Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh

Wolf Rain (Psy-Changeling Trinity, #3)

by Nalini Singh

The fate of millions of lives hangs in the balance in this new Psy-Changeling Trinity novel from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh...

Kidnapped as a young girl, her psychic powers harnessed by a madman, Memory lives a caged and isolated existence . . . until she comes face-to-face with a wolf. Labelled an empath by her bad-tempered rescuer, Memory knows that her 'gift' is nothing so bright. It is a terrible darkness that means she will always be hunted.

But Memory is free now and she intends to live. A certain growly wolf can just deal with it.

Alexei prefers to keep his packmates at bay, the bleak history of his family a constant reminder that mating, love, hope is not for him. But Memory, this defiant and fearless woman who stands toe-to-toe with him awakens the most primal part of his nature - and soon, he must make a choice: risk everything or lose Memory to a murderous darkness that wants to annihilate her from existence . . .

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

It was good to be back in Pack territory. I wasn’t sure if we were going to back into SnowDancer and Dark River pack territories in this spin off series of the original Psy-Changeling series. It was nice to see so many characters that I loved from the original series.

This story follows Alexi, who has been off and on in the series. He is a bit of a lone wolf. Keeping himself separate from the pack. The males in his family have a history of going rogue, especially after finding their mates. Alexi is determined to never find his mate in order to avoid going rogue like his father and brother.

While he is out patrolling, he “hears” a woman crying out in his mind. Her grief is overwhelming, so Alexi goes to investigate and finds Memory, an E-Psy different from most other Es. Memory was kidnapped as a child by one of the psychopathic Psys that many believed didn’t exist in Silence. But the truth of the matter they did exist, their crimes were just covered up to give the illusion that they were just like everyone else.

This as a fun story. I liked seeing how Alexi and Memory work through their issues to come together and become part of the larger pack and Psy cultures. The fact that they are both misfits and apart from others only helps to bring them together. I also enjoyed seeing so many of my favorite characters.

This is another must-listen for fans of the series. If you haven’t tried the Psy-Changeling series, I highly recommend it. The series takes place in the future and features humans, shifters and psy (which are a species with extremely powerful minds and mental powers).

Narration
I continue to enjoy the narration of Angela Dawe. She’s great with the wide array of characters in this long running series, many of them being men. I think she’s great with the pacing and tone of each scene. If you’ve never listened to Angela Dawe, I highly recommend her.

**I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
