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)

wonderful listening experience

loved it ,made the long drive to work seem real short, almost wished it was longer so I didn't have to quit listening

Glad I listened to this...

I was and still am anxious to hear the story of Sienna and Hawke that I am very tempted to skip ahead. I am glad I didn't. The reviews were a great influence. This is a great story about the couple's journey to matehood, without losing the bigger Psy-Changeling story-line intermixed together. Definitely, worth the listen!

Incredible

Full of action, romance, hot bedroom or leaning on a tree times, showing the two packs, thou very different can be intertwined more than thought. Lots of mystery. Great narration by Angela Dawe.

It keeps getting better and better

This is book 6 and the series is still amazing! So far Mercy and Riley's story is my favorite! After so many books I thought the series would get old. Thankfully that's not the case here. The story remains fresh and interesting. As always, the Psy-Changeling series is very sexy and this is by far the best!

Can't wait for the next book! Always a great listen and worth a credit.

GREAT addition to the series!!

In the 6th Psy/Changeling book, we move right along with the pairing of the the Sentinel Mercy from the Dark River cats, and the Lieutenant Riley from the Snowdancer wolves. They're the liasons between the two packs ~ and have to be able to work together. Which, yeah, they've been doing ~ with some sniping and clawing...and now a little kiss and no tell.






When Mercy has an itch that it just seems like no one but that wolf can scratch, she can't control the urge...but it's a one time thing, right? Or a fling? Because a cat and wolf? Just not gonna happen on anything but the short term. And being as they're both high ranking members of their respective packs, this 'thing' can lead no where...right? But Mercy had thought she'd go her whole life and never find anyone who could actually equal, let alone dominate her cat. She'd thought she'd therefore go mateless...but Riley? Yeah, that wolf could meet her one on one.






Riley has always thought the woman for him would be a woman he could depend on to stay safe and sound at home while he was out protecting the pack and his Alpha...never did he want a woman like Mercy.






And while Mercy and Riley are fighting the natural (or unatural ) urges between their cats and wolves, the Psy and Human Alliance are creating havoc all around them, threatening their city as a whole, and they youths in their pack. And the Psy Council are plotting in the background...






I ADORE this series ~ but I want to caution you, this is really not a stand alone series. The romances in each book ARE stand alone, but the Psy/Changeling story is a long one, and the threads run through each book. It's such an engrossing tale, it's a fine line for Nalini Singh to keep the back story from taking over the relationship in each book ~ I think she does an amazing job, but sometimes I find myself wanting more of the story about the Council than I do about the hero/heroine, lol. Yes, she's THAT good! This is an amazin series, with characters you can't decide from one book to the next if you love them or hate them, trust them or want to strangle them...And whose side are they on, anyway?






Mercy and Riley were amazingly strong characters ~ I loved how they played off one another, and had to learn to deal with the fact that they were BOTH dominant. Awesome book ~






The Narration ~ I'm a fan of Angela Dawe. When I first started listening to Nalini Singh on Audio, I wasn't sure about Angla Dawe ~ but she really does do the series justice...I won't say it's fabulous, but it's pretty great, and for the Psy she's fab. And you have to take that she's doing male and female, and she does an excellent job of distinguishing between them, and letting us know exactly who we're hearing each time. Important for me ~ I've bought more audio books just because Angela Dawe narrated them, so I'm pretty impressed!!

Loved it!

I love this book (and series)! Mercy is as strong and independent as Riley, which causes fireworks to ignite both in and out of the bedroom. I really hope Audible adds Book 7, 8 & 9 soon so we can have the complete series!!!!!

Wonderful

I really loved Angela Dawe’s rendition of this book. She brings out the emotion and action of Mercy and Riley’s story. There were some issues with the quality of the recording but they were minor.

Woooooooowwwwwwww! Favorite one yet!

I mean.. wow. I'm a sucker for an electric love scene abs This book had plenty! There was an electric sexual tension to this book in a way that far surpassed the others. And I was all for it!

Of course the overarching story was absolutely amazing as we learn more and delve deeper into the world that Nalini Singh has created! 5's all across the board!

Another Layer of Information

I love how this series keeps getting more and more complicated, especially fleshing out the overarching storyline. Every couple from the previous books shows up in some form in this book and I really like that. The main couple is a little different, since this is the first changeling/changeling we've had. I like how each new couple increases the complexity within the storyline and also enmeshes the two changeling packs together. I'm definately looking forward to future books in this series. Angela Dawe is a wonderful narrator for these books.

Branded by fire

This is my favorite book in the series! I really enjoyed this book! Excited for the next book
