Critic reviews

"When it comes to delivering stories that grab you by the throat and don't let go, Singh is in a class by herself!" ( Romantic Times)

Just read a whole bunch of psy changling, GREAT!

I don't know why I took a break from these, I think the reviews on this one scared me, but it was still great to me.

Dev Santos, head of the sunshine foundation is a dangerous man and several people wish him dead. When he finds a helpless woman at his doorstep who has obviously been savaged he knows she is a trap...but he can't stop falling for her anyway.

If you haven't started this series what the heck is your hold up?

Such an amazing & touching story. It made me cry.

This was definitely one of the best of this series so far. It had been so long since I'd read one of these books, that I thought it might take me a while to get back into it and remember the world. But, it sucked me in and I found myself not wanting to do anything but listen. It twas like coming home.

The two main characters here are both so believable and real. The 'formula' for most romance novels is of course, that some flaw or outside influence comes between the two characters and they have a serious argument that threatens their relationship. This book somewhat goes against the normal formula though. While there is an outside influence that threatens their relationship, they don't fight or split up willingly.

I found myself so emotionally invested in this couple by the end that I was crying and then laughing and crying at the end. Normally, I'm mentally 'glad' for a couple when it works out, but this one was like watching my best friend or favorite cousin fall in love.

Perfect story, perfect narrator

This is the best of the first 7 books. So romantic and interesting. Ms Dawe does an amazing job as a narrator. Loved it!

Awesome Eroctica adventure.

What did you love best about Blaze of Memory?

I enjoyed the myster aspect of this book as much as the Romance. Nalini is an excellent author.

What did you like best about this story?

The Psy Changeling aspect is very riveting.

Which scene was your favorite?

The Scene that Santos finds her and is trying to figure out what to do with her.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me fall in love with Santos.

Another amazing Psy-Changeling

Where does Blaze of Memory rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Angela Dawe does an amazing job. While this isn't my favorite story in the psy changeling world, it gives the listener so much more of where this world is heading!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I didn't LOVE either of the main characters, but loved the kids that are part of the edges of the story (William, Nore, Keenan)

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her narration is really ACTING. When a character is yawning, she yawns. When they shout, she shouts. Its really like she is acting out the book.

Reread

I’ve been rereading all the books and started over because I realized I missed some things. But I want more stories about shine. Wouldn’t it be awesome if that was the piece that was missing for the net to be whole again.

GREAT SERIES!!

Psy-Changeling is an amazing series! I love everyone of these books. I recommend these books to everyone I know!!

Still addicted, but...

What about Angela Dawe’s performance did you like?

She is a really great narrator and I enjoy listening to her, but I do have to say that there isn't enough pauses between chapters and changes in scenes. A small break to indicate a situational change would really help with understanding and the overall flow of the story.

Any additional comments?

The series is really addicting. I love how there is so much more to the books than just sex. The story line is solid and intriguing. I want to know more about this society almost as much as I want to know more about these characters. I will however say that the series is getting a bit repetitive. Strong Alpha male, "weak" confused female, danger and then a nice happy ending to wrap everything up. I will definitely keep reading these books, though I may take a break for a while.

Enjoyable Listen

The narrator did a good job. I wasn't sure I would enjoy this story as we hadn't learned much about Dev in the previous books but I was very pleased with this installment of the Psy-Changeling series.

I love the series, not my favorite book.

I've come back to listen to the entire series again , these two are not my favorite characters. If you are new, keep listening!
