Is it just me, or is Dorian more of an asshole/idiot than the others? Fortunately Ashaya is not too flustered by it, being both psy and having already broken her conditioning.
One tip for convincing someone you're not a threat to them: don't get in their face and snarl at them to trust you. Eye roll.
The stupidity seemed a bit too much, and I was more indifferent to this one than the previous ones. But still. Good escapism fodder.

Afterthought: there was one gem in this book I forgot to mention:
She was beautiful, something her intense intelligence had a tendency to overshadow
Really? How does that work? She is less beautiful because she is smart? She's so smart that you forget to notice she's also pretty? I seriously need an eye roll smiley to include in these reviews... ( )

Dorian and Ashaya are interesting, and I liked the conflict better here than in some of the others of this series. ( )

Separada de su hijo y obligada a crear un implante neurológico que significaría la esclavitud total de su raza de seres psíquicamente dotados, Ashaya Aleine es la psi perfecta; fría, serena, insensible… al menos por fuera. Por dentro está librando una batalla desesperada para salvar a su hijo y escapar de la sádica y fría PsiNet. Pero cuando logra escapar, la liberación no la conduce a la seguridad, sino a los brazos de un francotirador peligroso y letal.

Dorian Christensen, francotirador de DarkRiver, perdió a su hermana a manos de un asesino psi. Aunque carece de la capacidad para transformarse y adoptar forma animal, su leopardo vive dentro de él. Y la cólera de ese leopardo ante la brutal pérdida es una oscuridad corrosiva que ansía venganza. Dorian nunca planeó enamorarse de una psi, pero con la responsabilidad de proteger a Ashaya y a su hijo, descubre que la pasión tiene el don de cambiar las reglas…

Dorian and Ashaya. Good pairing. ( )

My twin sister has been telling me to read this series for years and despite liking the other Nalini Singh's I had read I never got around to reading it. After reading these books I can't imagine why I hesitated to read them ; they are really good. The story is fresh and original, the writing style is engaging and the characters are so well written that you truly get invested in their lives. I have enjoyed all the books in this series psy, changeling and human as they are all fascinating in their own way. ( )
