Occasionally I read a
book that sinks its teeth into me, rather than the other way around. This week,
I read two such books back-to-back: Touchback and Cold Kiss. I actually
couldn’t start another book right away, and had to pause for a while after each
of these to let the ending and the overall emotional echo really sink in.
When Danny dies in a
car crash, Wren is heartbroken. Until she finds a way to bring him back. Unfortunately,
things don’t go as planned and she learns too late that bringing back the dead
doesn’t bring back everything. Now she has to figure out what to do with a
creature who looks like her beloved but isn’t really him, all the while hiding
the truth, keeping up with her homework and avoiding a new student who has
figured out what she is.
Cold Kiss by Amy
Garvey is unlike any other YA paranormal book I’ve ever read. Intensely
written, emotionally deep – not how I would describe the average YA book out
there. The characters were real and unique, with clear voices and intriguing
backgrounds. I highly recommend this one.
