Cuando una joven Psi aparece brutalmente torturada e inconsciente frente a la sede de la Fundación Shine, su director Devraj Santos sabe el peligro que esto supone, puesto que probablemente sea una infiltrada del Consejo Psi con una misión: liquidarle. Aunque finalmente la chica despierta víctima de una profunda amnesia, Dev recurre a algunos de sus aliados para averiguar su identidad. Su nombre es Ekaterina Haas y su mente ha sido poseída por un enemigo muy poderoso. Aún así, Dev, que es incapaz de resistirse a la fascinación que despierta en él esa mujer inteligente, atractiva, y a la vez valiente y vulnerable, decide protegerla. Ekaterina, por su parte, repudia su vida anterior y adopta el nombre de Katya. Sin embargo, a medida que va recuperando la memoria, van reapareciendo en su mente las órdenes asesinas que le han sido implantadas. Mientras lucha contra la locura que amenaza con subyugarla, se da cuenta que los sentimientos que se gestan entre ella y su protector son cada vez más intensos... y que ambos tienen los días contados. My twin sister has been telling me to read this series for years and despite liking the other Nalini Singh's I had read I never got around to reading it. After reading these books I can't imagine why I hesitated to read them ; they are really good. The story is fresh and original, the writing style is engaging and the characters are so well written that you truly get invested in their lives. I have enjoyed all the books in this series psy, changeling and human as they are all fascinating in their own way. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Är det här du? |
In this book, it takes ages, and it disgusts me. The female main character, Katya, has been brutalized and has had some REALLY bad experiences with being locked up. And the male main character, Dev, keeps her prisoner. The justification is nowhere near good enough. There would have been ways around the problem, and even if there was a risk in helping her, it would have been easy enough to involve Katya in the decision making, instead of forcing her. She is a reasonable woman and obviously a good-hearted one, she would have complied with what was necessary. Dev was very well aware that she was not to blame for what happened to her.
So, no excuse for locking her up, and definitely no excuse for making a move on her when she is your prisoner, and the power balance is so far off to be almost non-existent.
Aside from all that, I really saw nothing appealing in Dev's character, not even when he turned around after half the book. Also, at least the main characters in the other books had an excuse for acting Neanderthal, if not a good one, since they were half animal, but Dev really doesn't.
Then there were the letters of someone who lived through the period when Silence started. They were boring and didn't add anything to the story. I already feel that the books are starting to splinter more, with little intermezzo's of side characters, and the stupid letters weren't helping.
And finally, there were nowhere near enough changelings in a book that belongs to the psy-changeling series. There was a psy and a forgotten, and I find the forgotten to be boring. The only character that appealed to me was Dev's grandmother, and she has a very small role.
So, I would give this one a pass. ( )
