Excellent!
I might like this better than Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter). Nalini Singh creates a very interesting mythology regarding the Psy, a people with exceptional psychic abilities who have been bred and trained to eliminate all emotion. I don't know that she has added much to the were-panther/werewolf lexicon, but as I know this is the start of a series, perhaps she develops that back story more in future books. She creates a great deal of detail about the Psy world and the Psy connections. It is very original and refreshing.

The romance was a slow build and convincing. Their chemistry and their emotional connection was carefully established and believable. It was sexy and sweet. I found the love scenes in this book a wee bit more risque than Angels' Blood, pretty steamy.

I like Singh's books because not everyone in the book is a WASP and the people feel more like the real world. I think the super dominant male is sexy and she shows him being dominant, doesn't just tell us over and over (which is a failing of many other writers in this genre). The worst part of the book is the silly/embarrassing title. Definitely looking forward to reading more from this series and this author.

4 stars
