I am becoming obsessed with this series! In a little over 2 days I have read:
I thought I would be bored with all the Changeling Alpha-ness but each character is different enough that it works. And when I saw that the next book takes us away from the packs I was even a little disappointed lol. Though as much as I love the Changelings, Judd might still be my favorite :)
I want to race through the series and see more secrets revealed - who is the Ghost, what's with all the councilors and their hidden agendas, what is an X-Psy?! Too many questions.
Oh, and I just read a few of the shorts, the Rats have piqued my interest. I want to see more of them in the future.
Yes, that's obsession in a good way Vivian :DAll those questions and more!!
Keep reading it only gets better! Some of your questions get answered but many more crop up and keep the reading fresh and leave you wanting more. Enjoy!
I've been trying to curb my obsession/addiction by rereading from book 1. I started at the beginning of the year and am currently in the middle of
. It's not working. All that Psy-Changeling goodness just makes me that much more eager for June 2 and
. 1 week and counting!

Nalini's website has been updated. Looks great! If you're not subscribing to her newsletter (why not?!) and have missed out on her free shorts each month, you can catch up on them (most, if not all) here: http://nalinisingh.com/extras/free-sh...
That was really good Midu, thanks for posting :D
I totally agree with her break up of types of series, and I'm glad she reads the In Death series as well :)
And the previously awesome Kate Daniels
Midu wrote: "And the previously awesome Kate Daniels"Well, that goes without saying. LOL
Question: Finn is the healer who visited the DR pack in "Beat of Temptation", correct? BoT(view spoiler)
I must be in a minority...the new cover doesn't do much for me at all...
I think its the comparison to the old cover. Its just better than the original, but not as good as a lot of new books out there now. At least that's what I think :)
I think I waited a whole week to start
after finishing
and it felt like forever. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm all caught up lol. Sooo super excited for this story, love the Arrows! (view spoiler) As interesting as the Psy drama has been, I do miss the Changelings a bit. Hope to see more of them in this story.
I read Shards of Hope last week and it was amazing! We do see and hear about quite a few of the characters from previous books so it's a great round off for this story arc.Anyone who isn't caught up yet, you have a great ride ahead :D
Great ride indeed! Now just dying for the next one....sob.
Has anyone checked out Nalini's revamped website? It's awesome! I love all the new features on the series pages with the cool drop menus and international cover art.
Looks cool, I tend to just read the newsletter she sends and not visit the website. Now we just need Mr Randomizer to pick a shelf that a certain new release *cough* Archangel's Enigma *cough* will fit...
I think so too! Yeah me too, I love her newsletters, she's so generous with her free shorts. I just popped over to the website for ... I can't remember what and was thinking WOW, Nice! :DI know, I know. I've been thinking of ways to bribe Mr. R all day! ;)
Oh, I hope that works out, cause that's the one I want to read as well. Ms Mailperson delivered it on Monday and its now Wednesday, my time! Hoping ... hoping ... hoping ....
Fingers crossed....
In Nalini's November newsletter she included the blurb for Allegiance of Honor (due out 14 Jun 2016):The “unparalleled romantic adventure”* of Nalini Singh’s New York Times bestselling series continues as a new dawn begins for the Psy-Changeling world...She also noted: This is my ensemble cast book, where certain long-standing questions are answered, and we get to find out what's happening with all the main characters from previous books and novellas even as the Psy-Changeling storyline continues! Because you know nothing in this volatile world ever stands still...
The Psy-Changeling world has undergone a staggering transformation and now stands at a crossroads. The Trinity Accord promises a new era of cooperation between disparate races and groups. It is a beacon of hope held together by many hands: Old enemies. New allies. Wary loners.
But a century of distrust and suspicion can’t be so easily forgotten and threatens to shatter Trinity from within at any moment. As rival members vie for dominance, chaos and evil gather in the shadows and a kidnapped woman’s cry for help washes up in San Francisco, while the Consortium turns its murderous gaze toward a child who is the embodiment of change, of love, of piercing hope: A child who is both Psy…and changeling.
To find the lost, protect the vulnerable—and save Trinity—no one can stand alone. This is a time of loyalty across divisions, of bonds woven into the heart and the soul, of heroes known and unknown standing back to back and holding the line. But is an allegiance of honor even possible with traitors lurking in their midst?
