When the Weird Girls popped up on the scene a few years back. I was hooked! Ms. Robson had created this wonderful family of sisters with unusual gifts that turned the paranormal world upside down with their abilities and sassy attitudes.
Touch of Evil is told in Emme and Bren’s POV’s. I thought we might be starting off where we left off at the end of Of Flame and Fury, but we go back in time to the events between Of Flame and Light and Of Flame and Fate. I will say this threw me at first, but I soon got back into the story.
The Wird sisters are a passionate bunch with bold personalities and a “tell it like it is” attitude that makes them pretty badass. The exception to this rule is Emme the youngest Wird sister. She’s shy, innocent, kind, compassionate and has a gift for healing. She’s all about making love, not war.
We finally get to see Emme prove to everyone that she maybe the quiet one, but she’s mighty and fierce. She’s been battling self-esteem issues her whole life and now she feels more like an outsider looking in with her crazy chaotic family. All of them have found their fated mates and are starting families and happily ever afters.
What we get to see is Emme come out of her shell and fighting something that wants to hurt her and her family. We get to see what caused the tension between Emme and Bren that we saw in Of Flame and Fury. I had a blast seeing Emme grow. As for Bren I want to know why? I’d tell you what went on, but then you'll miss out on an exciting adventure. I can’t wait to see where things go with these two.
Rated: 4 Stars

Touch of Evil takes place right after Of Flame and Light Book 1 of Weird Girls Flame, Book 6 of Weird Girls series.
I have been waiting for Emme's book for what feels like years. It was worth the wait, in all honesty, there were moments of awkwardness, and bumpy writing. But there were not many of those incidences, and to be honest they made the interaction feel more authentic. Especially when we get into the weird. With the weird, we get a fast-paced adventure, with humor and a little bit of romance.
Emme is the youngest of the sisters, seen as the meekest and weakest, and the only one without a mate. What she is the gentle, heart of the family who is just as fierce and strong-willed as the other three sisters and is not blind to how others see her.
Bren is a lone wolf who has found his way into a pack. He is funny and protective. Surprised at his leadership role in the pack. He has a powerful protective instinct when it comes to Emme and realizing she is his mate is a huge surprise. We get more of his back story, but I can’t wait to get more.

I have not read any other books from this series. The author did a pretty good job of trying to get the reader up to where we are now. Emme is shy and quiet but the book was not bad and I enjoyed the story. I may goo back and start from the beginning and read these in order. I, personally, just don't like to start a series in the middle every often. The characters made me giggle sometimes and laugh out load others. I think the author writes very well. *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

The Wird aka Weird sisters have turned the paranormal world upside down with their unique abilities and sassy attitudes. The series has gained quite the fandom and the Weird sisters have carved a special place on my bookshelf.
The Wird sisters are intense with bold personalities and a “tell it like it is” attitude that makes them pretty badass. The exception to this rule is Emme- youngest Wird sister, innocent, kind, compassionate with her background in healing. Emme is all about making love and not war and after the most disastrous date of the century with a pretty bad dating record she just wants to find her “mate”, someone to call her own.
Emme was a really complex character which I appreciated. Being from a large family, especially of sisters, there's always the tendency for jealousy and fighting. Emme has been battling self-esteem issues for her entire life feeling like an outsider looking into her crazy chaotic family. This coupled with her “pushover” attitude makes her feel like she has no voice.
Touch of evil gave Emme that opportunity to prove to everyone that she may be tiny but she is mighty. It also gave us a sweet introduction into a possible “ship” with Bren who has enough issues in his past to write a novel.
Touch of Evil was a delightfully funny yet at times serious murder mystery novella that was the perfect introduction to Emme and Bren.
Thank you to Cecy Robinson and NetGalley for providing me with an arc!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I have been looking forward to Emme and Bren’s story after obvious sexual tension between them in Flame and Fury. Having experienced the impressive writing of Cecy Robson on several occasions, I went into Touch of Evil with high expectations and she did not disappoint.
Emme has always been the shy and quiet one among her sisters. Her compassionate nature complemented her gift of healing. However, she struggled with low self-esteem, which intensified as she watched her sisters find their mates and she remained single. She would do anything to have someone to call her own, but with her poor dating record, that may prove difficult.
Touch of Evil revealed a side of Emme I never expected, bold, mighty and fierce. It goes to show one should never underestimate the quiet ones.
I enjoyed reading Brenn’s POV. The statements spewing from his lips had me laughing for most of the story. I also had fun with the interactions between him and Emme. I thought they complemented each other. Despite seeing this funny side to him, there was a lot I still did not know about him. Mysterious and hot, that is Brenn for you. I can’t wait to unravel that mystery.
Earlier, I mentioned the sexual tension between the main characters highlighted in Flame and Fury, well the reason for it came to light in this story.
I had a wonderful time with this book. The action, mystery and suspense had me flipping the pages. My only complaint, I needed more of this couple.
Conclusion/Recommendation
In Touch of Evil, Robson delivered a story which mixed action with humour, mystery and romance culminating into an addictive read.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
