Synopsis:

When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll turn to dust if he touches her.
It's not until Dez's father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there's more to this boy—and her father's "law firm"—than she realized.Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting "special" kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life.
And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe. A secret Kale will kill to protect.

I was mostly disappointed with this book. I have read other books by Jus Accardo and I loved them. I know that this book was written before those because it was her first but it seemed like a completely different author. This book needed more work because the idea behind it was a good one but it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. 
I had a hard time connecting to the main characters because I didn't feel like they were very likeable or relatable. Deznee is an immature teen who does everything in her power to anger and annoy her father. She doesn't really change much over the course of the book. She seems to only have her goals in mind no matter the cost to those around her. Kale was a bit of a blank slate who seemed to be in the book so that there was more man candy. I wanted to like him but he was so naive and ignorant that I found him annoying. It seemed as if he didn't know anything at all no matter how simple the concept.  
The majority of the book didn't seem very believable to me. People just automatically believe the things that they are told and girls go off with guys that threaten to kill them. There were a few tense chase scenes that were fair and an fight scene towards the end of the book that was well done. I really enjoyed the last 20% of the book so I may read the next one if that portion of the book is any indication of what the sequel will be like.
If you want to see this author at her best then you should read The Eternal Balance trilogy. It is awesome!
