Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh
5.0

I absolutely love Nalini Singh! I started reading her Guild Hunter series first and when I realized she had another paranormal series, I just had to check it out. I was not disappointed!

SLAVE TO SENSATION is a futuristic story set in a world with three races: humans, human/animal shifters referred to as Changelings, and the Psy, a society of people with dangerous psychic talents who suppress emotions, relying solely on logic. Just think of the Psy as a bunch of Spocks, except they don’t have an awesome greeting :)

Sascha is a Psy who has quietly been struggling with feeling emotions. She wouldn’t dare tell anyone especially her mom, who is a member of the ruling body over the Psy, because there are dire consequences to any Psy who exhibit emotion. Sascha struggles every day she’s with Lucas and his pack because their open, loving lifestyle is quickly breaking her resolve and the shields she’s built up in order to protect her secret.

Lucas is the ruggedly handsome leader of his Changeling pack and he has a secret agenda to find a Psy murderer and he thought he hit the jackpot with having to work closely with the Psy, Sascha. Little does Lucas realize is that he is quickly falling for the emotionless beauty that can’t seem to hide her feelings from him.

This book was unbelievable! There is action, mystery, and raw, unbridled passion! I will tell you though that some of the story gets pretty technical, especially when the author is detailing the history and the genealogy of the Psy people. Other than that, I thought the writing was brilliant and the story was captivating and highly entertaining!
