Torrent (River of Time, #3)

Spoil-Free-Review
After Cascades emotional and fantastic ending, Gabi and Lia find themselves racing back to 14th-Century Italy. For Gabi she is racing back to her true love, for Lia she races back to save her family and an unspoken romance that has risen in her own heart. Coming back this time however will have its consequences, getting back home will be almost impossible and perhaps out of the question now that a life hangs in the balance.
Gabi knows her family will be making a huge sacrifice to stay in ancient Italy but also knows she tied to Marcello in a way that cant be broken, that is until events change the political atmosphere surrounding Marcello and the nation of Sienna. With a shocking wrench thrown into the plotting, Gabi's life may take a completely new direction than she ever imagined. While those who love her fight back and Gabi risks everything, the torrent that threatens to devour them all rears it ugly head.
My favorite of three, Torrent was a fast rollercoaster of emotion, shocking plot twists and a gorgeous well-done end. I cant review any of the stuff that made Torrent what it was due to not spoiling it for readers, is all I can say is that things happened that I wanted to happen and things happened that shocked me. Lisa threw in some added drama for Gabi that she needed in order to truly see what being with Marcello would mean, she also by the end grew Gabi into a fully developed character that shreds the last lingering thoughts of a 21st century teenager yet still maintains her spunk, bravery and courage.
Now that Ive finally docked the boat after being on a river that turns, spins, crashes, rips you under with its current and then gently calms you with its tranquility, I must say reading the River of Time series has been a marvelous adventure. I love these novels more than cake and that's saying a lot!! Lisa Bergren with her Jedi Master skills at romance, history that doesn't put me to sleep and action that jumps off the pages had me at page one in Waterfall, made me fall in love in Cascade and stole my heart with Torrent. This is a series that will stick with you long after you finish......

So jealous I want
I thought this was a 6 book series?
No word yet on a 6er, but Ms. Lisa said in an interview she wants to write more...so Im sure there will be some later....:)
I'm seriously depressed that I have to wait for this book. I just finished Cascade and OMG! I'm so worked up! *sigh* Gosh it was so SO good!
JEN!!! Torrent comes Sept 1 so not long....are you doing the read-a-long with us for Waterfall...**Team Marcello**
YES!! Omg, yes! I'm so addicted it's not even funny! I'm going to get my stuff up for posting this weekend. *Team Marcello ALL THE WAY*
You all wouldn't by chance know when Torrent is going to be released on Kindle, do you? Unless I'm blind, Amazon shows the Sept 1 release to be paperback only.
Caitlin- no clue Im assuming it will be out the same day or shortly after.....:D
Let's hope it's September 1st because I have plans to have it delivered to my Kindle that morning around midnight. :D Vacation starts the 1st which means no Hubby to make me go to bed! :D *mwah ha ha ha* Time Travel Drama...here I come!
