Have you chased down all your demons? Marnie hasn't, and now they're coming for her.
The media has nicknames for Marnie Baranuik, though she’d rather they didn’t; twice-Touched by the Blue Sense, a rare dual-talented psychic with a doctorate in preternatural biology and a working knowledge of the dark arts, she was considered without peer in the psychic community.
Her first big FBI case ended with a bullet in one shoulder and a chip on the other, a queasy heart and a serial killer in the wind, leaving her a public flop and a private wreck. When the FBI’s preternatural crimes unit tracks her down at her remote mountain lodge in Ten Springs, Colorado for her insight on a local case, she isn’t particularly eager to stick her neck out again, but her quiet retirement is promptly besieged by a stab-happy starlet, a rampaging ghoul, and a vampire hunting jackass in tight Wranglers. Marnie figures the only real mystery is which one will kill her first.
Too mean to die young, backed up by friends in cold places, and running with a mouth as demure as a cannon’s blast, Marnie Baranuik is about to discover that there’s no such thing as quitting time when you’re Touched.
Professional Reviews
"This Book Has it All!" by Melissa
I was absolutely hooked from the first page! The main character is a smart ass with a bad habit of getting herself into some serious action- and the writing is so intense I found myself on the edge of my seat, not able to put the book down. This book definitely is a thriller mixed with erotic and humor. It's hard not to love Marnie and her seriously screwed up life. I most certainly recommend this book and am looking forward to many more great reads from Aj Aalto!
"Winner!" by CathyB
I am a huge fan of vampire novels. That being said, Touched is a fabulous spin on the vampire/witch genre. Daysitters, Revenants, and ghouls, oh my! The book had my full attention at the first paragraph. The action never stops, the characters are totally entertaining and hot. Marnie Baranuik has the most inventive cuss words ever! I stayed up waaaay to late last night with this book. I simply could not put it down. I have just found my next favorite series of vampire books. Book 2 here I come
"Absolutely Wonderful" by Tish
I LOVED this book. It's a new take on the vampire story, and it's a GREAT one. I love the snarky lead female character. I adored the Cold Companion whom she cares for, and I love the fact that I could not guess all the many plot line endings in advance. I, like so many other reviewers on here, am begging and pleading for the next book in the series. I know you may need at least a year to write a next good book, but crank up the coffee and try hard. Please? Just for us? I have never paid much for ANY ebook, but if you write another in this series, I will gladly head over to paypal with a grin on my face.
