Welcome to today's stop on the TOUCH Blog Tour, brought to you by Entangled Publishing.
I have read TOUCH, it was fabulous. You will be able to read my review here on Saturday.
Today, I am excited to have a guest post from Jus Accardo, the author of TOUCH.
Enjoy!
Ode to Paranormal
I love to read. Anything with a great hook, awesome characters, or a fun
plot will keep me entertained, but in the end, I'm a sucker for the
paranormal. I'm not alone. There are scores of people out there just like
me. Super fans of the witches and warlocks. Rooting for the demon with a
heart of gold or the rough around the edges anti hero. I. Just. Love.
Them. All. So much in fact, that simple words just won't do. Instead, I'll
try through cheesy poetry :)
From vampires to witches
And all in between
To scratch our paranormal itches
They continue to be seen
Sparkling monsters
And great threats from below
Have replaced pretty boy mobsters
With dark dudes like The Crow
Vampire brothers
In love with one girl
Fallen angles as lovers
They make our toes curl
Werewolves and beasties
That have souls and kind hearts
Zombies and harpies
They all play their parts
Supernatural scuffles
Between demonic crooks
So off we shuffle
Because we love paranormal books

And now, in case you haven't seen it, here is some information about TOUCH, by Jus Accardo.
When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.
Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll turn to dust if he touches her.
It's not until Dez's father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there's more to this boy, and her father's "law firm," than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation -- an organization devoted to collecting "special" kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons -- his entire life.
And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills.
The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.
A secret Kale will kill to protect.
