Shadow Touch by Marjorie M. Liu digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“Readers of early Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris . . . will enjoy this paranormal romantic thriller” featuring a couple bonded by powerful gifts (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Elena Baxter can work miracles with her fingers. She can coax bones to knit, flesh to heal. She can mend the mind and spirit. That is why she is taken.

Artur Loginov joined Dirk & Steele, an international detective agency that specializes in the impossible, to help extraordinary souls in need—and to keep their secrets safe. For Artur himself is not like ordinary men—handsome, powerful, and tormented, he is able to do wondrous things with nothing but a thought and a touch. That is why he, too, is taken . . .

Drawn together into the darkness, Elena and Artur find themselves caged and cornered, joined in a desperate fight for their lives. But they will find strength where they never expected it: in a passionate look, in a tender kiss, in a heart-soaring, breathtaking . . . Shadow Touch

“Artur and Elena’s relationship is one of the smartest and most mature love affairs to grace the pages of romance.” —Booklist, starred review

“Anyone who loves my work should love hers too.” —New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan

“This one is hard to rate, stars-wise. I did finish it, so apparently something about it hooked me, but it was so very over the top! Lots of evil villains with no nuance and torture almost from the very beginning, before you have a chance to care about the characters. Artur was a good character - and I do love some SFF set in Russia with a Russian hero -- but I think the problem I had with this book was that the romance was not romancey enough to really be a "romance" and the magic elements were all too cliche to be good urban fantasy.”
