Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Touched is an action, adventure, and forbidden romance all rolled into one story. Oh yeah, don’t forget the supernatural element. The author brings the reader into a world that’s complicated and mysterious. There’s the human world of New Orleans but the fantasy world of Laric. Introducing the reader to a slew of characters and different supernatural species to boot.
Aeris has a sense for adventure and exploring. She’s a fae who is constantly crossing the wards into the human world. An aspect about herself she does plan to change until she “zings” with her kindred. What she never expected was she would find her kindred in the human world. Now she will do anything and everything to make sure he’s safe, including leaving her family. Will it be enough?
Callum was going about his day as he normally would, till this beautiful woman ran into him he just can’t seem to let go. However he doesn’t realize talking to her makes him a crazy person to everyone outside of his conversation. Why? Because he’s the only one who can see her. And seeing her is exactly what happens. A deep connection he can’t explain. That is until he gets some sort of explanation. He finds out she’s a fae, finds out he’s not completely human but a Sylph, finds out there are Rougarou aka werewolves in the human world and they are out to drink his blood and kill him. Besides trying to run his everyday life as a detective that may very well be left to take the fall on a potentially botched operation. Not that his superiors know what really happened.
Will they escape the Rougarou?
Can he trust anyone he works with to tell them the truth about the Trahans?
Will the elders ever accept a Fae/Sylph bonding?
So many questions. So much going on. It can be confusing at first but if you can break down the different themes it gets interesting. It says book 1 so I look forward to future stories in this world.
