A review by josy
The Invasion of Tork by Al Stewart, Claire Davis
5.0
~ 4.5 stars ~
A very emotional story that deals with the heavy topic of homelessness and all that comes with it when someone finds themselves in this situation and can't find their way out on their own. Still, this story ends on a hopeful note. Not only for a new chance at life but also for a love between two young men so utterly different.
Tork broke my heart and I just wanted him to be happy and safe. But at the same time, I was also proud of him.
I'm not sure if it's me or the wonderful writing but I loved Adam from the beginning even when he was an arrogant prick without any empathy. I actually felt kind of sorry for him and couldn't wait for him to see what was right in front of him.
No matter if a short story or a full-length novel, these authors never fail to capture my attention from beginning to end. I love their writing and their capability to pull me in completely. I just wish there would have been a trigger warning for the topic of self-harm in the blurb. For some, this is a very sensitive issue and we need to prepare ourselves before reading about it.
edit: the publisher reacted immediately and put a content warning in the blurb. Thank you for that!!!
