Touched by Fire is your typical magical bounty hunter who has a secret past type story. Piper has been hunting for her boss for years, mainly to try to find some information to help her comatose sister out of the state she has been locked in for the past decade. When she is tasked with killing an entire coven, she fumbles and instead lets a demon into our world. Now, her boss is after her with a huge bounty on her head and she has to figure out how to keep her nature hidden.
This book was a little too boring for my taste. We're not getting the interactions that I feel justify the emotion behind the relationships that are forming. Piper has spent a decade trusting no one but now she has a bestie, a potential demon boyfriend, and a rival love interest in the span of a week? I hate when authors use filler numbers like ten years of hiding when you can tell the protagonist shouldn't have been able to hide for a week because her skills in application are weak.
So definitely not my favorite, but it wasn't so bad that it deserved a DNF. I don't think I'm very interested in continuing in the series, but it could get better if we saw Piper doing more of what the narrator describes her as being able to do.
