You are not at all intimidated being a plain old human (snorting when I write that), even though you are surrounded by folks who could rip you to shreds or melt your brain. You are confident enough to claim a formidable 'J' Psy as your very own woman. How could you not become one of my favorite heroes in this series? Not to mention the fact that you are gorgeous and part-Asian (drooling on keyboard). Again, I wonder if this author is actually a Psy and is extracting data directly from the dark corners of my mind.

Bonds of Justice moved up the list of books in this series, and to near the top of my favorites list. Unlike many fans, I actually enjoy the Psy-focused storylines. Something about these people of formidable mental abilities, and their struggle to stay in control. Control is a theme that hits me hard. Control of oneself, control of others. Escaping control, gaining control. Different aspects of control as a concept resonates deeply with me. I like stories in which the protagonists wrestle with control issues. I like to see the ice cold walls come down, or for them to loosen enough to let that character love and be loved.

Max and Sophia are a perfect pair. They are both wounded on the inside (and for Sophia-also on the outside). Both of them look deeper to see their soulmates. Max was one of the first people to actually 'see' Sophia. To want to take care of her, and to know her. She was thrown away by her parents because she was deemed 'unfit' after she was nearly destroyed by a psychotic Psy as a child. She took the only option available for a Psy of her talents, that as a J-Psy. They have a notoriously short lifespan because of the stressors of their job. They have to work with the worst of humanity, extracting ugly memories to help to solve the most heinous of cases. Eventually all that ugliness destroys them from the inside out. When Sophia meets Max, she knows her days are numbered. But, because she was never subject to Silence, she feels an attraction to him that she decides to pursue, to allow herself to feel that way before her life is taken from her by the Psy (or face total rehabilitation). Close proximity to Max on a case in which they are trying to determine who is trying to kill powerful Psy Councilor Nikita Duncan reveals that he's a man she cannot resist. And Max is more than willing to pursue her. I cared about Sophia, loved her. I wanted her to find that chance of happiness with Max. I think she's deserved it, with her lonely, selfless life. No one should feel so isolated and unloved.

Max has all the traits I love in a hero: keenly intelligent, possessive, strong-minded, a good sense of humor, an infallible sense of justice, and the insight to see the beauty in a wounded Psy like Sophia. Max had some very deep scars. His mother was very cruel to him, abusing him and showing her hatred in every way. He never felt worthy or loved growing up. As an adult, he became dedicated to seeking justice for people, and became one of the most relentless and formidable cops in the Enforcement system. I just adored him. I wanted him to see how worthy he truly is.

I was rooting so hard for Max and Sophia to find their happy ending. I like the way that Nalini Singh worked things out in this book. She broke a pattern and found a resolution that progresses the Psy storyline in a way that makes my interest even more keen.

Big changes are coming for the Psy, that have the potential to affect all three races: Psy, Changeling, and Human. I am excited to see where things go from here.

Gosh, I am so addicted to this series, and this book only made it worse. Ms. Singh tantalized me with glimpses of one of my favorite supporting characters, Psy Councilman, Kaleb Krychek. She has me drooling here. What a sexy, scary, cool, dangerous character here. He's terribly enigmatic. The man has one heck of a siren call going on for this reader. She has to write a book for him. I insist.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I loved this book. There was quite a bit going on, but the romance was lovely, and the Psy elements were awesome. There was even a good mystery thrown in. It was cool to catch up with some of the characters from past books, and to see that they were doing well. I liked how Ms. Singh intertwined Sascha's ongoing storyline so well into this story. There are layers and layers of subtext going on here that balance the Psy-Changeling storyline beautifully. Yup, this is definitely in my top three books in this series. Max, you are giving Hawke, Dorian, and Dev a run for their money, and you have surpassed Judd, although I love that man too. What a major feat for a mere human!

Great story here. Loved it!!! Check out this absurdly-addictive series if you haven't yet. It starts with Slave to Sensation.(less)

We met Max Shannon, the human cop, in one of the earlier books in the series. He is friends with Tally and Clay, members of the Dark River shapeshifter pack. While being handsome and strong, Max is regular in most ways except for the natural mental shield that he has against Psy manipulation. It's been both a blessing and a curse for him. He is not at the mercy of Psy influence, however in the Psy-dominiated world it has hindered his ability to gain promotions into the upper ranks. So when a Psy Council member asks for him to be assigned a special case, he is very surprised.

