THE FIRST PSY/CHANGELING NOVEL from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian... The book that Christine Feehan called "a must-read for all of my fans."
In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…
I’m really happy with how this book turned out. The whole story developed nicely and at a good pace. It’s like any other romance book, naturally, where there’s ups and downs but always a happy ending. I liked the supernatural twist though. It was a twist on vampires and werewolves, without being actual vampires or werewolves. All the characters were likable and I enjoyed them.
The only reason I wouldn’t give this a full five out of five is because there were some things that were a little complicated. Like the whole psy mind network thing. If doesn’t go into enough detail about how it works or even how the shifters really are. You see a little but into each culture but not enough for my mind to really grasp how their world works.
