******** 4 1/2 stars ***********

Blaze of Memory tells the story of Devraj Santos, the director of Shine, and Katya, a damaged Psy with amnesia. Ekaterina, aka Katya, is dropped off at the headquarters of Shine unconscious, starved and abused. She doesn't remember who she is or what happened to her except in nightmares she can't remember upon waking. Dev knows she is probably a Trojan horse sent by the Psy to infiltrate Shine, which is the front of the Forgotten who are the descendents of the Psy...more

There are not enough words to express how much I enjoyed this book. I loved everything about this one. I must say that Nalini Singh is a master in paranormal romance. Every book she writes is outstanding. Her writing skills are over the top. And this world she has created keeps surprising me more with each book.

In this book we get another point of view over the psy's world, the develop of the forgotten's story. I must admit that I though I would not be thrilled with this book because I heard tha...more

★★★★½ For those of you who know me, you realize I’m a big sucker for amnesia storylines. As I am a nurse, I realize how implausible they are; nevertheless, I still love to roll my eyes and laugh over them. However, this one is a bit different because Ms. Singh has set it in the fantastic futuristic world of her Psy-changeling series.

The amnesia is no laughing matter; Ekaterina – or Katya – was presumed dead in the Nebraska lab explosion ordered by Ming LeB...more

In Singh's futuristic world, people have evolved into beings with special talents. The changelings are shifters and the Psy are a race of people with enhanced abilities.

Blaze of Memory delves deeper into the group of people known as The Forgotten- Psys who dropped out of the Silence Protocol long ago when it was first enacted.

Sensing the excising of emotions from the Psy, which The Silence Protocol did to perfection, would lead to ruin- The Forgotten has formed its own culture and leadership an...more

I've read the entire series, and this was an unique addition. The author does a great job coming up with highly original storylines and adding to the Psy Changeling world to keep the series fresh. The main characters were different from what we've seen in the past. Instead of a changeling and psy coming together, we saw the interaction between the head of Shine, representing the Forgotten (former psy that are not Silent), and a 'broken' Psy.

This is one of those books that picks you up and throw...more

Blaze of Memory is seventh book in Nalini Singh’s highly popular Psy-Changelings series. The character highlighted in this story is Devraj Santos who was first introduced in Mine to Possess (book 4). Dev runs the Shine Foundation, a type of shelter for children known as the Forgotten. These children are human but have Psy abilities. Dev is one of these Forgotten. He tries to not let his emotions run away from him and can be very cold and meticulous. If Dev wanted to, he could become a killer, bu...more

I couldn't resist, I had to continue with my Psy-Changling journey. I love Dev from when I had met him before and I continued to love him in this story. This one was a bit more emotional to me then some of the others. Because we really got to feel his and Kataya's romance and saw them fall in love. What happened in the end was that much more emotional. I just get so wrapped up in Nalini's world, I just want to keep reading until I have read them all. What is even more intriguing who is up for a...more

First of all, let me say how much I love this series, 'cause seriously, I adore it.

Blaze of memory tells the story of Dev, the enigmatic director of Shine Foundation, the group that protects the forgotten Psy, and Katya, the former assistant of Ashaya (Hostage to Pleasure) who was captured by a member of the council and tortured nearly to death, and might or not, be the ultimate weapon of the Silent Psy against the Forgotten, even she can’t remember what kind of damage did they programmed her to...more

There is so much I could say about this addition to Singh's psy-changeling series. I went from being underwhelmed halfway through this book to being completely overwhelmed at the end. Blaze of Memory wrecked me. Throughout the first half of the book I found myself skimming through parts, waiting for something to actually happen. It seemed like there was chapter after chapter of build-up with nothing really *happening*. As usual in the psy-changeling books, I had to gloss over some of the main pa...more

This was a good story, although not that much connected to the rest of the series.

Katya was abducted and tortured by the most vicious member of the Council, than left on the doorstep of Dev Santos, the director of Shine. What they both don't know is that she is psycologically programmed to kill Dev, and then commit suicide.

Other than that, there was not a lot of story in this book, mostly them talking, or Katya trying to escape, or them having sex XD It would have 3 stars from me, if not for th...more

“Will the PsyNet one day turn dark, our minds cold, isolated stars?
I don’t know. And it terrifies me.”


In this book we have the first couple without Changelings. The heroes are Devraj Santos, leader of the Forgotten, introduced in Mine to Possess and Katya (Ekaterina), Ashaya’s ex assistant.

