Eleanor Russo has lived her life separate from society. She is different from the rest of the world. Ellie's shadow walks outside her body. She cannot control the wild and wicked things her shadow likes to do. Until now Ellie has been satisfied with living her quiet life with her grandmother in the middle of nowhere but since her grandmother's passing things have changed. Ellie knows she needs help and there is only one place she can think to find it.Dr. Cameron Kalamos is dedicated to his work. He searches out the supernatural and studies the boundaries between worlds. He loves his work at The Segue Institute but things get dicey when Ellie and her shadow stroll through the gates. Cam must make choices that affect his future. What is more important? The science he loves or the woman that stokes his fire.Erin Kellison's Shadow Touch is the beginning of a new novella series set in a dark and mysterious world. This is my foray into Ms. Kellison's world of Shadow and I can't get enough of it. Ms. Kellison has filled Shadow Touch with cool, unique characters and a wondrous plot that keeps the reader enthralled throughout! I can't get enough of these characters and I am dying to learn more about them and the history of The Segue Institute. I can honestly say I have never read anything with a character like Ellie. I find her curious and compelling.Reading the premise, I'm thinking a shadow outside the characters body this sounds crazy but I swear it is probably one of the coolest premises' ever. The internal struggle Ellie is going through is intense and positively fascinating. I don't want to forget Cam the unlikely hero. A friend and I were talking about this story and I said it's like he goes from geekly to stud in the span of seventy-four pages. His transformation is gripping and sexy. Cam is an endearing character and much stronger than he first appears.When together Cam and Ellie could be a force to be reckoned with but will they get the chance to explore their relationship? I really hope so because the attraction is fierce. Shadow Touch ends abruptly and left me dying for more of this story! I can't wait to get my hands on Shadow Play the next installment of this novella series! I need to know what happens to Ellie and her shadow as well as between Ellie and Cam. Erin Kellison wields her magical pen with outstanding precision as she propels her readers into the incredible world of Shadow Touch!Reviewed by MirandaFor Joyfully Reviewed
