Blurb:
New York Times bestselling
author Nalini Singh takes us into the hearts of two fractured people in a world
on the brink of a psychic Armageddon . . .
Silence has fallen. The Psy are free to feel emotion. Free to love. But Silence
was never a prison for Ivan Mercant. The biggest threat to his future lies
dormant in his brain—a psychic monster that wants only to feed. And now, the
brutal leash he’s kept on that monster is slipping. He prepared for this day,
for the end of Ivan Mercant . . . but that was before he met Lei.
As primal as she is human, this wild changeling brings color into his life,
laughter to his soul. Then the dream shatters in a rain of blood, in silent
bodies in the snow. Lei is gone. Vanished without a trace . . . until he meets
strangely familiar eyes across a busy San Francisco street.
Soleil Bijoux Garcia is a healer who has lost everything. She exists in a world
of desolate aloneness . . . till the day she finds herself face-to-face with a
lethal stranger. The animal who is her other half knows this man, but her
memories are tattered fragments. Sorrow and a need for vengeance are all that
drive her. Her mission? To kill the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack.
But fate has other plans. Soon, a deadly soldier who believes himself a monster
and a broken healer might be all that stand between life and death for the
entire Psy race. . .
My review:
Ivan Mercant is the head of
security for the Mercant family enterprises. Ivan has secrets in a family that
specializes in secrets. His control is absolute even after the fall. That is
until he finds a ray of sunshine in the form of an ocelot shifter who favors
bright colors and happiness.
Ivan is not your typical Psy. Raised
with his cousins from the age of eight he owes everything he is to the Mercant
matriarch Ena Mercant. Family is everything. It gives him a reason for being
and something to hold on to, keeping him from becoming a monster.
Lei is a shifter without a
pack. Her life has been one crisis after another. Her cat wants Ivan and
refuses to take no for an answer.
I loved this story. We get to
visit with some old favorites. I like that the story emphasizes the necessity
of folks from different backgrounds working together to make things happen for
the good of all. This is a fantastic addition to the series.