The Forgotten are the descendants of the Psys who defected from the PsyNet when Silence Protocol was implemented. Over the last century they continued to mingle with Humans and Changelings and their powers ev...more

I was so prepared to like this book, I have loved all the other books in the series and they have all gotten 5 stars, so when I was told that this wasn't as good as the others and I might not like it, I shrugged it off and dived in anyways. Sadly, they were right. Although it wasn't really bad it also wasn't as good as the other books.

This book is about Devraj Santos, the Director of Shine, the charity/coporation that hides all the Fogotten, the Psy that defected when Silence was first introduce...more

After the slightly iffy sixth installation in this series, we have yet another winner with Dev and Katya's story. I admit at my slight reluctance at reading this one - Dev wasn't on my list of heroes who immediately needed their story told in this series, but I'm more than happy with how things turned out. For him and for Katya.

She might've appeared weak and fragile, but she truly had a wall of steel inside her (maybe that's what drew Dev to her *wink wink*), but luckily she didn't have a bitchy...more

Não estava à espera de gostar tanto deste livro, quando vi quem seriam os protagonistas pensei logo mais um livro desta série que não vou "achar muita piada".
Mas para minha surpresa aconteceu precisamente o contrário, fiquei imediatamente "agarrada" a este livro e só queria ler mais sobre o Dev e a Katya e o seu relacionamento mas também os aspectos referentes a quem eram como pessoas e sua importância no mundo criado por Nalini.
O relacionamento entre ambos foi, na minha opinião, muito bem tra...more

This is the one book of the series I find hardest to give a rating and review. On one hand, this is not the smoothest text (especially in the beginning of story). There are points where it stuttered to the point that I had to reread sections, more than once, to make sure I understood. Really, the transitions could have been pieced together better by the Editor. However, this book really takes you on a sweet ride and it’s exhausting…in a good way. The last 100 pages of this novel will leave you s...more

I've been reading all of the Psy/Changeling series, and it has really begun to bug me how EXACTLY THE SAME each couple is, the guy is always over-protective, and the girl is fine with that, even the tough girls act the same! This book is where it really began to bug me more, Dev isn't even a changeling male, at least before that all the guys had grown up in the same/similar culture, but now here's a man of The Forgotten acting as over-protective as the leopards! AND all the couples have the same...more

This book really didn't do it for me. It hit all the buttons in my "god, I want to throw this book very, very far" mind.

I really do *love* this series but this has to be the worst book in it thus far. It's just ...

Dev is the director of a special group whom look for Psy descendants after they left the net. Since humans have no psychic powers, most of these kids aren't taught how to control their gifts and/or end up in insane asylums or worse, and Dev is very dedicated to the cause.

Katya is found...more

This review is from: Bonds of Justice: The Psy-Changeling Series (Kindle Edition)
It has taken me a week to read through the first nine books in the psy-changeling series and while I am enthralled by Nalini Singh's intriguing world I am continually frustrated by her utter lack of ability at characterisation. Every single story is the same romantic entanglement between an abused, fragile-looking woman with 'a spine of pure steel' and an 'over- protective, dominant', but somehow flawed male. It's g...more
Deirdre
The ending was a little deus-ex-machina but knowing Singh there will be consequences for this later. Nothing is ever straightforward and ignorable.

Katya is almost presented to Dev on a plate, she's amnesiac and troubled, her mind is a mess and her shielding is almost impenetrable, however they both have a feeling that there's something wrong. Dev feels a need to help her, even if it should hurt him.

Katya is hurting, unsure of her sanity she's trying hard to deal with everything that's happenin...more

A review by Kati Dancy
Publisher: Berkley
Release Date: November 3, 2009
4.25 stars of 5

Regular readers of Nalini Singh’s marvelous Psy-Changeling series might remember Dev Santos. He was an ancillary character in Singh’s fifth book, Hostage to Pleasure. So, when Nalini announced that Blaze of Memory would be about Dev finding his love, I was stymied. Why on earth would she write about Dev when there are so many Psy (Kaleb, anyone?) or Changeling (Hawke, Hawke, Hawke,...more
Jilly
Dev and Katya's story is so wonderful. My only complaint is that because Dev is the director of Shine that we are a bit removed from the Changelings we've grown to love in the beginning of this series. Singh kind of takes us out of their world and submerges us more into the Psy world and the world of The Forgotten. The Forgotten are those Psy individuals that decided not to submit to Silence in 1970 when the Council implemented it. They went Rogue and with their emotions intact began intermarryi...more

I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted t...more
