Psychics – Cannonball Read 17

Tangle of Need by Nalini Singh

I’m slowly making my way through the first set of Psy Changeling novels by Nalini Singh. As Singh is from New Zealand and Tangle of Need has the couple trotting the globe, this counts towards the passport challenge. CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (book 2 of 3) In the eleventh book, Singh subverts the idea of fated mates with Lieutenant wolf shifter Riaz and wolf soldier Adria. Riaz’s wolf recognized a married woman as his mate. He struggles with the fact they can never […]

A slow burn romance with a deadly telekinetic and a wolf alpha.

Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

CBR Bingo: Cold I’ve been tearing through Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling novels. Kiss of Snow is the tenth book in the original series. Using this for the “Cold” square due to “Snow” in the title. But also down to the cold nature of the Psy in this world. I highly recommend you read the other nine books before this one. The tension between the love interests has been building across multiple books. So many fans say this is their favorite one. The hype level was […]

I’m completely hooked on Nalini Singh’s expansive Psy-Changeling universe. In this near-future world, the psy run the world with cool efficiency. They have powers ranging from telekinesis to foresight. The Psy have shunned all emotion with the Silence protocol. Any psy who shows emotion is reconditioned, which means a full lobotomy level brain wipe. They go to such extremes because their powers have driven people to homicidal rampages. At the start of the series, a Psy council member wants to partner with the San Francisco […]

She’s Not Afraid to Catch Feelings

Grave Reservations by Cherie Priest

I was really excited to get my hands on this. It had good reviews and its quirky nature seemed up my alley. And it…mostly met expectations. Let’s unpack… For all intents and purposes, this is a cozy mystery and I don’t usually do cozies. The relentlessly sunny outlook despite the presence of a dead body, the sexless flirting and banter, the stuffy settings and predictable plots. But even though this has some of that, it was written by a younger person who isn’t trying too […]

CBR13 Bingo: Home (so many of the various characters come from very unstable family backgrounds and are only too happy to settle in Mystic Bayou, having finally find somewhere they can properly call home) This is going to be a bulk review for the first six stories (four novels, two novellas) in the Mystic Bayou paranormal romance series by Molly Harper. I listened to all the books in audio, as they are available as part of the Audible Plus catalogue. Considering that I already pay […]

Leopard lovers

Mine to Possess (Psy-Changeling #4) by Nalini Singh

Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changeling #5) by Nalini Singh

December 28, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I returned to Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series after loving the first three books. In this shared universe, the Dark River leopard changelings (aka shifters) control the greater Sam Francisco area. They have pissed off the Psy council who basically run the world with their psychic powers. Some of the psychics have defected to the shifters and messing with the power balance. It’s so interesting to meet the love interests with the political elements woven into their story. Clay in Mine to Possess is a Dark […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
