Toxic - Jus Accardo I'm not exactly sure why these characters changed for me. In the first book, [b:Touch|11882171|Touch (Denazen, #1)|Jus Accardo|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317009934s/11882171.jpg|16840536], I found Dez exciting and her kick-assery was splendid. And Kale was endearing and innocent. In this one, I found them both rather tiresome ... Dez's impulsiveness was ridiculously irritating versus exhilarating and Kale's naivety felt clueless versus innocent. Was I just in a different place (less judgmental) when I read the first? Was I expecting too much from this one since I've been reading some really good books lately? I don't know. I still like Alex. He was just as good in this book as in the first and I really like the conflict and confusion his character brings to the story. The scary twins - Able and Aubrey - were kind of awesome. I really loved their dialogue. The whole super powers thing in general is still pretty cool.

One thing I can't abide by that I know definitely soured my experience is typos. This is a professionally written, edited and published book, is it not? How annoying. And, due to my slightly obsessive nature (or not so slight, depending on who you talk to), once I saw them I couldn't get it out of my mind. *sigh*

Overall, still a generally entertaining read and I will soldier on to the next one, [b:Tremble|15811134|Tremble (Denazen, #3)|Jus Accardo|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1365751236s/15811134.jpg|21536309]. I sure hope there aren't any typos ...
