My series review can be found here at my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/dSjY3MgVTaY (released 4./11/21)

I read the first of this series and didn't gel with it, then my review listeners suggested I give it another try, and into this book, oh yes that worked! I am not fully entrenched in the psy-changeling world and yet another series to keep in my head all the nuances etc., The fact there's lots of different 'shifters' in this series is brilliant, rats, bears, wolves and jaguars and leopards and lynx! Most definitely a world that anybody would love to get involved in. Not as good as Singh's Archangel series, but most definitely worth your time.

A strong read - I love this series. Especially on audio. I think I prefer the psy FMC & changeling mmc but I’m loving the expanding plot in the background

While there have been peeks at the SnowDancer pack, this story dives deeper. Brenna is a member of the SnowDancer pack and her rescue from a psychotic Psy featured in the first book in this series. The Laurens, a group of Psys who escaped the Psy net, have been taken in by the SnowDancer pack. Judd is the least trusted by the pack because of his very typical Psy persona. Yet Brenna, who craves touch, is drawn to Judd who cannot tolerate touch. Brenna and Judd working through their feelings for each other, as well as some targeted attacks on Brenna, keep this story moving.

Because of the nature of Judd’s Psy abilities, there are also a lot of fail-safes built into him from his conditioning. This means this story is a bit of a slow burn. Judd literally starts falling apart the more he feels emotionally and the more he is touched physically. Yet to override these fail-safes, Judd may be opening himself up to the accidental use of his powers. This could mean death to those around him.

Brenna is not about to give up on Judd and he gets to the point where he cannot let her go. Their link is wonderful, especially when there are so many that do not understand it. Brenna must also deal with her prejudice against the Psy, which is understandable after what happened to her. There is a wonderful scene between her and one of the Psy children that helped her to work through some of her issues, and will hopefully pave the way for more acceptance of the Laurens in the SnowDancer pack.

I loved getting to know more about the SnowDancer pack and getting some deeper insights into some of the DarkRiver pack. This was another fantastic story in this series.
