The Psy/Changeling Channel: Play of Passion

October 1, 2021 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Melanie: Once again, I had very little memory of this book except for my original GR review letting me know I loved it the first time I read it, which was over two years ago. I wasn’t sure whether the book would hold up - after all, so much has changed in the past two years - but, despite a lot of pretty glaring consent issues that started right from chapter one, I found myself loving the book, loving Indigo, and absolutely adoring Drew. Melinda and I talked a lot about the fact that we both Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Bonds of Justice

August 27, 2021 by Melinda 1 Comment

Melanie: I was a little worried when I started this book because I had very little recollection of it other than Goodreads telling me I had given it a 5 star on my initial reading of this book. I’m super thrilled to say that upon rereading, this book totally holds up. Despite the fact that neither Max Shannon nor Sophia Russo are changelings and I tend to gravitate more towards the pairings where at least one of the MCs is a changeling, this book still worked for me, maybe partially because of Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Blaze of Memory

July 30, 2021 by Melanie 1 Comment

Melanie: Well, this book was a ride…the kind of ride I actually wanted to get off of long before it ended. It’s a little strange to me that in the same month that we delved into some of the Psy/Changeling novellas, we also read a book that arguably could and maybe should have been a novella. When Melinda and I were messaging back and forth during the course of reading this book, she made a comment that really resonated. “Is boring worse than asshole,” she pondered. I’m hoping that over the Continue Reading

Review: Last Guard (Psy-Changeling Trinity #5) by Nalini Singh

July 21, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

Last Guard by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 20, 2021, by BerkleyARCReview by Melanie and Melinda Melinda: We've been so excited for this book - and we're going to try to do this review without spoilers! Going into this book right away we know we’re getting a ton of new aspects in the Psy/Changing world because we’ve not only rarely seen much of the Mercant family, we’ve never seen the Rao family before. We’ve also never seen the Anchor designation in so much detail, and then on top of Continue Reading

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
