Publisher's summary

When a brilliant young researcher is kidnapped, DarkRiver sentinel Mercy, a cat, and SnowDancer lieutenant Riley, a wolf, must work together to track the young man - before his shadowy captors decide he's no longer useful. Along the way, the two dominants may find that submitting to one another uncovers not just a deadly conspiracy, but a passion so raw that it'll leave them both branded by fire.

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

Critic reviews

"One of the greatest pleasures of these books is their ability to deliver both an intensely personal love story as well as a riveting societal drama. Singh is on the fast track to becoming a genre giant!" ( Romantic Times)

Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Fantastic

Mercy & Riley is one of my favs of this series. This story was very well written and centered on the couple getting together dealing with 2 predatory high rank lieutenants from different Changeling packs. 1 is wolf 1 is leopard. The storyline as well as the sub plots progressed fluidly. And we find out Sasha the leopard alphas mate is pregnant 😃

Angela Dawe is excellent.

I love the way the story is read. A narrator can make or break a story and Angela Dawe is excellent. There are very few narrators that read series that make me seek out their other work and she is one of them. The way this series is read is not to fast and not too slow. It definitely keeps you in suspence. It also helps that Nalini Singh tells a great story. My only complaint is I want more of the Psy-Changeling novels faster.

One of the best of the whole series!!

If you are worried about whether or not to continue the series because books 4 and 5 weren’t as good as 1-3, do not fear!! This one is amazing and some of the best in the series are also yet to come!! I’m actually about to listen to this book for the third time in 2 years haha. Mercy and Riley are the best!

Another good fiction story

This one starts with a bang, true to Mercy’s character. The production seems a bit off with long pauses in unusual places, but the narrator’s voice fits the story, as does the acting.

Hardened heroine

Book 6 is a Changeling to Changeling pairing. Mercy, a Leopard Changeling and Riley, a Wolf Changeling.

I am loving the progress from story to story. I enjoy seeing past book characters as well as new characters. For such a dominant wolf, Riley was more sensitive than I was expecting. I liked that about him.

Mercy is also a dominant female and unfortunately she came off too hard to me. Her expectations seemed to be really high as well. She wanted a more dominant male but there seemed to be a fine line for her expectations of Riley. I guess it was a good thing he had that sensitive side to him that kept him from being too dominant for Mercy.

Still very good, I just didn't enjoy Mercy as much as I have past heroines in the series.

A Favorite! Have Mercy on Riley...purrrfect.

This is one of my favorites in the Psy-Changeling Series. Mercy, the head-strong leopard Sentinel, is the perfect mate for Riley, the steady, quick-thinking, Snowdancer Lieutenant. Although it takes the entire book for the bond to form, the journey is never boring. If you like the series, you will love this book!
