A Soul to Touch is third book of Duskwalker Brides series and this is a story about a demonhunter, Mayumi.

Mayumi didn't really know what happened when she lost her cat as a kid but it turned out that a duskwalker saved her and because she was looking for her cat the said duskwalker started using the name Kitty. Mayumi renames him Faunus after they meet again after a forest God. She allows him to stay with her because he didn't intend to harm her, and the idea of having a big guard dog sounded far safer to her than some charms.

I loved how protective and jealous Faunus is about Mayumi even when he knew that she could take care of herself but I didn't like how she sometimes used his jealousy against him. Mayumi trusted him the moment he said he were there because he wanted to protect her. I was so sad how he finally got to be with her but didn't think he could get everything he wanted because of what happened to him. 

I really liked seeing Faunus with his brothers and I was a little sad there weren't more scenes with them or their mates but I was also glad that Mayumi had other friends. I was so happy to see Faunus mention Fyodor and how much hoped to meet him again. I hope the twins will appear in later books. They seemed so much fun. They just wanted to play with Faunus.

All in all I enjoyed this book but it didn't give me the same feelings as the two earlier books and I disliked how in the last few chapters Mayumi still described him as her friend.
