Touched: Elemental Passions Book One by Skye Turner, Sloane Nicole, April D. Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Touched is the first book in the Elemental Passions series. The long list of authors caught my eye – initially I thought it would be a collection of short stories and when I realised it was a single story written by so many people I was intrigued to see how it turned out. I was impressed – the story felt consistent and considered throughout.

The story switches between the perspectives of its two protagonists – Callum and Aeris. Aeris is a Fae who enjoys visiting and observing humans. Callum is a New Orleans police detective who is suddenly thrust into the world of Fae and other magical beings when he sees Aeris through the glamour that’s supposed to keep her hidden.

This is an exciting fantasy book, with a great cast of characters! My favourite is Trevor the troll, who proves a helpful and knowledgeable ally. I’m looking forward to seeing more of these characters in the next book!

Touched gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance looking for a new obsession. I can’t wait to read more from these authors!
