(Spoilers for Touch)
It's no secret that I LOVED Touch by Jus Accardo. How could I not? With a tough yet vulnerable MC like Dez and the super hot and deadly yet clueless Kale, I was immediately hooked! After eagerly anticipating Toxic and after a few release date set backs, I was ecstatic when I received my review copy.

After Dez makes a bargain to save Kale's life in Touch, she is warned that there will be consequences for it. But Dez doesn't care because nothing can be worse than losing Kale, right? Fast forward to the present and Dez discovers that she has lost her immunity to Kale's deadly touch. After being the only person that Kale was able to touch, this definitely puts a strain on their relationship. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Dez only has a few months left until she turns 18 and the Supremacy program kicks in and her dad has ordered two new powerful and deadly sixes after her. To make things worse, Ginger has brought in a new six to "help" Kale control his powers. Not only does Jade have very valuable power, she is also a man-stealing girl who is after Kale. (Excuse me while I do some breathing exercises to calm me down...OK, I think I'm good)

Jade is one of the most manipulative characters I have read about and I hate her so much with this fiery passion that consumes me and I wish she would die a horrible, slow and painful death. (Yeah, she's that bad!) There were many time when she would frustrate me so bad that I had to put the book down. Although Kale is a deadly assassin and can kill someone hundreds of different ways, being sheltered his whole life has him lacking some serious...common sense. Something Jade is not afraid to take full advantage of. Poor Kale doesn't know that he shouldn't let another girl hold your hand or take another girl to your date with Dez. And Dez, I know she is dealing with a LOT in life but the last thing you should be doing if another girl is after your guy is keeping secrets from him and pushing him away! ESPECIALLY if that girl is trying to convince your guy that you are still involved with your ex. Speaking of Alex, I always had a soft spot for him in Touch and it continues in Toxic. Not that I want him with Dez but I do want him to be happy. Please Jus, do not kill off Alex! (Please?)

As you can probably tell, Toxic was a very frustrating story for me but I absolutely LOVED it! Toxic takes us on one hell of an emotional roller coaster that will test your patience leave you feeling drained. But as soon as you finish reading the last page you will want more! And that ending? Evil! Although Dez makes a lot of stupid choices, she still manages to hold on to the snarky and tough personality that made me love her in the first book, even if she is barely hanging on by a thread. Kale continues to be awesome and we get to see more of Alex and the rest of the sixes, new and old characters. Actually, the scenes where Kale and Alex fight over Dez are some of my favorites. Even though I HATED Jade, kudos to you Jus for writing a character that can evoke so many strong emotions from me. Whether its love or hate, when I feel something this strong for a character, for me, that is what being a great author is all about. Can't freaking wait for the next book in the Denazen series: Tremble and the next novella: Faceless. Although I will always be Team Kale, I hope Faceless is told in Alex's POV.

Full of heart-pounding action, suspense and emotional turmoil, Toxic is a fantastic addition to the Denazen series that you will NOT want to miss!

Some of my favorite non-spoiler quotes from Toxic:
-When Kale finally spoke again, his voice sounded calm, but I knew better. If anything, it was laced with more hate than before. "You're correct. I can't touch her for the time being-but neither can you."
Alex's lip twitched. He folded his arms and puffed out his chest, standing a little straighter. I knew that stance. A challenge. "Wanna bet?"
"I do," Kale responded coolly. "Because if you try to do it again, I'll touch you. Then the only thing you'll be touching is the wind as you're scattered across this world."

-"I can't imagine what it must have been like to have no human interaction. How horrible."
He opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "He had human interaction. He had me."
Jade flashed me a mock frown. "Had-past tense.

-"Are you serious? She's just waiting for a chance to jump you."
His eyes widened. Expression serious, he leaned forward. "That's what you're worried about?"
"Well, yeah. She can--"
He chuckled and scooted just a little closer. "That's ridiculous. She has no training."
Training? For crap's sake. Sometimes, I wanted to beat my head against the wall when talking to Kale.

-"Dude, we're the same kind."
Fist clenched, Kale leaned closer. "We are nothing alike."
Alex lost his grin. Jaw tight, he nodded in my direction. "We're exactly alike. We both hurt her."

-Expression sad, he said, "You can't touch me like you used to. But you can still talk to me." He took a step closer. "I need you to talk to me, Dez."

Toxic Denazen Jus Accardo Books Reviews

2.5 stars Lets start by saying both Touch (A Denazen Novel) and Untouched (A Denazen Novella)are great reads, and I was looking forward to the great story continuing in Toxic. And did Toxic start wonderfully, yes. The first 20% of Toxic was brilliant. The opening scene, fantastic, and the building tension and resulting situation of Dez not being able to touch Kale was engaging and intriguing. Of course they introduced a female, Jade, whom could touch Kale. Of course we want to hate her, so brilliant idea. In addition someone from their side is leaking secrets to Dez's father, who can it be? I was thinking this was going to be even better than the first one and the novella.

But sadly that all came to a crushing holt. What happened to the brilliant build up was a repeative and frustrating read. One in which Dez kept a secret from Kale and her feelings from him. What I loved about Dez and Kale in the previous books was, their openess to each toehr, their honesty, thier kick butt attitude, their love for each other, it was all gone, because Dez would not talk about it with Kale. I found it to be repetitive and annoying. Dez would moan about Jesse spending time with Kale, but would not really talk to Kale about it. Dez was continuly thinking should I tell him about my secret or not. YES!! TELL HIM!!!!!! I was yelling at my kindle. (what is it about book two's in series where the h wont tell the H something he can help with? This has been happening in a few). Added to this who is passing on the imformation to the baddies? It was pretty obvious when only two new characters get introduced.

Now for a few spoilers

Obviously Kale eventually finds out, and the book starts to redeem itself, with the build up of will Dez be helped, or will Kale be captured. Will they be able to touch again? What will happen? What happens is an annoying cliff hanger!!!! The whole can Dez touch Kale again is not even answered. Why this could not be answered I do not know, was it not the point of the whole book?????? Sure keep the other cliff hanger, thats fine, and what I expected. But not to answer the whole touch thing. MISTAKE.

End of spoiler

Overall I was very disappointed. I felt Dez was changed as a character, I did not like how predictable the baddie was, or how predictable the cliff hanger ending was. But mostly I disliked the bit I talked about in the spoiler part.
Will I be reading the next one in the series? Undecided.
Will I read it again? No
Would I recommend it? Sorry, but no.
