In Touch The Dark, Karen Chance crafts a complex and intriguing paranormal underworld populated by vampires, faeries, pixies, demons, were-creatures, witches and mages. For good measure, she stirs in some Greek mythology then gives us a headstrong and resourceful heroine with a destiny. Altogether, it makes for one heck of a read.
Touch The Dark is written in first-person in the voice of Cassandra Palmer, a young woman with a clairvoyant gift, or curse depending on your perspective. She sees ghosts in all shapes and sizes and can converse with them, and she has a gift for Seeing things from the past and future. She’s also in hiding, trying to stay off the radar with the vampire world as her former master has a price on her head. Unfortunately, fate has other things in mind for Cassie and before she knows it, she’s embroiled in a battle between powerful factions and herself the prize.
Romance takes a backseat to the action and mystery in the book, but there are some serious sparks between Cassie and a very powerful master vampire, downright erotic in fact, and I am hopeful this will be explored more in future volumes in the Cassandra Palmer Series. Their relationship has incredible sexual chemistry and potential for much more, including love.

This is a great start to this series. I understand that the first book in a series is generally getting all the characters introduced etc, but I actually had a hard time keeping everyone straight. Who was good, who was bad. I was good to go by the middle of the book. It’s a fast paced read and keeps you guessing. I too can’t wait to see more of Mircea and Cassie in the next book. They have some hot chemistry.

I loved this book. It was fast paced and so interesting that it grabbed me and sucked me in fast. I really like Cassandra Palmer’s character. She is smart, quirky, and independant. A very modern day woman with extraordinary abilities. She can take care of herself. I fell in love with her ghost friend Billy who I hope to see in all future books. First class storyline! Keep ‘em coming Ms. Chance!
