We will be starting today. Anyone is welcome to join.

Wit forgot how cruel Silence was. The psy world can be so sterile/clinical feeling.

Who is behind this abduction?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Sorry, getting a late start on this! I'll catch up :) I'm looking forward to getting back into this world...and finding out more about Aden.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

No problem. I'm behind on this one too. How are you feeling?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I'm feeling much better :)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I'm glad.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Ziara's parents were sick. What was she suppose to do? I do want her to not see herself as a monster.

Who is Blake?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Who is behind all the abuctions? They are trying to turn all the groups against each other.

I forgot how much I love this series (though the shifters are still my favorites!) I was wondering the same thing...who could be strong enough to trap the Arrows? It has to be another Psy.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

This one started off slow for me, but once the shifters got involved I was all in. Love the shifters!
It has to be another Psy or group of Psy. They also have moles in each organization. It will be interesting to see who is behind all of this. At first I thought Blake was a part of it but then I figured out he was just another sick serial killer.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

All those children abused...makes me sick!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

The Black Sea shifters are interesting. I hope we see more of them.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

This was what I've come to expect from Nalini Singh. Another good read. What will happen next?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I'm about halfway through I think. I agree that the beginning was a bit slow. For me I think it's just because it's dealing with the Psy. I don't find them nearly as interesting as the Changelings. Though...Caleb is still holding my interest. I want to know what his plans are.

I want a baby Jaguar Changeling!!

It's interesting how the Psy "conditioned" their children by doing the exact thing to them they were trying to prevent.

That was my problem too. How cute would a baby jaguar changling be? Love them! To me the interaction of Zaira and JoJo was too cute!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Caleb is interesting but just wait until Aidan shows what he can really do...amazing.

Exactly! It makes no sense. I thought they were the intelligent ones.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Where are you Sheri?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Ummm...they are back in the Net, but it's a lot of Psy stuff so I'm not paying close attention, lol.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Completely understand.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

It does get better.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

It always does :) I finished. You're right that Singh always keeps us wondering. I'm ready for the next book, lol. I really, really hope it is about Remi. I'd love for him to have a book...but if not, as long as it is a Changeling. We've had too many Psy books in a row...though the water changelings are interesting and we don't know much about them yet.

I like how Zaira dealt with the Psy kids and disobedience. Teaching them another way.

And I love that we got a lot of peeks at some of the other people from past books here.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

From Singh's website... KIT!!!

Who will get a story in the future?

I have so many people I want to write about! I can't list them all, because this post would be even longer than it already is, but here are just some characters I think will get either a book or a novella at some point:

The single SnowDancer lieutenants, Desiree from DarkRiver, Adam - the leader of WindHaven, one or more of the sea changelings, certain Psy characters it'd be too spoilerish to name here, Kit when he's a bit more grown up, Rina, Bowen from the Human Alliance... (and more!)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I would love a Kit book. Remi would be good too. I definitely want to know more about the sea changelings! Zaira did well with the Psy kids. She was able to relate to them. What did you think of Aidan's ability?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for :) There's a reason Aden is the leader of the Arrows. I love the idea that his ability is sort of a "passive" ability when compared to other Psy who have so much obvious power. You know what the others can do and what to expect from them, but his is not as flashy but way more powerful.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Totally! His ability requires help from a team and was a big surprise...for the reader and his enemies. Love that!