A Justice Psy, Sophia Russo is used to interacting within the human court system. She regularly comes in contact with the worst offenders, reading their memories and then providing evidence to help in their prosecution. But J-Psys usually only last around 12 years before their shields break down and they must be rehabiliated (i.e., they go crazy and are turned into vegetables). She's worked in the field for more years than most and her shields are on the edge of fracturing. She's not suprised to be called out of the field and assigned to a special case for a Council member--for her is it the beginning of the end?

I was surprised at the author's choice of main characters for this installment. There are so many other characters that seem more interesting and I've been hoping for their stories. But she still made me like Max & Sophia and want to read their story. The world building and plotline were well done. I enjoyed the storylines working the mystery for the council member and also the Bonner case. It was good to see the politics of the Council further developed--seemed to have a good setup for the next book. I love how Singh develops such interesting story arcs that cross books. Definitely made me wonder who Kaleb, another Council member is searching for. And made me think there is more to Sascha's mom than we might have originally thought! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

If you haven't read this author and you like paranormal romance, I recommend giving this series a try. I also love her newest series Guild Hunter. The style of the Guild Hunter series reminds me of a cross between the Night Huntress books by Frost and the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by Ward. Frost since it follows a hero/heroine throughout the course of the books, the appealing/tough/hardworking/no nonsense heroine, and the fact that heroine is reluctant at first for the relationship. And BDB because of the darker, grittier feel and Raphael is such a hot, tough, alpha bad a$$. The first book is Angels' Blood. (less)

You must know, first of all, that these book is not as the rest in the series. While all the rest are pretty much paranormal romance, this one was a bit more romantic-suspense. There was a lot of development in the plot. I think this book was crucial to set up the many changes that are coming in the future. So many things happened.

You said it, Max!

So our heroine of the book, Sophia, is J-Psy which means she's a telepath who's able to slip into minds, get memories, and share them with others. Sophia is also a Sensitive, a psy who picks up thoughts through touch. So there's that, she can't touch skin without her mind being overloaded especially with troubled people. No touching, now that's enough of a roadblock for a relationship, don't you think? Well, brace yourself, her entire mind is connected to the Net. All these obstacles provide great relationship “problems” for Max, a cop with a natural shield to his mind, but don't get the assumption he'd give up too easily. Not by a long shot. They fit together so well and Max says it best: “We fit, you and I. Two broken pieces making a whole.” She's HIS J and he's HER COP. And throughout the book, these two are so intense and in tune to each other, I found myself fanning myself a lot of the time. I mean, the first touch between them, finger to palm, had my jaw dropping at how intimate and sexy it was. Then there were light parts that made me smile, from calling Sophie short, to potential boardroom activities, to interesting ways to use mirrors. :P I personally did not expect to enjoy these two as much as I did.

It was interesting how Sophia's “problem” was solved, the NetMind and DarkMind both protected her when her shields failed near the end. Now she's an extension of the net and has become some sort of a focus. The epilogue including River, Max's long lost younger brother, was somewhat a surprise. Well, I mean I figured he'd pop up but the way it was handled, like everything is all fine and dandy was a little odd. I'm sure there's more than meets the eye. River does seem like a good guy, I loved the teasing with Sophia. I'm sure we'll learn a great deal about him in the future.

On to the plots. Personally I didn't care too much about the sociopath Bonner. He's a crazy loon who alters his memories and loves to kill women. The big surprise in this storyline though, was Kaleb's helpful involvement to Max and Sophia. :P

Next regards Nikita Duncan, Sascha's mother, who requests help from Sophia and Max to find out who's been murdering her advisors. It turns out to be a mole in her inner circle, a fanatic of the Pure Psy, the group whom believes in the purity of Psy and Silence (no mixing with other races). It's all but said that Henry Scott is behind the group. It all leads to a split in the Council. Henry, Shoshanna, and Tatiana are support Pure Psy. Ming is ambivalent. Nikita, Anthony, (and possibly) Kaleb on the other. Oh boy, this storyline with the Council gets better and better with each book.

