Torn Lives
Torn Lives captivates pain, love, lust, and revenge in one breath. Passion bores through souls while the heart yearns to seek revenge. Secrets are unfolded, lives are destroyed, but will time heal their wounds? If no one hears their secrets, then no one can reveal their secrets. Do we judge people for their actions, or do we show compassion for their transgressions?
The stories in Torn Lives bring to life real issues that most people do not want to talk about. Instead they bury the pain and pray that no one will ever find out. But where there is mystery and curiosity, their secrets will be exposed. Each storyline elaborates on incidents and emotions most people or someone in one’s life can relate to. In Torn Lives love and war are seen from different perspectives; the heart mourns and the heart heals. But in life we must all know that there will always be trials and tribulations. How one chooses to cope with his or her own situation may lead to more destruction. Torn Lives will take you to a place where you will feel the different emotions.

Torn Lives is a collection of three disturbing stories. They each have to do with love ..or hate ..and anything and everything in between.
In THE PILLOW TALK THAT BETRAYED HER, Shaunia Blackman falls hard for a tall, dark and handsome man. But he has his own agenda and it will rip her life apart.
A VIOLET TURN is about a man who loves a woman who has a hidden side. When she doesn't get what she wants and when she wants it, things can turn deadly.
THE VENGEANCE THEY DIDN'T SEE COMING tells the story of two people looking for justice for a man who suffered a tragedy at the hands of another. So how can they make him pay for what he did?
The stories are interesting enough, but I was expecting a bit more suspense than what is offered here. Some of the characters I really liked .. and then there are others that I wanted to reach through the pages and shake some sense into them.
Many thanks to the author / BooksGoSocial / Netgalley for the digital copy of TORN LIVES. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Short stories that are hard to read, but they are good Like any short story book, some are good, some are ok. But, there is usually something for everyone. My favorite: The Vegeance; I did not see the coming. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.
