Touched by Corrine Jackson
The book is about Remy O’Malley, a 17-year-old-girl, who has
the ability to heal people with a touch. Fearing what the world might do to
her, she keeps her talent a secret. Remy lives with her mom and alcoholic
step-father. After being abused by him once more, Remy moves to Blackwell Falls
to live with her biological dad and his family. No one knows about her powers,
except Asher Blackwell, a guy from her school, who seems to know more than Remy
does about this supernatural thing. Asher has his talents too, he is a
Protector, an ancient enemy of the Healers. But that doesn’t stop them from
falling in love with each other. They are determined to protect one another
with their own lives.
Touched is full of various emotions and colors, such as
sadness, happiness, love and loyalty. I liked it very much because it
represents two people falling in love with each other, despite the fact that
they are enemies by their nature. It represents the trust and loyalty in their
relationship, considering that their powers can kill each other. I loved the
main character, Remy, because she is strong and courageous. Remy was weak and
scared with her step-father, but since she met Asher, she became confident and
aware of her powers. I would recommend the book to those who like fantasy and
romance.
