“Touched” by Elisa S. Amore

I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sadly, I have to put this book in my DNF column of reads.  I can’t quite put my finger on what I didn’t like about the book, but after 15%, i still couldn’t engage with the characters or the story.

The good: I love the cover.  It is beautiful and captivating. The editing was good, no major issues found; and nothing that took away from the story.

The bad: The story was slowwwww.  The characters were not very likable and I had a hard time relating to them at all.  I had no cares to give about whether the main character even met the hero.

The ugly: Not a dern thing.

Final thoughts:  This book is YA.  I think it might be young, young adult.  I like a bit more spice and vinegar in my characters and a quick moving story.  While this book was not for me, I would recommend it to readers that like to slowly fall for their stories.

About Melissa

I am an avid book reader and have instilled that love of books in my two sons. My sisters and I have shared books for years and our love for reading. I started reading quite young and have been immersed in literature ever since. My favorite genres are New Adult, Young Adult, Mystery and comedy. My favorite book is a tie between "Easy" by Tammara Webber and "Maybe Someday" by Colleen Hoover. I love the works by Tiffany King, Tammara Webber, Erica Stevens, Lisa Renee Jones, Chelsea M. Cameron, and many more. I am very much a book snob though. If a book doesn't draw me in within the first few chapters, I am done with it.
