Torn Apart is a novel by D.E. Chapman about two twins being separated. Seraphine and Arden both deal with their own trials while the hope they will ever reunite seems more like a fantasy with every passing day.
This book luckily comes with some trigger warnings to help readers decide whether or not they want to read it. The big one for me was rape as that is one of the few things that trigger me. But I decided that even with that warning I would continue reading.
The sex scenes tend to be of dubious consent (dubcon). This book is an Omegaverse which is a complicated thing to explain as the sub-genre can go a million different ways depending on what the author wants to do. But, to keep it simple, there is a dynamic of Alpha/Beta/Omega. This book has Alphas and Omegas part of breeding while Betas sort of just exist. A/B/O is based on the stereotypical ideas of a wolf pack.
So back to the majority of the sex scenes...Seraphine and Arden are both Omegas and go into heat. So at first their bodies drive them to have sex but then they end up bonding with the Alphas that had sex with them. If you consider this rape, or are also triggered by dubcon, you will need to pass up on this book.
Seraphine and Arden are both given dark paths to walk down. With Seraphine having the darkest storyline out of the pair. How she changes throughout the book is heartbreaking but in a really good way. I truly felt for her and felt frightened every moment she was tortured.
I would recommend Torn Apart to those that don't mind their books getting more than a little dark.