Oh lovely, I like catching up with old favourites.
Nalini will be releasing another Psy anthology @ 23 Aug 2016: Wild Embrace. And, someone may have posted something similar to this in the past, but still happy to see/hear her say it! :DWhen will the series end forever?
When I feel there are no more stories to be told in this world. I know everyone has their favorites, books/novellas that worked better for them than others, but as a writer, I am deeply happy with all of the entries in the series to date.
I feel each was needed, was necessary to tell part of the story, to give us a new insight into the world and its characters. I want to feel the same way about future entries, so when I come to a place where I feel the story is complete, and all the characters are in a good place, that's when I'll say good-bye.
I am nowhere close to that point, and I hope neither are you. Here's to many more journeys together into the Psy-Changeling world!
Yay!!!!
That's news that makes me very, very ,very happy!
Shards of Hope is in the final round of DABWAHA 2016...if you have time...vote :)...and down at the moment.http://dabwaha.com/2016/04/04/champio...
I voted .... Shards is in the lead. Yay!
Hooray! Came on this morning to check.... Happiness!
Update from Nalini's latest newsletter (RE: next book, Silver Silence - 15 Jun 2017 - Psy-Changeling #16, Psy-Changeling Trinity #1) SILVER SILENCE
A Psy-Changeling Trinity Novel
Why the series title change?
As I started to think about Silver Silence, I realized it would be a very good entry point into the series. We're going to be meeting new characters, seeing a new part of the Psy-Changeling world.
The series title change means Silver Silence will be listed as book 1 of the Psy-Changeling Trinity series rather than book 16 of the Psy-Changeling series.
This'll also make it easier for things like my website, so the book lists can be neatly separated out. Right now, the series list is in danger of falling off the page on the main menu!
If I've read the entire Psy-Changeling series, will this feel like a continuation?
Yes. While Silver Silence is a great intro into the series, if you're already familiar with the world, then you'll see deeper layers of meaning within each story. And of course, you'll come into it with a lot of knowledge about all the events that have led up to this point.
Does this mean all the books will be about the Trinity Accord?
No. In fact, the Trinity Accord plays only a minor role in Silver Silence.
The reason for choosing Psy-Changeling Trinity as the series title is that in my head, this is the Trinity arc, while season one was the Silence arc. It doesn't mean everything focuses around Trinity - it just represents this new phase in the Psy-Changeling world.
Does the new series arc mean we're leaving the previous characters totally behind?
No. We will be meeting new characters and going into new territories, but this is a living, breathing world, so people's paths do cross.
Also, we'll be circling back to some previous characters who haven't had their stories yet.
If I haven't read a single Psy-Changeling story, will I understand Silver Silence?
Absolutely. And hopefully, it'll tempt you to go back and catch up on season one!
Will my favorite characters appear?
If they're necessary to the story. Given the sprawling cast, not everyone can return. Allegiance of Honor was a soft goodbye to some characters - I say soft because if they have a natural part to play in a particular storyline in the future, you'll see them again.
How many books will be in season two?
I never know how many books it'll take to complete a story arc so I can't give you a number, but I have plans for plenty more Psy-Changeling goodness!
Who is the hero of Silver Silence?
I recently turned in the first few chapters of the book to my editor and she loved it, so we should have a blurb soonish. Until then, I'll tell you that Silver's hero is most unexpected. I certainly wasn't expecting him to knock on Silver's door at seven in the morning like he had every right to be there. Once again, I learn never to predict what my characters will do!
Tell me more!
I've almost completed the first draft of the book. This doesn't mean it's finished. I do multiple drafts - my first drafts are the skeleton, with more layers going on draft by draft. Right now, I've been focusing mostly on the romance.
Silver and her hero are unlike any other pairing in the series to date.
:) Damn I read this the other day. I should've thought to post it *slaps naughty hand*

Excellent Steph :)
Sweet story! Thanks for posting it Steph
Oh that story was too cute! I miss this series!
Nalini has an interview in Entertainment Weekly, Nalini Singh on why her Psy-Changeling series should be your summer book binge :D
Is it weird that I was just talking about this being my next binge-read in a different group?? ::eerie::
LOL! She sent that to you telepathically. ;)
