Nalini does it again!!! Every book in the Psy Changeling trinity arc just keeps getting better! And while I adore all of Nalini's couples, my heart does hold a special place for the Psy Changeling ones. We follow Remi, a leopard Alpha of a new pack who we were introduced to in Shards of Hope and Auden Scott, daughter of former counselors Henry and Shoshanna Scott (aka the bad guys). I was curious about Remi and his pack since then, so I was so excited when I learned that we were going to get his story. And Auden has not really been mentioned at all in the previous books, so she was a new character to be curious about. I absolutely loved the romance between these two. However, I will say that the buildup of the relationship was a little lacking compared to some of the other couples in the series. The main focus of the book was definitely more on the overarching series mystery/arc. And we do get some answers! But there is still plenty of ground left to explore in future books, and I can't wait to see which direction Nalini takes the series in next!

I went into this book, not knowing that it was part of an over all much bigger series. I got a couple chapters in and was just hooked with the way that Singh's writing is, and the world building with the depth of the characters. I went back and read a couple others before jumping back into this one. I now have a new to me author that I will be going back and reading everything I can get my hands on. I enjoyed the characters of Auden and Remi and was in love with the different shifters in this world from the normal shifters that we always see.

Another exceptional novel in the series that effortlessly earns a well-deserved 5-star rating. Set against the picturesque backdrop, the story intricately weaves together themes of love, and self-discovery. Singh’s storytelling prowess shines through, creating a narrative that is both emotionally resonant and utterly captivating

Auden Scott is experiencing worrying blackouts. And more than normal even considering her brain injury. She comes to herself in odd places and without memory of what brought her there. Her mother's team, is very eager to test her lapses... along with a worrying preoccupation with her baby. A baby that she doesn't remember agreeing to have.

Leopard alpha Remi Denier is building his new pack from the ground up, and is determined to protect them and his unlikely allies. Auden Scott has the potential to be the enemy, especially because of her two counselor parents, but his leopard is drawn to her.

Why I started this book: Singh is the best and I jumped at the chance to read her latest ARC.

Why I finished it: See above. Singh has a talent for giving each couple room to grow and explore their own relationship while maintaining the arch of the series and the action happening in the wider world she's created. <spoiler>I'm very interested in seeing the romance discussion around this book, as it felt a little Twilight in the solution.</spoiler> As always, Singh's story is a wonderful ride that leaves me eager for more.
