What primarily drew me to these books were the characters. Singh did an amazing job creating distinct characters and relationships in each book as well as developing the world as the series progressed, so I think these could easily be binged if you’re up for it. I think taking it slow is probably still the right move for me as I wouldn’t have liked reading so many books from the same genre in a row, but I didn’t feel like these books were too repetitive or interchangeable. It took a lot of willpower not to race through the entire series, but I made myself take breaks after a few books so that I wouldn’t burn out on them like I started to with Maisey Yates’ books last fall. I was not prepared to become quite so hooked! But Jenica at Firewhiskey Reader is such a fan and we like a lot of the same things, plus I know Slave to Sensation is a classic of the romance genre, so I decided to give them a try. And thank god I didn’t realize how many books were in the series or I might never have committed. I’ll admit, I was pretty reluctant to start these books because they just don’t sound like something I’d enjoy, and I think the covers are awful. As the series progresses, though, we start to realize that there are serious problems with Silence and that it’s starting to kill the PsyNet, the psychic network to which all Psy are connected and that gives them the biofeedback they need to survive, creating a dangerous backdrop for the other couples we’re introduced to as the series progresses and the world expands. The daughter of a high-ranking Psy official, she’s introduced to the alpha of the local leopard pack through a proposed business venture, but their relationship evolves as the two of them work to track down a Psy who’s murdering changeling women.

The series opens with one Psy, Sasha, knowing that her Silence is flawed and trying desperately to hide the fact that she can acutely feel emotion. In an effort to combat a rise in violent tendencies in their population, the Psy decided 100 years before the series is set to undertake something called Silence in which they train children to be coldly logical and feel no emotion. I got completely hooked too! So of course I had to review the series after making it through all 15 books!įor those who aren’t familiar, the Psy/Changeling series is an iconic paranormal romance series following various couples in the Psy/Changeling world, an urban fantasy world comprising three races: the Psy, known for their mental superpowers the Changelings, who can shapeshift into various animals and humans, who are widely considered the weakest race. But when I saw Jenica absolutely fly through Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series, I had to give it a shot. I love romance, but paranormal romance isn’t the subgenre I normally gravitate towards (historicals for life!).
