Waiting on Wednesday - A Touch Mortal

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine

A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford

Publisher: Greenwillow Books

Publication Date: February 22, 2011

Summary from author's website: Death isn't what Eden expected. Where the hell is her release? Her quiet ending? Not that Eden remembers the details of her final hours, but one thing is for sure--becoming a sider, trapped between life and death, was definitely not part of the plan...

For Eden, nothing seems to be coming easy. There's no way of telling what will happen when her fingertips graze human skin. The power that builds inside her, Touch, strips away morals and logic.

Some people only feel a high; others are overcome by their darkest thoughts.

But honestly there's not much time for her to worry about her effect on mere mortals. She's got her own drama. Somehow, word's gotten around that her Touch can kill her own kind. With desperate siders already camping out on her doorstep, the last thing Eden needs is the rumor to spread. Especially since it's true...

I thought the summary on Leah Clifford's website sounded fantastic and then I saw this summary on Goodreads:
 
Eden didn’t expect Az.
 
Not his saunter down the beach toward her. Not his unbelievable pick up line. Not the instant, undeniable connection. And not his wings.
 
Yeah.
 
So long happily-ever-after.
 
Now trapped between life and death, cursed to spread chaos with her every touch, Eden could be the key in the eternal struggle between heaven and hell. All because she gave her heart to one of the Fallen, an angel cast out of heaven.
 
She may lose everything she ever had. She may be betrayed by those she loves most. But Eden will not be a pawn in anyone else’s game. Her heart is her own.

And that’s only the beginning of the end.

Umm, yeah...it's definitely going on my 2011 Wishlist.
