So I had this book back in my Kindle carousel for God knows how long now... In one of those nasty bookhangover, I looked at the title and began reading it without much hope that it would get me out of my deep funk. A few pages and I really wanted to stop reading it. I didn't want to read paranormal stuff right now, but I manage to keep going, and going, and going when I suddenly realized I was totally sucked into the story! I mean I read about half the book in one morning and only stopped because I had to get some actual paying work done !The story develops slow, but I like the way the characters finally relate to each other. I love the way the author played Gabriel : tough, sure of himself but yet soft and falling in love fast for Lexi. So I finished the story and felt happy about getting to know them....I think Lisa Olsen is becaming quickly one of my favorite authors. I read another one of her books, The pretty witches one first and really liked the way she tells you the story.... While predictable, this was a nice book to spend a lazy Sunday with. The premise is that Lexi, the protagonist, has a gift that in many ways is more of a curse. Her gift, such as it is, allows her to get visions of a person's life when she touches objects. Her sister, Alli's husband has gone missing and she solicits Lexi's help. Along the way, we find that the husband has been unfaithful and their creepy old house is in fact haunted. There's a bit of a romance which was fairly nicely done and Lexi is a likeable character. If you like mysteries with a bit of the paranormal, you just might like spending a couple of hours with this pleasant little novel.
What do You think about The Touch (2011)?
I made it until about the 70% mark. It was just too young adult/immature for my personal preference.

really enjoyed the story. The ending could have been better but, over all pretty good.
