Publisher's summary

In his position as Tracker for the SnowDancer pack, Drew Kincaid must rein in rogue Changelings who've lost control of their animal halves - even if it means killing those who've gone too far. But nothing in his life has prepared him for the battle he must now wage - to win the heart of a woman who makes his body ignite... and who threatens to enslave his wolf.

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

Critic reviews

"Compelling characters and wonderfully dense plotting are two reasons why Singh's books continue to enthrall. There is no finer storyteller around!" ( Romantic Times)

Love the characters

Nalini Singh's character seem like people I would like to know, even though many of them are not "human." One of my strongest guages of book quality is a feeling of "I want more!" when I finish and I always feel that when I finish one of her books.

Indigo’s Story was well worth the wait!

Wondered who would be strong enough to mate with Indi. Drew more than fit the bill, they had an amazing story you don’t want to miss. Plus the lead up to many Psy changes & partnerships.

So love Drew!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this one. The dominant females get on my nerves. I finally liked Mercy in book 6 but it took a while. I was nervous that Indigo would never win me over.

It did take a while for me to like her. A strong character, she's a great lieutenant for Snow Dancer pack but she can be mean. She dismissed Drew from a possible lover because of his age and his less dominance in the pack hierarchy. Her own family experience had taught her such pairing would never work. And it took a lot to get her to consider she was wrong.

Drew is comfortable in his own skin. The pack tracker and more importantly the eyes and ears of the alpha, charming Drew is used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Indigo. I totally fell for Drew. He doesn't try to change who he is to better appeal to Indigo, instead he uses his strengths and patience to convince her to give them a shot.

All the while these two are dancing around each other, there is someone threatening the Snow Dancers. As Hawke deals with the problems, favorites from previous books join the story. Judd from book 3 continues to be a favorite of mine and his magic TK skills show up in this one. The overarching story continues as the Psy counsel goes through some dramatic changes. And I continue to be obsessed with this series.

I enjoyed this one so much. Drew is the biggest reason. And as he struggled, I hurt for him. To me, that's a sign of a great author - involving my emotions. Not only was I hurting and scared for him at times but his dominant passion was fanning my own flames. This series is always HOT.

Love this world. Love the writing. Love the characters. Love the series.

Still obsessed and itching for more.

Play of Passion

Well, that was interesting things are heating up with the Psy and the Changelings and it isn’t what you would have expected at the beginning of the series. I am happy things are changing. But I think the worst is yet to come.
Drew and Indy’s relationship is interesting in the fact that they both have to give to get. And that isn’t a bad thing but learning what both their animals need and want is a balance.

I really enjoyed another dominant female, and even though Drew isn’t her equal yet doesn’t mean he couldn’t be with time.

I am enjoying the heck out of this series and I can’t wait to jump into the next book HAWK here I come!

Hint of a cougar story about wolf changelings.

Okay so Indigo is only 4 years older than Andrew, but in her opinion you'd think that gap was wider. So this book has that younger-man-seeks-older-woman tone throughout, including the playfulness of the young male hot for teacher.

This one is one of my favorites, ranking in the upper half of the series. Indigo is a lot like Mercy (from book 6) in that she's a lone female in the upper ranks and has no male in sight. Andrew is a laid-back tracker outside the ranking system and that has Indigo completely confused, especially since she trained him once upon a time. Finally, a book where the guy isn't all stalker and has a more playful attitude. Get it now.

Great series, really good book

I really enjoyed this book and again the over reaching story arc makes it all the better.The characters are really well done and the plots interlink well between books. The narrator does a very nice job. You have to read this series in order.

good book

This book was very interesting. I love this series and this book dose it justice.

So good!

This was such a good book. I love Drew! He is one of my favorite characters.

Female dominate with younger male dominant

So a younger male wolf is more than drawn to a dominate older, beautiful female.

Dominant attitude

I disliked that you left the story unfinished but I did like how it was played out for the two dominant personalities to come together
