Slave to Sensation (Psy/Changeling, #1)

by Nalini Singh

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…

Set in the near future when people are divided into three, Psy (or psychics), Were and human. Psy decided long ago that emotions were dangerous and any sign of emotion is ruthlessly suppressed and the methods of dealing with it are scary.

In this world Sascha Duncan lives in terror of being found out as having feelings but fears the rehabilitation, it would wipe her our.

Into her world comes Lucas Hunter, a changeling hunting a changeling killer, who is possibly a Psy. The two of them are attracted but can they do anything about it without her being destroyed.

I liked the story. I liked the characters and I really would like to read more in this world.
