(015) Deadly Little Secret: A Touch Novel — Laurie Faria Stolarz
I saw the second book in the series at work, looked good, so I started it. Until I found out that was the second book, put the first book on hold and started from the beginning. I looked into it and found out that this is going to be a five book series, with the third coming out later in the year. This kind of kills me because I like reading finished series. But that is just my opinion.
Anyhoo. This book starts with off so much promise. I got into it really easily and then it kind of had Twilight parallels. I know any book can have Twilight parallels. But this has a girl, who meets a guy that saves her life from a moving vehicle. Later they have chemistry class together and then she finds out his secret ‘power.’ If he touches someone he can tell what’s going on in their lives (this is not a spoiler, it’s told in the blurb.) The novel is about the girl dealing with the problems of the ‘bad’ guy who saved her life and intrigued her, her parents, her two best friends, and that pesky guy who is stalking her and some times has chapters himself (from his POV.)
The thing is though, that no matter how much this has Twilight parallels to me (and oh does it. More so in the second book I’m currently reading.) I’m hooked. I want to know is the girl going to get the guy. Is everything going to be okay? What’s going to happen in the end? And that is why I like series to be finished when I read them!!
