The Torn World (Harvesting, #5)

by Melanie Karsak

[kimbacaffeinate]

This series began with The Harvesting a zombie infested apocalyptic world that will satisfy your “Walking Dead” obsession before it twisted into a paranormal fantasy series that gave it an urban fantasy vibe as we followed different human groups and watched them merge into a tightly knit group of survivors. Magic, zombies, shifters, FAE and more terrorized and enchanted the pages of this series.

There are three full-length novels in this series; The Harvesting, The Shadow Aspect and Torn World, but I urge you to read the two novellas; Midway and Witch Wood. With the genre jumping and twists in this tale, these novellas are essential. My recommendation is to read them in order. I promise it is quite the ride! Layla, Cricket and Amelia are all kickass heroines who you will root for.

This tale picks up shortly after the events of Witch Wood as the groups merge. Karsak gave us intense moments, allowed us to say good-bye and provided plenty of non-stop action before concluding this series. We sort of come full circle in this tale and I loved how the author answered questions and allowed each of the characters to reach their potential. I am still amazed at how our journey began in a zombie infested world and swooped into fantasy with magic, other worlds and more. Karsak delivered a tale and characters that became real to me giving me one heck of a book high. I was deeply satisfied with the way things ended despite the fact that I will miss these kick-ass heroines and their friends.
