Blurb:

When a strange boy tumbles down a river enbankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.

Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and Vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy-and her father’s “law firm”-than she realized.

Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation-an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sizes and using them as weapons-his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hell bent on taking down Denazen before they’re caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.

A secret Kale will kill to protect.

My Thoughts:

Ms. Accardo does an incredible job putting a well written interesting novel together. I was instantly drawn into her novel and I couldn’t get enough.

I really connected with the characters and loved the way they developed through out the story. Dez was wonderful. I loved how she isn’t the typical girl next door. She loves to skateboard and get into trouble. She believes her goal in life is to see how much she can piss her father off. Which is just like most teenagers. Kale is a hot and sweet boy but with a deadly twist. The secondary characters were very interesting as well and I hope we will get to learn more about them as the series goes on!

Touch is a fast paced novel with thrilling and unexpected twists. It will keep you interested and you will continually be turning the pages to know what happens next.

The Real Book of Real Estate is the one book, the Bible, of real estate advice and techniques every investor needs to navigate through the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of the real estate market and come out on top.
The only thing better than one real estate expert helping you invest and win is twenty real estate experts with that same mission. For the first time ever, Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has assembled in one big book a star studded cast of real estate wizards and trusted advisors with one purpose in mind: to share their knowledge to help you win in real estate.
This is the ultimate real estate desk reference you’ll come back to again and again. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or buying your first property, you will enhance your knowledge and grow your wisdom through this book. The book shows you how to value a property, handle leases, manage tenant relationships, get financing, even establish your own team of advisors, and so much more. You’ll hear from the insiders and learn from their wins and their losses. It’s decades’ worth of experience and knowledge you just can’t get anywhere else.

My Thoughts:

This book is full of information and gives the reader an understanding of the process of investing in Real Estate. This is part of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, and Mr. Kiyosaki doesn’t fail us. Kiyosaki brings together some of the brightest minds in their various fields. Each chapter is filled to the brim of information and is easily understandable. The most important point made throughout the entire book is how important it is to have a great team. I highly recommend this book.
