Throwback Thursday – Slave to Sensation – Nalini Singh

 



This book is one of the first books I stumbled across when I made the switch to ebooks.  Of course, that was when I was still using the free library app and not leaving reviews.  I know!  My lack of knowledge on book reading etiquette was appalling.  But I’m better educated now, and I get to share all of these amazing older books with you and I re-read my way through my Kindle app library.

The author did a phenomenal job with this book.  She took the time to build multiple detailed societies within her world and then created characters with a depth that made them so realistic.  I love how the characters interact with each other and the realistic way that they all have their own agenda.  And the emotions she was able to elicit from them is just, wow.  I found myself crying during more than one spot and would gladly do it again to re-experience the depth of the emotions these characters felt for one another.

This is a fantastic series starter that you won’t want to miss.  And the best thing is that there are already 27 books/novellas available.  Plus, the author is still adding to them, her latest book “Alpha Knight” just released on June 9, 2020.  Such a wonderful birthday present for me this year.  You are sure to find yourself down the series rabbit hole once you pick up this book, and you might find you won’t to come back until the end of the very last one.

Happy Reading

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changelings book 1)

Published to Amazon on March 31, 2009

Author Nalini Singh

Amazon



THE FIRST PSY/CHANGELING NOVEL from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian...The book that Christine Feehan called "a must-read for all of my fans."

In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of "rehabilitation"--the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was...

Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion--and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities--or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation...



Official published review:

Silence is not always bliss

What a fantastic new world! I absolutely love the different unique levels to the society and how each group has their own social norms. The author put so much detail into the world she created and in the characters that she built, I almost half expected to turn my head and see them walking all around me. I enjoyed the depth to the characters and the emotions that she was able to impart with her words. More than once I felt myself tearing up at the experiences they lived through. The author kept the story exciting and interesting with every new experience she brought her characters to on the way to their HEA. I cannot wait to pick up the next book in this series and see who will find danger, and their HEA, next.

5 stars
