With one touch, Leila can see it all.
Leila Marx is trying to put her life back together after her fiancé is murdered. When Detective Garrick Pearson enlists her help with a difficult case, she is thankful for the distraction and the opportunity to use her talents as a touch clairvoyant. Leila and Garrick delve into the mystery behind a series of missing teenage girls and mummified corpses while discovering their own growing attraction to each other.
Conner Hoffman is an intriguing lawyer and striking half-demon who enters Leila’s life unexpectedly. Although her visions are terrifying, she is fascinated by his charm and his legacy. When it becomes evident that the murders are linked to a paranormal event, Conner introduces Leila to a world unbeknownst to ordinary society. She suddenly finds herself immersed in supernatural politics, sorcery, and danger as she becomes the killer’s next target.
Staying alive will mean relying on friends, accepting the unbelievable, and trusting in her heart again.

I love this part. If Touching Evil were made into a movie, who would I pick for my dream cast. This was a pretty easy decision for me since I've had these characters in my head for years!
Leila Marx (Yvonne Strahovski)

Love Interests: Garrick Pearson and Conner Hoffman
Dealing with: The death of her fiance, discovering the existence of supernaturals, assisting with a murder investigation
Memorable Quotes:
"Any chance you could just be a lawyer? I mean, they are monsters in and of themselves."
"I've seen a lot over the past week and I'm learning something new every day. I'm not touching anything from you."
I thought about the repetitive arguments, circular discussions, and canine stench waiting inside and said, "No, this is not a bad time to talk."
"Don't you think someone is going to notice you? It's not like you blend."
The Men: Leila's life wouldn't be as complicated as it is without having two guys vying for her attention. Although these relationships are just in the beginning stages, here's why these two men are swoonworthy!
Garrick Pearson (Sam Claflin)
