Lucas looked across at the icy perfection of Sascha Duncan and wished he knew what it was about her that was bugging the hell out of him.

Sudden head-hop here. It's a little jarring tbh. We'll see how it plays out. Maybe this is third-person omniscient.

What she couldn’t figure out was whether it was because he was trying to charm her or because he was lying.
K.M. Mayville

But there was something different about this one, something he wanted to sink his teeth into.

Thematically, it would have more impact if she wasn't "flawed".

The aim of the training had been to teach her how to exploit changeling and human weaknesses, but she’d used the information to mask her own flaw.

“Our world is harsh.” Especially with the Psy in charge. Without changeling heart and human spirit, the world would’ve been hell.
K.M. Mayville
The romance is a little off-kilter and there's a huge cast of characters, but I actually really like the world in the backdrop. I hope it gets developed more.

“Oh, and the autopsies showed that their minds were literally mush though their skulls hadn’t been damaged. Who can do that aside from the Psy, Sascha? Who?”
K.M. Mayville
Oh, that would have been nice to know 20 pages ago.

It was a mass of data and the only controlling factor was the influence of the NetMind, which tried to make order from chaos. An entity that had evolved into its own separate sentience, it wasn’t alive but it thought in a way that took it beyond mere machinery.

I wish stuff like this was mentioned MUCH earlier.

“Don’t let me down. Brenna’s been gone over thirty-six hours already. The single reason I’m letting you run this is because you have a head start. If DarkRiver fails, we take over.” “DarkRiver doesn’t have a habit of failing.”

He was the most perfect product of Silence.
K.M. Mayville
It's been a while since this was mentioned. Maybe the Netmind and it are one and the same: the lost sum of Psy emotion... still governing them from the dark.

The panther was so close to the surface his voice had dropped several octaves.

What.
