When a strange boy
tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet,
seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the
opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie
with ice blue eyes home.
Except there’s something off with Kale.
He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like
DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her.
It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more
about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this
boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized.
Kale has been a
prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting
“special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life.
And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of
rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they’re caught and
her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent
her life keeping safe.
A secret Kale will kill to protect.
After reading this book, I realized that I haven't got
too much to say about it. Cover, in the middle of the saved pages, just enough.
But in the end I decided that there is something more! Plot is intriguing, but
is oryginal? That's a good question. "Touch" reminds me of "Paranormalcy" by Kiersten
White (in the dark version) and "Shatter
Me" by Tahereh Mafi. Denazen organization is not good, even though
ostensibly helps people. Father Denzee is like bully, he try to subdue everything.
He hates insubordination and disobedience. At all time I hope that man, who
caused so much evil, he will change. But it didn't happen. I become convinced
that this book is very unpredictable. I get to like characters more than the
plot. I realized that just putting a book back on the shelf. Deznee is
incredibly created character. Strong, At all costs she wants to nark your
father, a typical teenager... The girl is brave and resourceful. I can safely
include she to my favorite main characters. We have Kale anymore. I love this
character from the first scene with his participation. This boy has in yourself
it "something". He never went to the cinema, never was at the sea. He
was a prisoner in Denazen, so doesn't know how to be a really life. Denzee try
explain him everything slowly and calmly. She wants so that he recognise all
the things, which deprived him of organization over the years. But Kale by his
unwittingness is was incredibly funny and sweet. Sincere. Yes. This
is one of the best words which can describe he. He always calls a spade a
spade- it's propably feature of all men.
Organizations that have
in their ranks people with supernatural powers are becoming more common in
books. They protect people, care about their good and punish the bad. But
Denazen is newness. With it all fighting. Sixes- people with gift- want
freedom, possibility to make their own choices. Apparently motives
organizations are presented, its history and everything what the reader
needed. But when I thing about the role of Denazen, I feel unsatisfied. Why did
people keep there is as prisoners? Why did they inject them unknown
substances? Above all, why father Denzee hasn't heart? May answers for some the
puzzles I get in the next tome.
"If I had the ability to
touch anyone else in this world, I still don't believe I'd want it to be anyone
but you.”
We have traditionally love between the main
characters. It is utterly understood. Deznee is the only person who Kale
can touch. All others die on the spot. She is also the first person who
introduced him to new life.Is not that a reason to feel something more? The
girl is afraid that Kyle doesn't see difference between love and
gratefulness. But how will look the fate of the two characters, that I will not
betray it.
The book is ideal for young people, teenager. The authoress
has a specific language, but it is not difficult to reception. She uses a lot
of slang words, but it adds a climate book.
To sum up. The plot of the book may not be the most original, but worthy of
attention. The chracters are great create. In "Touch" is a lot of
different personalities, everyone will find their favorite. History Deznee and
Kale is incredibly addictive. I recommend!
