A Touch Menacing

The darkest of the trilogy (dun dun DUUUUNN!!!).

Just finished a touch menacing in record time!!! Holy cow.. So much info..and left at a sort of cliff hanger of sorts argggggh!! I don't want to give anything away but every moment of this book has some revealing quality!! It's nuts! I can't say one thing without giving away part of the book which is why it was such a good book! You are constantly tryin to put the puzzle pieces together and when you think you have it... TWIST!<br /><br />The only big difference in this novel vs. the proceeding two is that this one not only has you reading from Eden's perspective but Gabe,Luke, Kristen, Jarrod, and perhaps 1-2 ppl forgetting. So you'll be on the precipice of getting an answer at the end of the chapter then next chap. Is a perspective switch so you have to wait and let it play out, guess, he'll skip ahead (I did at one point just for answers) til you figure it out. Haha<br /><br />Either way this book rocked! There are a couple points that I didn't like but those I'll let you determine on your own. Same amazing writing your use to.. Amp up the action and secrets/secrets revealed and a jaw dropping ending you have : A Touch Menacing!!!! Let me know how you liked it!!

A great ending to a great series! I'm super happy I picked this up and flyed through it.

Oh.... Just oh.... Finished ATM3 a day-and-a-half ago and I'm still trying to process that ending. I know I have to re-read it just to be sure what I read actually happened and wasn't a figment of my imagination. But if what I read is true....<br /><br />Still trying to process how to write that review without saying anything about that ending. Because that ending is just so all-encompassing.<br /><br />This book was a super-fast read. Definitely action-packed. Definitely shocking. Major shocks and surprises involved. And that ending. And of course there was that one line in the epilogue.....<br /><br />Review to come... perhaps after a re-read. But definitely after I've processed that ending.

Oh my heart, oh my heart burns too bright and hurts too bad. This series has been one extremely emotional rollercoaster ride, leaving me broken into infinite little pieces. And <i>A Touch Menacing</i>? It has been the most painfully beautiful of all. The ending alone was so mindblowingly awesome that I am too shaken to write coherent words after finishing it a few minutes ago. And, no people, I don't hate the ending at all. I just hated that it ended *serious sobbin' in background*<br><br>Eden has emerged as an independent, kick-ass, witty and one-of-a-kind heroine. She has come a really long way in this series and has become so much stronger in the end than she was in the first book. And I mean it. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

But in <i>A Touch Menacing</i>, the epilogue f**king says it all!</label> Major respect, Eden. Major love, too.<br><br>And, Az. Oh, Az. Why do have to be so f**king lovable. That man has tortured written all over him, and the way he yearns for Eden? That Azazel is going to be the death of me (pun not intended... seriously, people). <br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380422276i/839904.jpg" height="270" width="300/" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>*Me whenever Az does something, anything*<br><br>And, it doesn't end there,<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380422276i/839905.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>"Come to me, baby, I don't bite... much" ;)<br><br>Gabriel was no less amazing. His love story was so heartwrenchingly hopeless that by the point the book was ending, I could feel myself slowly shriveling up from inside and dying. I cannot get myself to write more of my pain for him without giving away any major spoiler, so I'll just suffer in silence for this one. <br><br>Luke. Kristen. Luksten. Kriske. Have babies already. Seriously. <br>They both have broken the limits to how much one can ship a couple, and I ship them bad. Really bad. I mean, it has to be impossible to write about them the way Leah does and still come to love them so hard.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380422276i/839906.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Jarrod.

