REVIEW: Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh:

Caressed By Ice (The Psy-Changeling Series, Book 3)When I first read you a year ago, you made me realize how truly integrated romance, science fiction, and fantasy could be. I know that my reaction toward your stories is due to your ability to seamlessly blend romance and with the otherworldly aspects that create a true fantasy escape for the reader.

This alternate realty romance provides a rich otherworld filled with three distinct groups: Psy, Changeling and human.

REVIEW: Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms Singh,

Perhaps the praise I’d already heard about your book colored my expectations. Maybe the larger than usual number of shapeshifting books I’ve read recently has filled me with ennui. While I liked much of “Slave to Sensation,” it didn’t wow me.

Sascha Duncan is a member of the Psy race. Years ago, in an effort to reduce the level of violence in the Psy community, the Council decided to begin a program to eliminate emotions. After several generations, the conditioning is complete. Psy operate on logic and practicality. They feel nothing. They feel that this makes them superior to humans and changelings who are ruled by emotions. Changelings, of course, feel differently.

Lucas Hunter is the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack.

There is a serial killer on the loose who is preying on changeling women and Lucas needs an “in” into the Psy community to hunt him. He’s hoping to use Sascha to learn anything he can to nail the killer. After a few meetings with her, …