Now Nikita, she's not fooling me. She showed her “concern” for Sascha and not only that but let's take a look at the company she keeps. Ryan Asquith is an intern who accidentally killed someone using tk. He went through rehab but is breaking Silence again. He's working for Nikita, possibly to be close to Sascha who would understand him and is unofficially spying for Nikita at Pure Psy meetings. Then there's Andre Tulane a Psy who accidentally hit a human with his car and is now doing penance by helping out the woman even though she doesn't blame him one bit. Each are examples of how in a Pure Psy world, they would be unacceptable. And of course there's Sophia and Max, both were rejected by their mothers. I'm looking forward to seeing more about Nikita in future books.

Let's get to DarkRiver. Their appearance reminded me, I do have some favorites in this pack. I'm always such a SnowDancer groupie. What can I say they're the focus in my favorites books of the series: Caressed By Ice, Branded By Fire, and the yet to be titled future Hawke/Sienna book (LMAO, you can't tell me otherwise). So yeah it was nice to see people from the previous books re: cats—most notably Dorian and Lucas messing around with each other (CUTE!), hell even those who annoyed me to the fullest extent were tolerable. I'd like to note a comment Sascha had on Kit and Sienna: "I can sense something between them, but what, I can't yet tell." I hope this is an opening for Sienna to have someone she can really talk to about her feelings and what's going on with her.

My only problem: WHERE'S JUDD?! By the time I got to the end, I was so sure Nalini made a mistake by not having him anywhere in the book, haha. BUT the appearance of Kaleb soothed my soul. Loved all his parts.
"Kaleb looked at the body of the human he'd just killed, his fingers playing with the small platinum charm--a single perfect star--that was always with him, no matter where he went. Glancing down at the star, he said, "For you." For the one person who he knew better than anyone else on this earth, and yet could not teleport to, no matter how many times he tried.
And he'd tried every single day for over six years.
SAY WHAT?!!! I'm more than ready to hear this story, you have no idea. Also you CANNOT tell me he's a bad guy, no way, no how. He did help save Sophia, that's a big something for him. He reminds me of a more intense, scarier, ambiguous version of Judd (see quote in comment below). You're still my #1 Psy, Mr. Lauren, but if Ms. Singh decides to write Kaleb a book, I don't think I could contain myself and yes you'd have yourself some competition. Also in relation to him, he gets a package informing him that the Arrow Squad terminated their allegiance to Ming. Expected but still GOOD STUFF!

And lastly, holy hotness INDIGO AND DREW!!! Uh, bring on the wolves. Like now.(less)

Max Shannon is a good cop, born with a natural shield, making him one of the best human cops around. He is currently working on a case of a sociopathic killer. He has his perp locked up, but now it’s up to him to find the locations where he buried the bodies so that he can bring them home to their families. But, Max can’t do this alone and Justice-Psy, Sophia, is brought in to try to pull the information from the killer’s mind.

Shortly after Sophia and Max meet, they are both called to San Francisco on another case, to help Psy Councilor, Nikita Duncan, discover who is targeting and killing her associates and to determine if she has a mole in her organization.

J-Psys have a very short life expectancy considering all the horrors they are exposed to while sifting through the minds of others. And, now Sophia has learned she is at the end of her own usefulness. The next time she goes in for rehab will be her last, so she must do everything in her power to make her shields last as long as possible. But she quickly realizes that her new partnership with sexy cop, Max, is not only awakening her body to new sensations, but accelerating the rate of her psychic decline. But she is determined to experience life to it’s fullest before hers is snuffed out for good.

“Take care of my heart won’t you, Sophie? It’s a little odd having it outside my body–but I’m planning to steal yours to make up for it.”

I really don’t know what to say about this book. It’s the second Psy-Changeling book in a row that I’ve read that I really didn’t care for. In Blaze of Memory (book 7), I just didn’t like the lead characters. That is not the case in this book. I didn’t dislike Max and Sophia….although I didn’t really love them either, but I did find myself enjoying the characters by the end of the story. I liked Max from the beginning, but I couldn’t connect with Sophia and I just didn’t get the relationship at all….especially with all this running hot and cold stuff with her wanting to be with him sexually and him stopping it. I understand it was supposed to be a show of sensitivity and how he doesn’t want to harm her, but I found it got old rather quickly. You can only read the same basic gesture so many times before it gets completely dull. Ultimately, I couldn’t connect with Max and Sophia as a couple throughout the majority of the book and I found myself having a hard time focusing on the story and even having to force myself to keep going back to it to finish reading it. Which is really strange for a Nalini Singh book, which I usually gobble up as quickly as I can. Color me disappointed with this installment.

