Grave Touched

Fey Touched #2

by Erin Zarro

Fey Touched – humans, genetically engineered for immortality and flight, tasked with protecting the rest of the world from rogue Fey...

Grave Touched – dead souls in search of living bodies to possess, especially those who’ve had a brush with death...

When Fey Touched Hunter Emily wakes up in a hospital, she doesn’t know that she was in fact dead. Nor does she know that her lover, Nick, broke all kinds of rules to bring her back. But the grave touched do.

Fey Touched Healer Asha does know that her mate, Joe, saved her when her abilities nearly killed her. And she knows the voices in her head are the grave touched trying to stake their claim. Asha needs Joe’s help again, but unfortunately she’s the only one who believes the grave touched exist.

The grave touched are plotting to take over the corporeal world, and they’re gaining strength. Only Emily and Asha stand in their way – and both are about to be possessed.

Please note that this book contains explicit sex, explicit language, and violence and is not suitable for those under 18.

About the author

Erin Zarro is a speculative fiction author and poet who adores a good enemies to lovers romance, a horror novel that will scare you out of sleeping for a week, and sci-fi that stretches the boundaries of science and technology. And animal familiars. Almost all her books feature an animal familiar somewhere. If she’s not chasing her muse in the dead of the night (and failing to keep up), she’s either reading, studying Esperanto, gaming, drinking tons of Mountain Dew while editing other authors’ books, or reading Tarot cards.

If you enjoy traipsing through hi-tech fantasy worlds and dark dystopic colonies, creepy psychological mind-bending horror, cool stuff done with science, and a dash of contemporary romance, see you where madness becomes magic.

I enjoyed Grave Touched enough I will have to read book 1! This book took me for a ride. I enjoyed the horror and the excitement and everything in between. A wicked queen has plans for Emily and the world once they've infested enough humans to satisfy her agenda. This book reminded me a little of the movie "Blade" and I enjoyed all of these movies. You see if you like it too! * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Review of Grave Touched by Erin Zarro


I have to admit this is not my comfort zone when choosing a book to read. Grave Touched has a strong plot idea and is the second in Fey Touched series. It concerns a group of hunters who are dedicated to killing rogue fey to keep humans safe. The book opens with one of the main characters recovering in hospital. It gradually becomes clear that she has been brought back to life. The main action is the conflict between the hunters and the Grave touched, beings who are dead but have not passed over and if not stopped will take over our world. In order to do this they must enslave the minds of others to do their bidding. The battle is fought in a blizzard and the author’s description of the intense cold made me feel the need of a thick sweater. An apocalyptic battle for this world against a foe of true evil which would strip away all humanity. This is a book for those who love twilight and similar series and should be a worthy competitor for this market

Erin Zarro has written a book that I both enjoyed, and got mad at more often than not. Like a horror movie, I kept shouting at the characters for their blindness to obvious events, their credulity, and in one case, for not tying up a person that was clearly possessed, having witnessed it happen a few other times already. The characters suffer from the fun kind of stupid. If this had been a paperback copy it would have sailed across the room a few times.

But I'm glad that I took the time to read it. It's an interesting take on modern fantasy, and a world I'd like to read more into.