It's MAJORLY SPOILERY): <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

Please nothing happen to Zach!! NOOOOOOO!!<br>Madeline! MADELINE!! I only realized my love for you right after you were gone! Come back!! <br>Ok, I can survive this, I can survive this pain, I can do this.... Wait, Az, no, you'll be alright! You have to be alright! AZ?! AZ!! AZAZEL!!! N-NO! NOT YOU!! WHY YOU?!?! WHY, LEAH?!?! *At this point I am pretty sure I am dead and my soul is the sobbing mess rolling over the floor and grieving him* <br></label><br><br>Ahem, now back to this book, which is my new-found-love. You know, I had my fears when diving into this book. I was worried that the ending would be disappointing and my rabidness for this book - and the trilogy overall - would be for nothing. But boy, was I wrong. I just can't simply stress it enough how much I freakin' loved the ending. I love it so much that I want to effin' marry it and spent the rest of our days living, eating, sleeping, gawking shirtless hotties, swooning over fictional guys and devouring books (cannibalism alert!) together.<br><br>The book's atmosphere was so enticingly dark and gritty, that it kept me glued to my ebook reader for hours on end, robbing me of my sleep, my patience and my sound mind (ok, not so sound, jeez). <i>A Touch Menacing</i> is wickedly breathtaking, brain-exploding, mind-numbing, action-packed, fast-paced, intensely intriguing, wildly imaginative, crazily original, cheekily audacious and rude, extremely shocking and intricately vivid and detailed. <br><br><i>A Touch Trilogy</i> is a class apart. It's originality and craziness was what had drawn me to this series in the first place. And they are still one of the numerous reasons why I deeply love this series. It's gonna one heck of an intense and painful farewell. <br><br>I can rest assure you that this series is gonna haunt me for a long time. Real long since I plan to re-read the trilogy and go through all the crushing blows all over again. I am saying it, I'm a sucker for masochistic books - books that shatter me and leave me an agonized puddle. And this book is part of the elite masochists that slowly torment me, kill me, revive me and put me out of my misery again... multiple times. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

Yeah, but then, everything Eden went through did make her stronger, feel like she belonged, find people to care for and give her a reason to live life to the fullest. In my opinion, that's what Eden's journey was all about.</label><br><br>To Leah Clifford: You are a genius. And if there ever exists a chance for me to peek into someone's mind, it would be you, Leah. Last thing, GIVE. US. MORE. STORIES. WOMAN.<br><br>Final Verdict: <i>A Touch Menacing</i> f**king killed me. And I don't regret it at all. I'm just Bound to it forever. Get it, huh? Huh?

Leah Clifford!! Why did you do this to me?!!! This book was amazing. There is death and it is a lot darker. First of all there is more than one point of view, Gabe, Eden, Az, Kristen, Jarrod, and Madeline. A lot of people die, Madeline, Jackson. Who is kinda important but not that much. Az is Upstairs and is being held captive, while Gabe promised the Bound that he will kill Eden. Good thing he doesn't because he is protecting her from dying. The death that hurt the most was Az. I loved Az and he died, I am happy that Leah didn't have the standard happily ever after where everyone is OK. That's why I love her and her writing. Because in the real world, everything isn't sappy love and rainbows. The real world is love, sadness, death, betrayal, loyalty, and trusting your enemies sometimes. I just can't with this book. I will read it again so I can have some love with Az and Eden. Gabe is alright. Thank God. Because I love that man, boy? I didn't know he was gay until Leah told me. And it was with Michael. The other Bound angel. I like Luke he is deliciously evil and has his games that he plays. I know that Kristen loves him, but Luke doesn't because he's Lucifer. So everyone is becoming mortal again so they can stop fighting with the bound and have there life again. I just don't have anything else left in me. I swear this book broke me, especially the end when Eden is with Gabe and is becoming mortal again and living her life like Az would want *sobs* He really was amazing. I was so hoping he would magically come back to life but no. I just loved it and please go out and read A Touch Mortal first. I would appreciate it if you would and so would Leah Clifford. The amazing writer who made this.

Gah that ending!!! :(<br />Overall this book was actually really depressing &amp; to be honest I could not remember what happened in the last book, but I liked it nonetheless.

Great book, I really enjoyed it, and how it ended, and yeah, I think it was a great ending.

WTF ok I like exactly 1 part of the ending and I know if I want the book to go my way I should write it myself but with out spoiling it I just can't believe that ish!!!