We did get more glimpses of the DarkRiver pack, which was nice. I love seeing Lucas being so protective of Sascha and their unborn cub. And, the few glimpses of Dorian, Clay, and Vaughn were enjoyable as well. Outside of the pack, we also got to see that Nikita isn’t the ice queen that she always appears to be, at least underneath the surface.

I found my favorite part of this book, and one of the few things that I even liked at all, was the ending. It was something I expected, but I really liked seeing come to fruitation.(less)

Max, however, has a very strong natural shield which makes him resistant to Psy manipulation. His career prospects are therefore not spectacular.

Max meets Sophia Russo after he apprehends a serial killer, when her skills are required. Sophia is a J-Psy, the J standing for Justice. Basically, she can delve into people's minds, search them, and locate particular memories, which she can then show to other people. That's pretty handy for nice, pleasant things like, for instance, finding out where a close-mouthed serial killer dumped his victims' bodies. Understandably, J-Psy tend to burn out early, their minds degenerating into madness. Sophia is pretty sure she's close, and refuses to undergo the process known as 'Rehabilitation', which will basically turn her sharp mind into mush.

Max and Sophia meet again when a killer starts targetting a Psy Councilor, and their services are required. Before long, the attraction between them becomes irresistible, but is there any point, when Sophia's increasingly unsteady mind is surely leading her to either Rehabilitation or suicide?

I really enjoyed both Max and Sophia. Max really shows how, even in a world where so many people have paranormal powers that seem to put them at a massive advantage, lowly, normal humans can still hold their own. Sophia is great as well. There isn't a tentative bone in her body. She's in a horrible, heartbreaking position, but she's determined to deal with it in her own way, and to make the best of whatever time she's got left. I really enjoyed their interactions.

The problem is that I'm looking at this book, not in isolation, but having read all the previous entries in the series. One of the things I've liked so much in them is that there didn't seem to be an obvious way out of the seemingly impossible situations Singh put her characters in. But after so many of them, and seeing so many Psy characters be able to get out of the PsyNet and maintain their minds' stability, I know it's perfectly possible to do, even if the characters themselves aren't sure. This made the stakes lower than they might have been, and made the book less than a page-turner.

Still, page-turner or not, this was really enjoyable.

MY GRADE: A B. (less)

The more I read of this series, the more I am starting to put things together, even if it is a little like a jigsaw puzzle. I strongly recommend that those of you choosing to start this series do it from the beginning, and in order, not in the manner in which I have chosen to. However, the stories do work on their own, and the past is explained enough for the reader to piece together the gist of what has happened in the earlier books.

How can this series keep getting better and better?? It seems impossible, but Nalini Singh has the golden touch. An imagination that won’t quit. A writing style that punches you in the gut, wrings your heart out till there’s nothing left, and leaves you nearly as satisfied as you can get. I did say nearly there.

When I realized that her books were changing focus from the Changelings being heroes/heroines, I thought the series would slip some. *snort* Teaches me to try to think ahead. Blaze of Memory and Bonds of Justice are just as good, just as emotional, just as sexy, just as everything as the first books in the series that featured our cats. Of course, still having those sexy, sensual animals appearing throughout these books helps.

What I like most about this new focus is the emotion. It’s much more visceral than the earlier books. I remember sobbing as I read the last quarter of BoM. I didn’t go quite that far this time with BoJ, but there were moments that my stomach dropped, I gasped, and I thought, “Oh, no.” Ms. Singh is becoming a master at pulling those emotions out of readers.

And, further, what I like about that emotional issue is it’s been our heroes who have had to deal with loss and helplessness. To me it’s pure genius the way she’s taken her Psy world and its intricacies a step further to utilize them in such a way to endanger the heroines’ lives, rendering the heroes helpless and willing to do anything to save their loves. Talk about a kick in the gut.

