Last Guard is the fifth book in the Psy-Changeling Trinity series and the twentieth book overall in the Psy-Changeling universe. Due to the sequential, highly connected nature of the two series, this book contains spoilers for the previous novels. This review will, consequently, also contain spoilers. Payal Rao is in a desperate situation. Her father,…
If you’re a fan of urban fantasy or paranormal romance, I imagine you’re familiar with Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series. I discovered it back in 2006, and I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. Ocean Light is the seventeenth installment, and the second entry in a sort of second story arc called the Psy/Changeling Trinity series,…
An AAR Top 100 Romance originally published on September 30, 2006 This is the first book I’ve read by Nalini Singh, but it won’t be my last. I kept wishing that work would stop interrupting my reading time…isn’t a three hour lunch acceptable these days? The author created an all-around terrific alternate reality; the world…
Night Shift is a collection of three alternate reality/paranormal romances and one fantasy romance, all by established genre authors. The first three stories were solid visits to worlds those authors have written about in other books, which contributes to the generally-strong worldbuilding in the collection. The fourth, my favorite, was by Meljean Brooks under a…
Wild Embrace is a selection of stories set in Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling world. I found the anthology to be uneven, with the first story excellent and the last one flirting with a D. None of the tales are really “stand-alone” novellas – they will work well only for readers familiar with this universe. That is…
I have long been a fan of Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. I remember vividly the first time I opened up Slave to Sensation, and I’ve consistently snapped up the fourteen books that followed as soon as they were released. Wild Embrace has proved no different regarding either my excitement level or the quality of the…
After a while it gets hard to judge books in a series. When the author delivers exactly what we want the books can be repetitious. When the author delivers something new fans can become rabid, snarling beasts that didn’t get the “fix” they were looking for. This is the thirteenth full length novel in the…
Communication, the experts tell us, is the key to a good relationship. Romance seems to run on bad communication – from the Big Mis to the straight out lies for their lover’s good, our heroes and heroines rarely work out their communication problems before the end of the novel. I have no problem with that…
Since the introduction of Hawke, leader of the SnowDancer wolf pack, and Sienna Lauren, a Cardinal X-Psy given sanctuary with the pack, readers have been anxiously awaiting their romance. The tenth book in the series (and Ms. Singh’s first hardback) finally grants our wish. Kiss of Snow is a solid entry in Ms. Singh’s highly…
I didn’t date many younger men back when I was doing the singles scene. For some reason, I was always attracted to older guys. But I’ll admit that in romance I find this scenario fascinating. Should an age difference like that affect the the dynamic of the h/h relationship? Does it stay equal? Is the…
