3 starsWhen I saw the early summary for this book, the first thing that came to mind was that the girl had the same ability as the protagonist in [b:Touch of Power|10445208|Touch of Power (Healer, #1)|Maria V. Snyder|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317629193s/10445208.jpg|15349923], a book I had just finished recently back then. Plus the titles are rather similar too. But then I came across this interview and thought it why not? It sounds interesting. Then the early reviews came in and mentioned the similarities to Twilight but I still read this because I was curious. For the early part of the book it was really good and I liked Remy a lot. Just as I was really getting into the story BAM the similarities started popping up. It was just there. The circumstances may be different but there were so many parallels as the story proceeded. Maybe they were there from the very beginning but it took longer to kick in because my memories of Twilight were foggy? I dunno. What I do know is that [b:Touched|10822395|Touched (Sense Thieves, #1)|Corrine Jackson|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1338915545s/10822395.jpg|15736140] can be quite a good read if you can overlook the similarities. Remy is a likable character. She's smart, sensible (not rushing headfirst into danger like a whole lot of other YA heroines who think they are so tough) and is not overdependent like Bella. I also liked how the initial relationship between Remy and Asher developed and would have given this book a higher rating it continued to develop at a more natural pace instead of suddenly becoming an epic love melodrama. The you're-my-one-true-love and I'll-die-for-you kind. Not really my thing.------------------------------Wait, is this a German book or English??
