“More so than most, Dark Touch is hard to put down and, fueled by Sloan's drive to survive, is one of the best new publications to appear this season, in this genre. Very highly recommended!” –Midwest Book Review

This is a great story I read in one sitting, fast paced, intriguing characters. A whole new twist on the good vs evil story. I liked the fact the main character has real responses to her situation and struggles with it. The main reason I dropped a star is that the ending got a bit too confusing and over complicated and it ended with no real answers. I know it’s a cliffhanger but you tend to get some clear direction, but there wasn’t one. I will be definitely looking forward to the next book though, as I need answers.

I give this book three stars because I believe in second chances and I think there is potential and since is the first book of a trilogy maybe the story will get better in the next two books. maybe if it was a little longer and the ending a little less confusing I would loved it better.

Dark Touch by Elle Lewis, a quick enjoyable fantasy read. Sloan is on her way home and runs into a man who is more than he seems and evil might just be the best description for him. When she gets away from him, she realizes that he is after her for reasons unknown and if he gets ahold of her who knows what will happen.

Thank you to Black Rose writing for the arc of this book.
This book was an interesting read, it held me from the get go, and had a very interesting take on the whole demons and angels.
I look forward to seeing what happens next with Sloan, and hopefully James.

Dark Touch fits perfectly into the paranormal and urban fantasy genre. What I liked most about it, apart from being my favorite genre, was its original mythology. The market is saturated with stories about vampires, werewolves, and witches (which I love and write about it, too). Therefore, a story that brings in new supernatural creatures is like a breath of fresh air!
This is not epic fantasy, so don’t expect intricate world-building, just enough for the plot to make sense. The characters, on the other hand, are intriguing and the fast pace of the story kept me engaged till the last page. By the way, if you’re planning to read it, arm yourself with patience, because it ends with a cliff hanger! But you’ll get some sort of closure, so it’s not bad, just leaves you wanting for more!
Sloan, the main character is touched by a supernatural creature and is supposed to die instantly. When she doesn’t, she attracts the attention of both the being who tried to kill her and others who want to protect her. A tug-of-war ensues. Sloan finds herself hunted both in the real world and in her dreams.
“Flashes of the battle raced across my thoughts. There were three of the warrior beings. I replayed what was said, trying to piece together information. Give her to me, Dark One. The warriors prevented Darrow from taking me. But it seemed as if they wanted me as well. For what reason, I still didn’t know.”

This was an interesting start to a new series. There were a few slow parts to the story but it started picking up. I was glad to see that happen because the story was one that I enjoyed reading. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this novel.
