From The Book:
He tried to take my life. Instead, I took his. It was a long time ago. I remember it was dark, and I didn't see my killer until it was too late. As I died, my hand touched his. That's when the first switch took place. Suddenly, I was looking through the eyes of my killer, and I was watching myself die. Some people touch lives. Others take them. I do both.
My Thoughts:
I was defiantly a fan of Claire North's first book, The Fifteen Lives of Harry August so I didn't hesitate to pick up Touch, her second book. This novel is build on the premise that there are body-hopping ghosts that can inhabit any body...or "skins" as they refer to them..with a simple "touch". One of the problems is that the main "ghost" character in the story changed "skins" so many times that it became difficult to keep up with who he was at any given time. Also when another "ghost" was added...who just happened to be a psychopath...the changing became chaotic. I can't say I entirely disliked the book...it did have some interesting parts... but it's not one that i would consider for a recommendation. Hope her next offering meets the standards of her first and this is just a fluke.
