"Until he met Dez, Kale’s days were filled with violence and death. He was used as a weapon of destruction by the power hungry men of Denazen. He’s a Six. A person with an abnormal ability. Some people call them gifts, but not Kale. Kale’s touch means instant death.
But now there’s Dez, the girl he can touch, and they’re hunting down Sixes and warning them about Denazen. Kale is learning about the world outside captivity and trying to put his dark past behind him. But they underestimated how badly Denazen wanted him back.
When Dez sacrifices herself to save the new Six they’d rescued from falling into the corp’s hands, Kale is lost. Denazen has brought out its best to get the job done. Samsen, a nightmare from Kale’s past—the only person he’s ever truly feared—has come for them, and it soon becomes obvious he has his own twisted agenda.
Kale will need all his training to get Dez back and ensure they make it out, free—and alive. But will it be enough?"

I have to start by saying I read this without having read Touch. Stupid, I know. But in doing so, it really captured my attention and now I am desperate to read the first novel!
In this novella, we read from Kale's point of view. We find out about his past inside Denazen and just what went on. But now, he and Dez are on the lookout for a six named Kiernan, with the ability to blend into her surroundings. But of course, things don't go to plan! Samsen, a Denizen agent with mind powers shows up to rock the boat.
It was interesting to see Kale so baffled by mundane human things! But of course, if I had grown up locked up from the outside world, I would definitely be the same!
If you haven't read Touch, I suggest you do before reading this novella! If you have, then I definitely recommend reading this short but action-packed novella to get you through to the release of Toxic!
Now, I'm off to read Touch ;)

Is it just me, or does the idea behind this sound a bit like Shatter Me by Taherah Mafi? I think that's about a girl who can't touch people because it kills them or hurts them or something... But I've never actually read it (yet) so I'm not really sure...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good too, though!
