Elisa S. Amore is the author of the paranormal romance saga Touched. She wrote the first book while working at her parents’ diner, dreaming up the story between one order and the next. She lives in Italy with her husband, her son, and a pug that sleeps all day. She’s wild about pizza and traveling, which is a source of constant inspiration for her. She dreamed up some of the novels’ love scenes while strolling along the canals in Venice and visiting the home of Romeo’s Juliet in romantic Verona. Her all-time favorite writer is Shakespeare, but she also loves Nicholas Sparks. She prefers to do her writing at night, when the rest of the world is asleep and she knows the stars above are keeping her company. She’s now a full-time writer of romance and young adult fiction. In her free time she likes to read, swim, walk in the woods, and daydream. She collects books and animated movies, all jealously guarded under lock and key. Her family has nicknamed her “the bookworm.” After its release, the first book of her saga quickly made its way up the charts, winning over thousands of readers. Touched: The Caress of Fate is her debut novel and the first in the four-book series originally published in Italy by one of the country’s leading publishing houses. The book trailer was shown in Italian movie theaters during the premiere of the film Twilight: Breaking Dawn—Part 2.

The writing was good, the plot was interesting, and the characters engaging. The book reminded me of the Twilight genre of teen romance. I’m sure most teens would enjoy this read and drool over the main characters.

However, The main reason I gave this 3 stars was because I was uncomfortable with obsession being labeled as love. A young man (or death angel in this case) who stalks you and hides in your home - even in your bathroom - to spy on you - is a stalker - not the basis for a healthy love interest. Also, there were several times in the book where both the male and female main characters threatened “They couldn’t live without the other” to the point of strongly considering suicide as an alternative.

As a teacher and mother of teens, I would definitely want to make sure that if my teen read this book that I engaged them in conversation about the romance and the reality that, while difficult, we can learn to live without the love of our life with the love and support of our friends and family.

I really struggled through this book. The premise is great, but it just repeats the same insecurities like 75% of the book and then left me with a bunch of questions. I know it's a series and I can probly find those questions but it's not for me.

Gemma and Evan are from two different worlds. But when they first met, it was like something was pulling them toward each other. Call it fate, but when Gemma gets closer to Evan, she finds out why Evan was there near her and why there was a pull between the two of them. While the pull is strong, something tries to rip them apart. Will their love for each other be enough to keep them together without fate stepping in? This is a must read for fantasy young adult readers.

Alot of repetitive info, and meaningless information to make the story longer than it needed to be. Once I got past chapter 7, I was hooked, then around chapter 31, I became bored again. Alright book, glad I'm done.

[Jenny Taylor · Rating 2 out of 5]

Repetitive. Cliched. Superficial character development. A plot that leaves more questions than answers. A last-minute villain with a convenient vendetta.

[Megan Cutter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I gave it three stars because the descriptions are so good. But it felt like the author used the phrases and descriptions over and over again.

[Melissa Samuels · Rating 2 out of 5]

Writing was juvenile. I quit reading after a few pages.

[Michelle Jenkins · Rating 2 out of 5]

I couldn’t get in to this book. It started out so confusing and Mabey it’ll get better but I’m 24% thru the book and it’s just not telling you anything but confusing you more.

[Susete Kunkel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it!! I actually hated to see this one end. Not usually the type of book I’d go for but it was great and loved the journey.
