Review: Primal Mirror (Psy-Changeling Trinity #8) by Nalini Singh
Primal Mirror by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 23, 2024, by Berkley Review by Melanie A personal note before I start this review: the entire reason I ever picked up a Psy-Changeling book to begin with is because of my friend and former Smexy reviewer, Melinda, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She adored Nalini’s books and was rightfully convinced that I would love the Psy-Changeling series despite my claims that I just didn’t think PNR was for me. To appease her, I picked up Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Lineage by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Lineage by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #16PNR/Fantasy RomanceApril 23, 2024 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I was so happy to get back to where it all started--with Elena and Raphael. I still vividly remember the first book, where they met, fell in love, and that scene when Raphael fell with Elena in his arms. Giving her a renewed life, one as consort at his side. A decade has passed since the great upheaval and war with the evil archangel who will not be named. The world Continue Reading
Review: Resonance Surge (Psy-Changeling Trinity #7) by Nalini Singh
Resonance Surge by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance July 18, 2023, by Berkley Review by Melanie The newest addition to Nalini Singh’s long-running Psy-Changeling Trinity series is less of a banger and more of a slow burn. A very, VERY slow burn, to be precise. In fact, it took me several days to finish this book and while I wouldn’t say I was bored exactly, I can’t really say I was riveted either. It was fine for the most part, with the action picking up steam (not THAT kind of steam) in Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Resurrection by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Resurrection by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #15PNR/Fantasy RomanceOctober 25, 2022, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela If I'm being completely honest I had mixed feelings about this book when the blurb was released. On the one hand, I wasn't thrilled that readers wouldn't be getting an update on the Bluebell/Sparkle romance. I DO think we will see them again in another book devoted to their developing relationship, but I really wanted it now. On the other hand, I was just a Continue Reading
Review: Storm Echo (Psy-Changeling Trinity #6) by Nalini Singh
Storm Echo by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceAugust 9, 2022, by BerkleyARCReview by Melinda and Melanie Melanie: Melinda and I were super excited to get to read an ARC of this book together months before it was released. We’re obviously huge fans of Nalini Singh as well as the series as a whole. However, that being said, this was not our favorite book in this series, not even close. But look, it’s the 6th book in the spin off series, Psy-Changeling Trinity and if you count the original Continue Reading
Review: Kiss Hard by Nalini Singh
Kiss Hard by Nalini SinghHard Play #4Contemporary RomanceMay 3, 2022, by TKA Distribution Review by Melanie Well, this was a delightful surprise from one of my very favorite authors, an unexpected contemporary romance announced less than a month prior to its release. Fun fact: I actually discovered Nalini through her contemporaries first! Back when I was under the misguided impression that PNR wasn’t really my jam, I started reading her contemporaries and immediately fell in love with Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Kiss of Snow
Melanie: I’m just going to be upfront - this deep-dive will probably be the longest one yet because once again, SO MUCH happens in this book but also, it’s Kiss of Snow (!!!) and neither Melinda nor I have made any secret of the fact that we absolutely adore this book. That’s not to say we’re ignorant about all of the many (MANY) consent issues found within but it’s a good thing we decided to read this book at the beginning of the month because we have a LOT to say. (Also, who’re we kidding, Continue Reading
Smexy Group Review: Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Light by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #14Paranormal Romance10/26/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela, Melinda, and Melanie Angela: I remember a couple of years ago when Bluebell and Sparkle started having their spats and disagreements and there seemed to be something afoot with their relationship. Like this author was setting something up for later in the series for them to have this big, wonderful romance and I can tell you right now I was HERE FOR IT. Every review after that Continue Reading
Smexy’s October TBR
Angela- It's October! Yay! I'm so ready for fall weather and end-of-the-year releases. Also, I'm gearing up for all the best of and favorite lists. I have a few books I'm excited for this month (a couple I've already read, but want to make sure they are on your radar). The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller 10/12 Historical Romance- I've been looking forward to a new Diana Biller since the moment I finished The Widow of Rose House. I hear this one is quite emotional and I'm here for Continue Reading