Sophia is a Justice-Psy, one who can enter criminals’ minds to retrieve their crimes and information to help solve them. Her current case is a serial killer who is playing games in giving up the whereabouts of his victims’ final resting places, thus not giving families closure. Over the years Sophia has done her job, all of those memories and nightmares she’s lived through and with will eventually be her destruction, her Psy mind splintering to nothing.

Max is the relentless detective who finally got his man and now is standing aside while this J-Psy tries to bring his case to an end. He’s not the normal human when it comes to the Psy and their mind delving. Max has a natural shield that keeps them out of his head. So when he and Sophia are thrown together to discover who’s trying to kill a Council member, Sophia finds the quietness in Max a blessing. She also finds the man himself very hard to resist.

What I also like in Ms. Singh’s handling of these heroines is the innocence she’s given them when it comes to not only humans, but more when it comes to men and the relationship with them. They’re strong, intelligent women, but that hint of innocence pops up at the most interesting times that result in a smile or a chuckle from me. It’s fascinating to watch them grow in their sensuality. Brilliant.

There’s the usual fascinating Psy Net and all that goes with it. The usual subterfuge among the Council. But this time we have the unusual continuation of Nikita Duncan and her so-called feelings for her daughter, Sascha. And, of course, we get our necessary dosage of the Dark River leopards, which I hope never, ever ends. Though we’re now getting different featured leads, it’s those cats that help make each book what it is.

Just can’t do without those cats.

Bonds of Justice is probably my favorite story to date of the Psy Changeling series. After reading the last two books, I was a bit dissapointed with the stories. However, the story of Max and Sophia Russo was intriguing and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put the book down and I truly enjoyed the intriguing duo. Sophia and Max did great work as partners. And even when I thought I would know how the story would end, based on the last books, the ending caught me completely by surpris...more

Now if you are stumbling across this review, and haven't read the previous books you need to go out and get them ASAP!!

While BoJ may not have as many love scenes as previous books, we all know that we read Singh for her fabulous world building and characters and she does not dissapoint. Max Shannon, the hero is entireley yummy, and call me crazy but I was a teeny bit inspired by Sophia, the heroine. What I liked about Sophia was that she knew she would be rehabilitated soon, and decided to grab life by the horns and experience it. One thing that I worried about prior to the book coming out was that the entire book would be about the lead characters arguing, and this was not the case. It was Max and Sophia together as a unit against the situations in the book, not Max vs Sophia in a cluster.

(Side note: too stupid to live heroines, and angry cold heroines are my pet peeves. I mean why would the writer characterize a lead that you want to die , you know?)

Throughout this book, we see Max open up and fall in love and it is so darn sweet. It is so refreshing to have a couple that just let their love unfurl, rather than run away from it, fight it, and then the reader gets a resolution in the last chapter. That to me cheats us out of the love story! Sophia as a Psy of course goes through a metamorphosis in this book, and it is awesome to have another strong female character in the fight against Silence.

The only irk I have with Singh's books, is that in her names and physical descriptions, she is so cosmopolitan, it's rather distracting. Max Shannon sounds like an Irish name but but he is of Asian descent. Nikita Duncan and Sasha Duncan have flamboyant names and an Irish last name, but Nikita is a tall Japanese looking lady, while Sasha has curly hair. It's almost like a form of visual dissonance almost !That doesn't detract from the story of course, it's just something I've noticed.

All in all, I give this novel 4.5 stars. I can not *wait* for the next installment. Great job having a novella in August to hold us off Nalini! (less)

There are a lot of readers who are more enthusiastic about this series than I am. I'm cautious. Mostly because I was burned by book 7, Blaze of Memory. I tried my hardest to finish that book and I could not. I'll be honest, I would have given up on this series but I'd already bought book 8 & 9 (they were languishing in my TBR pile) and I desperately wanted to read book 10 with Hawke.

