure before it is too late?
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Torch (Lovelock Book 2)
by Tricia Copeland
I want to start by saying that if you haven’t read book 1 first I think you should so you can get a better understanding because book 2 is a continuation from the first one, and of course it’s a great book.This book is full of adventure, danger, action, and unexpected turns. We follow Jema and Troy as they are in a race against time to try to save humanity. We get introduced to new characters and experience their relationships with each other evolve. Even though Jema and Troy are young, they are strong survivors. The author wrote a great story with vivid detail so I felt like I was along for the adventure. I can’t wait to see what comes out next. I recommend this book.

4-stars
Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland was a great dystopian novel. It is the second book in a series. I have not read the first book and was worried about reading this book out of turn. I was pleased, however, with the explanation the author gave to help readers know what is occurring. The storyline revisited what occurred in book one which helped me tremendously. I do want to go back and read the first book based on how much I enjoyed this book. It took me some time to get into it though. I loved the characters and was amazed with everything they went through. I loved how prepared they were for the circumstances. This is an enjoyable novel and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Torch is the 2nd book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. It picks up where LoveLock Ones left off, so it should be read in order. The downfall of reading a brand new book, is now I have to wait for the next book in the series. This series is a solid dystopian series, with a twist of science fiction. It is action packed and you won’t want to put it down. I was hoping this book would end differently, but instead it leaves us with a lot of anxiety and frustration. It is a wonderfully written story, with strong characters and a solid plot. The book follows Jema, a teenager on the run, after being branded a traitor. Her uncle is about to cause WWIII and Jema and her friends are trying to prevent that. There is a deadly virus circulating, and Jema and her boyfriend Troy were the keys to making a cure. They are constantly on the run, fighting for survival. Jema has the weight of the world on her shoulders, along with the survival of their group. It’s a lot for a 16 year old, but she is strong and one of the best female leads I’ve read about. Highly recommend this series. Copeland, hurry up with book 3 now, anxiously awaiting!
Torch by Tricia Copeland was a great novel! I had a little trouble with events in the beginning, as this is the second novel in the Lovelock series, and I have not read the first book in the series yet. However after getting into it, I found I immensely enjoyed it! A very apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic novel, this felt very preeminent to me, in the fact that with everything in the world going on right now the way it is, this could very well be out future in a couple of years. So I felt some melancholy while reading, but it was a great read! I highly recommend this novel.
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 is a post-apocalyptic/Sci-Fi read from author Tricia Copeland. This is my second read from this author and once again She has created another captivating and imaginative read that is easy to read and flows from chapter to chapter.
This author writing style makes this read so real and realistic I felt as though I was entwined within the story, and it was made believable in a way that made you stop and think.
This book is filled with action, adventure and danger. It’s suspenseful and thrilling and keeps you guessing. The characters that Tricia Copeland has created are relatable, and you can connect with them on many levels throughout the read. The journey Jema and Troy make again in this read pushes what we already saw in Book 1 to the next level, this book has you on the edge of your seat along wondering what really will happen next. Tricia Copeland has left us wondering again with this ending and has left us wanting more! I can’t wait to see where our next story takes us. I highly recommend this read!
This young adult dystopian novel is a fast paced read, second in the lovelock series and is heavily action based. 16 year old Jema along with her friends is faced with an almost impossible task to save the world, against a deadly virus. Her sinister uncle, who rules the government is against releasing the cure for this lethal contagion. So, in the middle of the desert, with limited resources, she has to battle against time to get the cure out. She and her friends are branded as traitors and are on the chase.
The most interesting part about this book is that we can relate it to what is happening around us now with the pandemic around us. The virus is up on the rise and if the cure is not found, the whole world is at risk. Rings a very familiar bell right? I enjoyed reading this page turner.
The only thing I thought was that the plot is so heavily action packed and dialogue oriented, there is a very little description of the setting of the story itself. The reader doesn’t miss it in the midst of all the action, but it would have been more interesting to read when more attention is paid to the little details around the setting, which most authors do, to enhance the beauty of the story.
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 (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland
Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. I freaking loved this YA/ Dystopian, from the first page till the very last . The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Jema and her friends take us on an adventure there might be bloodshed and things definitely get turned upside down for the planet. Jema is sixteen and has been deemed a traitor. Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to see what this Author brings us next.
Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland is the first book I have read in the series. So, I am reading these out of order. I will say that I will definitely be going back and reading the first one in the series though! I am a HUGE fan of dystopian novels and Tricia Copeland don’t not disappoint. There were a few things I missed out on since I did not read the first book, so I can’t wait to fill the gap. Jema is a wonderful heroine, unbeknownst to herself of course. I loved following her along in her journey. The story is fast paced and keeps you at the edge of your seat, I can’t wait to see what Tricia Copeland has up her sleeve for Jema. No doubt it will be just as exciting as this book. It gave me a good dose of what I look for in a YA/Dystopian story, and I know it will give you that apocalyptic feel that you desire when reading these types of stories.
All I can say is I need more. I definitely wish I had read the first book before this one so I could have had all of the backstory, but either way I couldn’t put this down. This was a very easy book to read. Kept my interest from page one until the last. I look forward to more in this series!
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.
Torch by Tricia Copeland
Four Stars
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!
In the is where this book takes place. I would recommend reading the first book in the series before leaping into the second as character have already been established there. Tory and Jema are on the run. The base of this arrow is about a killer virus and a battle with its cure this real hits home due to the current predicaments. I felt like I was right there with Tory and Jema and stepping with them.
This is a read with many twist and that are unexpected. It’s up to Jema and Tory to save humanity.
