Vi I finished it! Loved it too!!

Oh, I think Vasic would definitely be having a story soon. Though, now I'm wondering who will the next couple be? DarkRiver & SnowLeopard are mostly done so will she concentrating on the arrows?

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments OMG I found something exciting.
Have you read Stroke of Enticement #3.5 (Zack and Annie)? it's about a teacher who's been in a train wreck when she was a child and a young Psy boy lifted up the wreckage off her. Kaleb just told Sahara he once did that.

Vi Thank you! I was thinking about that - where did I come across that?! YES, you are RIGHT.

I think the next story will be Xavier, he's about to leave to go look for his Nina. But I agree, Vasic's is coming soon.

Vi Ooh, you could be correct. We don't really know Xavier that much even though he's appeared so much times. Interesting.

So Xavier is Human, right?

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm at the part where Anthony is suggesting sending Sahara to Faith and it dawned on me - the whole NightStar clan isn't totally immersed in Silence. At least it seems that way from the ones we've met.

Ever since Faith's book I've though that Anthony isn't Silent. His advice to Sahara is to learn to fake, that's what I think he does. And Leon isn't either, you can tell he cares about his daughter.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I love details and this book was full of details . There were thing in this book that were set up from the second book where we saw kaleb for the first time. I love it that NS knew where she was going with her series from the beginning. I could remember a few things that were in the previous books like the train wreck the brand but not all of them .I found this Theories on Kaleb Krychek.
I'm really in awe of NS writing.
I read some other author with long series and they are full of mistakes but I have not found one inconsistency in this series .

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I think I'm going to reread the whole series just to read the thing that would come to pass in the later books.

Did you miss the changelings?
Do you think there will more challenging books?
or do you think the next book is about the arrows paired with a challenging ?

Mellie (mellie42) I have done nothing all day except lay on the sofa and read this. Wow what a ride! Loved every minute.

But I do miss the changelings. I have a bit of a crush on Kit, would love to see him come out from Lucas' shadow & make his mark on some lucky gal ;)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Started reading yesterday and am on chapter 5. It has taken me this long to realize/understand that this is (view spoiler), which means that my guess as to the hero was wrong although my guess of the heroine was spot on. This also means that (view spoiler).

I didn't know whose book it was but the moment I read the first word (Kaleb)I knew it's going to be his book.

Lauren (laurenjberman) ***Spoilers up to Chapter 18***

Enjoying the slow build up of chemistry and tension between Sahara and Kaleb. Kaleb is definitely shaping up as one of my favorites alongside Judd and Hawke. I have such a soft spot for the sexy, dark and tortured.

Nevertheless, the pacing is quite slow and there are a lot of hints and innuendo without getting to the actual details of what happened to Kaleb when he was under Enrique's "tutelage" and how he and Sahara actually met.

I love the charm bracelet though and how each of the charms has significance to both Kaleb and Sahara even though she is having a hard time remembering.

(view spoiler) has taken a back seat in the previous books so it is interesting to have her as the villain in this one. Since Ming is usually the one with the nasty manipulation and torture of Psy with tremendous powers (Sienna), I thought he would be the one who had imprisoned Sahara.

Can't wait to find out who the Ghost is.

I love the charm bracelet scenes too! You'll find out how they met later on :)

Lauren (laurenjberman) ***Spoilers up to Chapter 30***

Looks like Sahara is slowly getting her memory back. I can't help wondering whats going to happen when she remembers whatever it is that Kaleb is so afraid of. He seems to have built it up in his mind as something really huge and maybe its not as bad as he thinks it is. Of course, knowing Singh, it probably is.

I was not at all surprised to learn that (view spoiler)

The only problem I'm having with the book is that there is not enough page time with the Changelings. They have been such an integral part of the series up till now and aside for a glimpse or two into (view spoiler) they are taking a back seat, at least so far.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments About your first spoiler, I thought it could be that way but when I got to it I was surprised!

I missed them too,they make the books lively and colorful! I think we're done with the changelings for now..a few more Psy books


message 200: by Lauren (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished it last night and enjoyed it overall, especially the romance.

The revelation of the Ghost's identity was somewhat anti-climactic. I always though and hoped it would be (view spoiler) but somehow convinced myself after Nalini's Q&A and other people's comments, that it wouldn't be him and then it turned out that it was - so the tension kind of got lost in the mix.

Can't wait to see whose book is next. I agree, ShoSho, that Singh is setting them up as Psy books, especially now that (view spoiler)
