Synopsis
Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the Psy- dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned to is that of a murderer targeting a Psy Councilor’s closest advisers. And the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a Psy on the verge of catastrophic mental fracture.
Review
This book is a throwback to the first three books in the series in terms of the writing style, and that is a good thing. I’m going to look at the character and the plots of the book. Just a word of caution, in order for you to get the whole story of this book you need to at least read the first two books in this series.
The hero Max: a strong human, with a horrible past. This makes him very strong, if somewhat cold.
The heroine Sophia: a Justice Psy who is close to her breaking point. She too has her own childhood horrors and that as well makes her strong and vulnerable at the same time.
The plot: in this book there are a few. The first is of course the underlying story of the Psy, Changlings and Humans and their interactions with each other as well as what is going wrong in the Psy community. The second is the mysterys in the book that the hero and heroine are working on and last but not least is the romance.
I loved this book. The hero and heroine are very likable and you feel for them. You get to check on the characters from the other books and see how their lives are going, and you discover some new surprising information on the Psy characters. It is an engaging book that takes you to the world that Nalini Singh has created, and makes you marvel at it.
