Alrighty then. I just had an enjoyable time reading blog posts about Torment and Passion. I have to say that the author did manage to answer a lot of my questions in the end. She did NOT answer my questions about Cam though! So, Luce and Cam have this connection. It's talked about in all four books. We read about Cam's "lost love"; Cam and Luce have another "moment" in the cave when Luce is putting on her robe and Cam desperately wants Luce to trust him because he tells her "in order for you to do what you need to do, you can't see me as the enemy." So I keep waiting and waiting for what this all means..... I'm still waiting. For awhile I thought that Cam was actually connected to Lucifer - or maybe he was Lucifer - or he was Luce's first love - something. Instead, on the last page of the book, Shelby asks if anyone has heard from Cam. Everyone goes quiet, and then the subject is changed. What?? Seriously, did I miss something here?
As I stated in earlier blogs about this series, I like the premise of this story: the whole Satan vs. God theme - with good triumphing over evil in the end - but I still don't like that Luce and Daniel choose mortal love over God's love. A lifetime of sitting in church worshipping God prevents me from accepting this I guess. I think it sends the wrong message to all the teens reading this series. I believe that God is Love, so I wish the author would NOT have had these two fallen angels so blatantly spit in the face of God, so to speak, and choose each other over him.
I have read enough teen fiction now to know that authors don't have to be so repetitive to get their message across. If I hear one more time how much Daniel and Luce love each other..... Honestly. WE GET IT. I was really hoping that Cam would come in a shake things up a bit - but I was sorely disappointed.
This wasn't a bad read, but it was certainly no "Hunger Games" or "Divergent"!
