Author: Airicka Phoenix
Published on: July 31, 2012
Publisher: Anchor Group



Synopsis:

For sixteen-year-old FALLON BRAEDEN being on the run had been the easiest part of her life. Packing up and crossing whole cities on a split second decision had been tedious, having no friends and being alone had been painful, but being caught by the truth was something she learned too late was worse.

Fallon is a weapon. She was created to destroy. Keeping her alive, keeping her safe is all Isaiah knows. It’s all that matters, because Fallon is his. She belongs to him. She is a part of his body, his soul, his heart. He will do anything, kill anyone to keep her, even if it means sacrificing himself.

But can Fallon believe the stranger on the motorcycle claiming he was there to die for her? How do you trust when you have no one but the memories of a girl you’ve never met and a tall, dark, gorgeous boy that you feel pulsing deep in your soul? What do you do when you’ve been lied to your whole life? When you’re told you’re normal even though nothing about you is normal? Fallon must learn quickly just what she is before the evil chasing her finally gets what it wants… her blood.

The world depends on her not falling in love, not giving in. But what happens when the temptation becomes too great, when falling is her only option? Can she live knowing the world will burn because his touch is the only thing keeping her alive?

Touch Passion. Touch Power. Touch Smoke!



I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.

Firstly I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.

Well, I loved the concept very much but I wouldn't say that it was unique but I liked the way the author executed the concept with several twists and turns that gave this story a new make-over.

The characters were a little underdeveloped according to me. I felt that Fallon lacked maturity but having such a harsh life and moving around 24*7 should have made her a little mature and experienced which was lacking in her dialogues. On the other hand I just loved Isaiah, he is hot and sexy and I loved his dialogues very much.

Despite my unlikeliness of Fallon, I loved her and Isaiah's chemistry very much. The passionate romance was swoon worthy. The unexpected turns really surprised me and kept me hooked in. The power-packed action scenes were a plus point too.

Over all a great read that I would recommend others as well and the best part is that the supernatural element is definitely unique in this story with not-so-used supernatural species and their unbelievable powers. The writing style of the author is very comfortable and easy to grasp and the detailed plot descriptions made me believe in this strange world.
