Swami Review #1: A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford

This book gave Swami something she has been missing in other YA books. A Touch Mortal revived her deadened heart and released a curiosity she hasn't had in a long time. Swami wanted to finish this book because every page brought a new question. And she wanted more and there is more! The third and final book in the series comes out March 5th.

In this well plotted book, Eden becomes what is known as a Sider, a pathless undead that isn't allowed into heaven. She has a love/hate relationship with a partially fallen angel named Az. He hasn't completely fallen, just been kicked out of heaven for loving a mortal a long time ago. You'd think Eden and Az could live happily ever after, but there is no happiness when the Fallen want you as a part of their crew of ruthless evil beings. A constant battle exists between the Bound (Goodie two shoes Angels that tattle what's going on in the world and heaven), the Siders (Living dead that spread energies called Touch) and the Fallen Angels (Evil bastards). Oh and the living are simply pawns to be given Touch and then watched as they go crazy.

Out of ten turbans, Swami gives this one a nine! She loved it! But the Swami only gives reviews on teen books she loves. The rest of us "keytoldlers" just never make the cut. Ask the Swami if your YA published novel is right for her through her representative: kollarmichelle at yahoo dot com.
