Publisher's summary

Clay Bennett is a powerful DarkRiver sentinel, but he grew up in the slums with his human mother, never knowing his changeling father. As a young boy without the bonds of Pack, he tried to stifle his animal nature. He failed... and committed the most extreme act of violence, killing a man and losing his best friend, Talin, in the bloody aftermath. Everything good in him died the day he was told that she, too, was dead.

Talin McKade barely survived a childhood drenched in bloodshed and terror. Now a new nightmare is stalking her life - the street children she works to protect are disappearing and turning up dead. Determined to keep them safe, she unlocks the darkest secret in her heart and returns to ask the help of the strongest man she knows....

Clay lost Talin once. He will not let her go again, his hunger to possess her, a clawing need born of the leopard within. As they race to save the innocent, Clay and Talin must face the violent truths of their past... or lose everything that ever mattered.

Mind over matter: listen to more in the Psy-Changeling series.

Critic reviews

"Paranormal romance at its best." ( Publishers Weekly)

Best one so far

I like how she changed this one up a bit adding a human to the mix.

I love the build up for the next book

💥 "Mine to Possess" by Nalini Singh takes us back to the vibrant world of the DarkRiver pack, with a twist. This time, the story focuses on humans and changelings. Clay Bennett is a sentinel with a violent past, and Talin McKade, his childhood best friend, is a social worker trying to save street kids from a horrific fate. When their paths cross after years of separation, they must confront their dark history to work together and solve the mystery behind the missing children.

🧍‍♂️Clay is a DarkRiver sentinel whose inner beast is always on the edge. His fierce protectiveness for Talin drives much of the story. Talin, on the other hand, is a strong-willed human with her own demons. Their bond is undeniable, but their painful past makes it challenging for them to trust each other fully.

❤️ The romance between Clay and Talin is intense and filled with tension. Despite their history, Talin's reluctance to get close to Clay creates an emotional push and pull that keeps you engaged. Clay's possessive nature is tempered by his deep love for Talin, leading to moments of tenderness amid the chaos.

👫 The supporting cast includes familiar faces from the Psy-Changeling world, as well as new characters like the enigmatic Ghost and the intriguing Forgotten. These side characters add depth to the plot and hint at larger events within the Psy-Changeling universe.

✍️ Nalini Singh's writing is as captivating as ever. She skillfully weaves together the mystery of the missing children with the complex relationship between Clay and Talin. The balance of suspense, action, and romance keeps you turning pages. However, some elements, like Talin's illness, might feel a bit farfetched to some readers.

🌟 "Mine to Possess" is a thrilling addition to the Psy-Changeling series. The blend of mystery, romance, and action is compelling, and the world-building continues to expand in exciting ways. While the main characters' relationship may not resonate as much as previous couples, the plot's twists and turns will keep you hooked.

Back in the Psy Game!

I read the first 3 psy changling books a couple of years ago and I got distracted...I decided to download book 4 for a nice change of pace and SOOO glad I did! I forgot how cool this world was!!!

Clay, the hard ass leopard sentinel has always been a loaner....the pack knows that, heck even the readers know that, but we didn't know why until now.

Tallon, the human never should have befriended the little boy named Clay, but he was hurt and she wanted to help...and that one act cemented their souls forever.

It's been 20 years since Clay was told his best friend, his only friend, Tallon died....so how is she standing in front of him asking for help?

Great book, already downloaded book 5, I have missed this world, if you haven't listened to these books you just don't know what you are missing.

Great for sale, credit or *gulp* BUY....yup....it's good!

Great Book

I definitely love the characters in the series. It has just enough of a love story in suspense to keep you on your toes.

Dorian’s story is set up for the next book, along with the development of “the Ghost” story line.
Dawe does a good job of narration.

Needs more stars!

This series is wonderful and so full of well rounded characters. The world and characters continue to grow. The stories are ones that you will want to revisit. Well worth the credits

A Very Intriguing Romantic Storyline

This story opened a unique avenue for many things. Obviously it was her intent, and very well done. Thou the history of Clay & Talin was horrible, their strengths to work things out & together was beautiful. My only reason for not 5 stars is that I wanted more love scenes between the two.

Psy Changlings Rock

I laugh, I cry and tell people to be quiet so I can continue my book.

Another great book by Nalini Singh

This is such a great series! I never feel like I've wasted a credit on any of these books. I suggest starting with the first but each can be read as a stand alone.

Definitely worth a credit

Changeling passion at its best!

Clay and Talin's story... WOW!! Nalini is positively an amazing author. Even though this wasn't a psy to changeling match, Nalini brings the human, psy and all the changeling worlds together throughout the book. The romance between Clay and Talin is hot and everything you hope for them!
