The Psy/Changeling Channel: Novellas Part 1

July 16, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

This month, we bring you not one but TWO Psy/Changeling deep dives. This first one will focus on a few of the Psy/Changeling novellas. We’re trying to schedule them so that the novellas don’t spoil anything we haven’t covered in any of the regular deep dives yet. This deep dive will cover 3 novellas: Beat of Temptation, Whispers of Sin, and Stroke of Enticement, which all focus on DarkRiver Changelings. Later in the month, we’ll resume our usual Psy/Changeling deep dive with Psy/Changeling book Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Branded by Fire

June 25, 2021 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Melinda: We’re excited to be back and once again have a new dynamic to examine with two alpha changelings in a mated pair with Mercy and Riley. But first we need to give a content warning for suicide of secondary characters. We don't actually touch on that in our deep dive, but this book does have that in the plot so if that bothers you please take care of yourself and skip either all of this book or at least those parts. So we start out with Mercy, immediately being extremely horny and I Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Hostage to Pleasure

May 21, 2021 by Melanie 1 Comment

A quick note before we delve into this month’s deep dive for Hostage to Pleasure. We’ve going to start incorporating Nalini’s Psy-Changeling novellas into our monthly reads and recaps. They may not happen every month but we’ll be adding them in when appropriate. Since this month’s read focused on the relationship between Dorian and Ashaya, we also read the novella Dorian, which can be found in the Psy-Changeling collection, Wild Embrace.  Melanie: I know we say this a lot in our deep Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Mine to Possess

April 23, 2021 by Melinda 5 Comments

Before we dive into this month’s Psy-Changeling recap, a quick note: this month’s book features a character who as a child was abused by her foster father. The abuse is in the past and mostly off-page with a little bit of recalling things that happened in the past. There’s also a secondary character who is abused on the page. We want to make sure if you’re following along with us and haven’t read these books yet, that you be made aware of anything that may trigger you.  Melanie: That Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Caressed by Ice

March 19, 2021 by Melanie 1 Comment

Melinda: We’re back with a completely new dynamic to explore this time around with Caressed by Ice and I know that we’ve both been really excited to get into this one! The first two books of the series featured male alpha changelings with female Psy but this time we get Judd, an emotionally closed off Psy, and Brenna, a volatile and strong changeling woman. I would not have described either of these two as gentle or easygoing...and yet. Melanie: Judd!!!! I remember loving this book back when Continue Reading

Review: Quiet in Her Bones by Nalini Singh

March 11, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Quiet in Her Bones by Nalini SinghMystery/SuspenseFebruary 23, 2021 by Berkley Review by Angela I love this author in all her many genre forms. From contemporary romance to PNR to urban fantasy romance, and now it appears I fallen for her mystery/suspense voice. As much as I enjoyed A Madness of Sunshine, I do believe I liked Quiet in Her Bones even more. This is an ambling, suspenseful book, quiet in its own way, as it's laying out all the potential suspects, introducing the Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Visions of Heat

February 12, 2021 by Melanie 11 Comments

Melinda: Phew, right out of the gate there is so much to talk about with this one and consent because touch and lack of consent is intrinsic to Faith's story. But I don't know that it could be told differently and still be the same story? Melanie: Wow, what a difference 2 years makes! I read this book for the first time almost exactly 2 years ago and while I didn’t love it as much as I loved the first book of the series even back then, I definitely think rereading it for a second time raised Continue Reading

Smexy’s February TBR

February 5, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Angela: I have so many books to read this month. So. Many. And I think they are all historical romance for some reason. There are like seven million historical romance books coming out on the 9th. Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins Historical Romance 2/9- Y'all Ms. Bev is an auto-read for me and I've been putting this off so I have it to look forward to. The Duke Heist (The Wild Wynchesters #1) by Erica Ridley Historical Romance 2/9- I was drawn in by the cover and then I Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Slave to Sensation

January 22, 2021 by Melinda 7 Comments

Before we delve right into Slave to Sensation, a bit of housekeeping. We just want to take a moment to clarify, these aren't traditional reviews. We've both read this series from beginning to end and this is our second reread. We doing a deep dive of the series which means, spoilers abound. If you've never read the series or a particular book in the series, just keep in mind that it's impossible for us to really get into the books and talk about what works and what maybe doesn't by being Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel

January 8, 2021 by Melinda 6 Comments

Melinda: I discovered Nalini Singh's books back in 2012 but was overwhelmed at the idea of her long series. At that time I was reading more literary fiction and general fiction with romantic elements but have always loved paranormal stories, having grown up reading Christopher Pike's series. But my library had the entire Psy/Changeling series and once I read Slave to Sensation, I was so hooked! I tore through the first 5 books and then started buying the rest and binged Guild Hunter as well. Continue Reading
