Synopsis (Goodreads):
Fierce immortal warrior. Host to the demon of Disease. Torin’s every touch causes sickness and death—and a worldwide plague. Carnal pleasure is utterly forbidden, and though he has always overcome temptation with an iron will, his control is about to shatter.Thoughts on The Darkest Touch: Our boy Torin does NOT have it easy. With anything. Seeing as how his mere touch can cause plagues and he's resigned himself to a lonely, contact-less existence AND he's wracked with guilt over the deaths he's caused the few times he's caved, the dude's a mess.
She is Keeley Cael. The Red Queen. When the powerful beauty with shocking vulnerabilities escapes from a centuries-long imprisonment, the desire that simmers between her and Torin is scorching. His touch could mean the end for her, but resisting her is the hardest battle he’s ever fought—and the only battle he fears he can’t win.
Accidentally killing a woman (and by that I mean Torin was led to believe something that turned out to be untrue, so Mari's death really was an accident) who means a lot to the slightly off-kilter Keeley turns his guilt dial to high AND makes Keeley determined to get justice for her dead friend. By that, I mean she's gone all powerful and vengeful and she has Torin in her sights.
Which doesn't sound like the recipe for success when it comes to a relationship, but these two make it work. Possibly because powerful vengeance is kind of like foreplay to these two.
So Keeley's a little powerful and a lot unstable (she's actually a lot of both, I was just trying to be nice) and Torin kind of likes her off-kilter style. He also can't resist when she puts the moves on him and decides that quality naked time is worth the risk of plague and potential death. MAN, Keeley's fun.
Anywho. A few more demon-possessed immortals, a small foray into Hades' (under)world and his issues, a little death, a little destruction, and a couple who can't seem to keep their hands off one another even with the potential consequences. Good stuff all around.
