Storm Echo
Nalini Singh. Berkley, $27 (384p) ISBN 978-0-593-44067-4
In bestseller Singh’s immersive sixth Psy-Changeling Trinity romance (after Last Guard), a telepathic Psy struggling with a literal inner demon meets a shape-shifting Changeling woman who shows him his future’s not as bleak as he believes. When Ivan Mercant is injured at a training course for fellow Psy, it’s Soleil Bijoux Garcia, a Changeling who can shape-shift into an ocelot, who patches him up. The pair quickly fall in love and Ivan opens up, confessing that there’s a monster living inside his mind. Though Soleil assures him that they’ll handle it together, she disappears the next day, leaving Ivan convinced he scared her off—until they cross paths several months later and Soleil has no idea who he is. She’s confused as to why her inner ocelot responds so strongly to this stranger, longing to mark him as hers. Ivan works to understand what happened to Soleil and help her to recover, while Soleil teaches him that his life is worth fighting for—and shows him that the darkness in his mind may be able to fix the crumbling PsyNet. Singh’s worldbuilding is elaborate as ever, and she brings all the romance, family dynamics, and intrigue her readers crave. Series fans will find this un-put-downable. Agent: Nephele Tempest, Knight Agency. (July)
