A few years ago I read Kay Hooper's Blood trilogy, and I really enjoyed those books. However, I never went back to her until Touching Evil (Book 1, Evil Trilogy). And I really enjoyed it. Kay Hooper has a way of making her characters really really likable, and you just root for them the entire time.
I love the supernatural aspect of this story, and I like that the book added in ghosts and supernatural abilities, but that our main characters were human. I'm happy with that, and I hate that I don't read enough stories that go more towards this direction of the supernatural vs. mythological creatures or demon/angel type stories.
Very happy with this book, and I cannot wait to begin the second book of the trilogy, Whisper of Evil.

This book was awesome! I rooted for little Auggie the ENTIRE time, and I kept hoping that he wouldn't have to deal with the coldness that sometimes hits us all in this world. But, when Auggie does have to go through with LIFE, he does it with amazing strength. He's still 10, so of course, we see a bit of immaturity, but in general, the kid has more grace, understanding, and strength than any other character in the book.
I fell in love with the story in the very beginning. I cried, laughed, got annoyed, and laughed some more.
The characters are well written and I thought seeing Auggie in all of the different points of views was awesome.
I do have to say one thing, though: I hated Justin's POV. I have a really hard time reading when there is no capitalization in a sentence. The words honestly blur together for me, so I ended up grazing over his POV a bit, which was a bummer, because he did something really awesome in his section. But I got the gist that he was a good guy, and that's fine with me.
I really recommend reading this book! It was excellent.
