I don't think I've ever read a bad, or even mediocre book in the Psy-Changeling series, or by Nalini Singh in general. The Psy-Changeling Trinity series has been extra interesting as we navigate the alliance among the Psy, Changelings and Humans. I have enjoyed expanding into some of the different changeling groups... but also loved coming back to our favorite wolf pack with this latest installment, Wolf Rain.
In this story, we follow tortured heroine and rare empath, Memory Aven-Rose, as she learns to live life outside captivity, and come to terms with her rare and unusual empathic powers. I really liked this heroine. Although she has suffered a lifetime of abuse, she has maintained her own personality and strength. I can't imagine how strong her rebellious strength must have been to survive so many years under a monster. While she was afraid of many things, particularly how others would view her abilities, she faced each new event with courage and determination. I admired that about her. I enjoyed watching her become accepting of herself, and inspiring our hero to become accepting of himself as well.
Our hero is Snow Dancer Alexei Vasiliev, who has experienced a good amount of tragedy in his own right. Having lost a good amount of family to going rogue, Alexei has to come to term with the demons those tragedies caused in his own mind. But finding a captive Psy, small as a kitten but as courageous as a lion, seems to be just the thing that Alexei needed to make him realize a few truths. I loved Alexei's alpha protective side, and the touch of vulnerability made him all the more relatable as a character.
The relationship between our couple unfolded at the perfect pace for the book. I loved that Alexei didn't want to rush things, but Memory took back her power and progressed as she was ready. They not only had sexual chemistry, but great emotional chemistry as well.
Things continue to deteriorate and change in the Psy-Net, which causes dangerous ripples throughout the world. While Memory seems to be able to help with these issues, which was new and interesting... first she has to deal with her psychotic monster of a captor. The suspense plot and action sequences were great to advance the plot alongside the romance, and kept me captivated as I was reading.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from the publisher.
