Running away from the dangerous Extremists seemed like the right thing to do. But in her escape with Linc to a hidden, remote place in Northern Canada, she soon finds being on the run is just as dangerous. Crossing Elemental territory lines where boundaries are the most volatile, and prejudices run hot, Vela and Linc struggle to stay alive. Limping into the uppermost reaches of Canada to their sanctuary, the Polar Bear Lodge, Vela and Linc discover a utopia. Families of intermarriages, couples with differing elements, have produced children with multiple gifts and Vela and Linc see what their world would be like if their clans stopped fighting and lived peacefully. The answer is to unite the clans, which a long-awaited prophecy promises if the Chosen Child comes to do it. Vela is, once again, forced to accept she might be the mother of this Child, but is she willing to be a part of this prophecy? To complicate her life further, someone in this community is determined to win Vela's attention. Her Intended bond with Linc doesn't stop this Elemental from trying everything he can to entice her. Can Linc win the fight for her heart? Will this prophecy be her undoing or the Elementals' salvation?

I got hooked on the Elemental Series while reading the first book, Terra, a few months ago. There was something about Sofia Simpson's blend of the familiar with the fantastical that captured my imagination. And, I'll be the first to admit that I can really get into a good YA fantasy novel like Torch and its predecessor.
Torch is the second Elemental Series novel and it turned out to be every bit as good as the first one â�" and even ends on a cliffhanger, too, just like that one did. Not every succeeding novel in a series can pull off the same strength and quality as the previous one or ones but Sofia Simpson seemed to do just that with this one. Not only is the Elemental aspect continued but it is carefully built upon and expanded.
I found the story to be full of adventure, clean romance, and some pretty good messages about boundaries, respect, honesty, and simply growing up. Torch also affirms family and faith in a realistic fantasy setting.
As I'm sure you can tell, I did enjoy the book and after that ending I'm a little desperate to find out where Sofia Simpson will be taking her characters next and what will befall them along the way...
(I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)