Hmmm, I'm a bit torn with this one. I really wanted to love it, but in reality, it feels like an echo of Mine to Possess. I enjoyed the plot, liked the way the story-arc is advancing. It does feel like we're about to reach the culmination of the series and I'm really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I was less entranced by the romance, but not for the usual reasons ^_^;

I actually enjoyed the characters in Bonds of Justice. Did I ever expect Max to get his own story? Not really. Was I excited to read his book? Well the fact that I didn't remember who he was speaks for itself, right? However, he was a solid hero. He's a solid cop, determined and dedicated to his job. I think the fact that he stays in Enforcement knowing that he's less likely to climb up the ladder speaks very loudly and very positively of his personality. His background was interesting and the fact that he wanted to know and find out. As for Sophia, I admired her dedication to her work, bringing justice. I also liked the fact that she went after what she wanted: Max. Unfortunately, she didn't really stand out for me, because I feel she isn't very different than any of the other Psy heroines we got so far.

That's also my crux with the romance in Bonds of Justice. It just doesn't stand out for me. Alpha hero falls in love with a Psy heroine that's on the verge of dying or breaking down. If you've read my blog, you know that I like self-sacrificing heroines... and so I do like this premises.... but how many times have we've seen it in this series? Too many. Also, I had a discussion with Hilcia a few weeks ago concerning how she thought Dev was very changeling-like, the possession, the "mine." I told her it was attributes to alpha-ness. Well in Max case, I thought he felt very changeling and I think it's because his reaction to Sophia was very similar to Lucas, Vaughn and Dorian with their mate. Max was attracted to Sophia, he didn't hide it and he pushed. These are the reasons why I wasn't engaged by the romances... because it feels repetitive. The circumstances and details are different, but the basics are the same :( Although, kudos to Ms Singh for the resolution in this one - that, I didn't see it coming.

Once again, I'm enjoying where Ms Singh is taking us with the world building and the intrigues. She keeps adding new layers to the plot, making it more intricate while the readers keep guessing... Is Kaleb really a good guy? And what's up with the Arrows? What about Nikita? She's one cold Psy, but at the same time, one hard cookie LOL. I previously dismissed her as selfish, but now, I'm having my doubts. We also see the Council divide and this is definitively going to keep the story interesting. I liked the fact that although the main plot was Psy matters, Lucas and Sascha got to play a more important role. They weren't only in the story because Lucas is alpha. I really liked how Sascha's pregnancy was connected to the storyline. Overall, I really enjoyed the storylines, but personally could have done without the last bits with Bonner. I find it hard to believe that the serial killer could escape such a secure facility.

The last few things I'm going to mention are simply thoughts on the series more than on the actual book. I thought Max didn't feel very human, what with his alpha attitude and his natural shields. I understand that has he been different, it'd be a completely different story.... but I'd like to see a genuine, normal, regular human in this series and see how s/he deals with this world. I'm also very happy the next two books are going to feature the SnowDancers. It'll be a good change of pace and will shift the focus a little from the Psy :P

Finally, did anyone pick up on the woman that slipped her card to Max during the sushi take-out pick-up? Keiko Nakamura. For some reasons, her last name rings a bell. Any chance she's a relative of Sascha (giving that her great-grandmother defected...)?(less)

Or, maybe I'd fallen asleep and didn't realize it until I woke up (don't pretend like you've never done that reading before. Wake up to your kindles screensaver). I feel like they were having a bunch of mental conversations that they weren't letting us in on.

Anywho, they meet and the next thing you know they are pining and trying to figure out a way around the silence side effects so that could just hook up already. And they were really blunt about it, too. I get that the Justice Psy (Sophie) shouldn't lie, but man, she just said whatever was on her mind. Made me question if she was ever conditioned! Though, she did do a good job around the other Psy's.

I liked Sophie. She was nice and a teensy bit psycho. She wanted her Maxie and she was prepared to get him. I liked (and was somehow weirded out) by how blunt she was about wanting Max. It was funny. Oh, I know I sound like a hypocrite saying that because usually I'm complaining about the characters not saying what was on their mind. But, you have to read the book to see where I'm coming from! Hahaha. Like the time Max says to her, "... and go sit before I give in to temptation and unbutton your cardigan, put my hands on your beautiful breasts". Hahahaha. What?? Man, I couldn't type that without snickering. See what I mean? I wanted to tell Max to keep those thoughts to himself!

