I'm so torn on this one. 

On one hand, I really enjoyed it. The characters were pretty decent and the romance was cute. Dante was really the saving grace for this book, I can't lie, even though I didn't love him, I did have a little crush, and he made me smile. Alessa was a tiny bit (mmm kind of a lot) pathetic and whiny, which was frustrating at times as she's supposed to be chosen by a god to save the literal world, BUT I still liked her character throughout the story. I love the whole touch me you die story, and it was a new take on a story that's been done before, so that was refreshing. 

On the other hand, the story itself was pretty cliche and very typical YA. A chosen one trope with a forbidden romance. Not a whole lot happened in this book plot wise. There was a lot of training, but mostly this book focused on the relationships with Alessa and her friends, and Dante. It was a pretty bland and vanilla book in that aspect. 

I'll meet in the middle on this one. Even though it's not a typical “high” rating, I absolutely recommend this book.