I liked Max. He was cool. Apparently, he gave Dorian a run for his money in the looks department! How crazy is that? Dorian, with his surfer good looks? But he was nice and moral and did what was right. Also, he had his mind set on his woman and he worked to get her, even to his detriment. Secretly, I think I had a grudge against him because he couldn't change. But I think Max was well written and hardcore enough to hang out with the cats.

I loved any cameo by the changelings. Them DarkRiver cats... wow! Don't mess with them and don't even think about messing with the Alpha and his lady!

I think Max and Sophi should definitely consider moving because their building security stinks!

And I'm guessing that in the future, using the phrase, "like so much _______" is pretty popular! We see it in this series quite a bit. My favorites from this one were, "like so much spaghetti" and "like so much paper". Ack!

I liked the look into the councilors. Now I'm not sure where everything is going. Is it wrong for me to want Kaleb to get his own book? He's supposed to be pleasing to the eye as well. Not that that matters, just thought I'd throw that out there... I want to know what's going on with him. Or, at the very least give me a book with a tk-psy. Crazy!

And I loved the epilogue. Probably it'd win the award for the cutest epilogue ever!

Did you see the cover for Hawkes book? Wow. Za!

Ewww, my review kinda sounds like I liked this one, but for most of the book I didn't. It did pick up in the end when things got hardcore and you get to see a Psy get creepy. So cold, so cold! But you know I like 'em a little bad in my books.(less)

I was so surprised by Max Shannon! For some reason I didn't expect to like this human cop as much as I did. Max is attracted to Sophie when he first meets her but not just for her beauty. He appreciates the whole person, understands her abilities and sees through the Psy coldness she attempts to project. I love the way Singh develops this relationship, there is an instant deep attraction but it doesn't translate into "insta-lurv" for humans. Max is hot, hot, hot... but because he cares for Sophie and takes the time to understand her, he's not just passionate, but unselfish and tender as a lover from beginning to end. The man won me over.

I really liked Sophie too. We get to know her when her shields are already severely fractured and she has broken Silence. A damaged and desperate woman with little time left, Sophie is direct with Max when it comes to wants and needs. Max is a direct man himself so there's no game playing in this romance, making Max and Sophie a great couple. Singh uses Sophie's circumstances to build up the sexual tension between the two to a fever pitch, making even a simple touch an erotic experience. Have I mentioned before that I love the way Nalini Singh writes this type of romance? I do.

As in all the Psy/Changeling books, the storylines in Bonds of Justice are multi-layered. As Max and Sophie investigate the murders of Nikita Duncan's advisers, they're also simultaneously following up on the case of a human sociopath, Gerard Bonner. A serial killer already behind bars, Bonner is still quite dangerous. As a character, he is chilling, cold and evil seems to ooze from his pores every time he appears on the page, making him an excellent villain. This is a device previously used by Singh and a bit repetitious, however this time the sociopath is human instead of Psy. I ultimately liked the way this particular thread was dealt with -- Bonner's humanity didn't make him less of a monster or a danger to Max and Sophie.

Secondary characters are well used, as always. Kaleb Krychek is highlighted in this installment and plays an important role. More information about him is disclosed making this character even more intriguing than before. The Psy Council continues to jockey for control and power, and the PsyNet continues to deteriorate and split affecting the Psy as a whole. Changelings play a secondary role with Sascha taking central stage and Faith making key appearances.

The resolution to Sophie's dilemma is interesting, if not surprising, and I do wonder how Singh will use it in the future. There's an underlying theme of bad/good motherhood and hope in this book that I found quite interesting. Not surprising, Singh maintains her tight worldbuilding and introduces some great changes for future installments -- I can't wait to read more about them! Bonds of Justice was a winner for me and keeps the Psy/Changeling series at the top of my paranormal romance list.

“Dorian gave a smug grin. “My mate thinks I‟m the most gorgeous leopard she ever saw.”

“Show us the footage before your head explodes,” Lucas muttered, but his own cat was grinning to see Dorian so happy. The sentinel had been latent most of his life, unable to shift into leopard form. Now that he could, he did so at every opportunity. “Have you managed to catch a rabbit yet?”

A single eloquent finger. “Fuck you.”

Lucas snickered. “What about trying for a turtle?”

Dorian lunged out of the chair and went for Lucas’s throat.” — 58 people liked it
