I loved the story of Ivy and Vasic.
Ivy is a strong heroine who survived being brutally reconditioned because her Silence was flawed--because she is a rare, high level empath. Now empaths are needed to fight an infection in the NetMind, and the Arrows Are given the task of protecting and working with the empaths (Es).
Vasic was tortured and brutalized during his training as an Arrow. And the things he's had to do since then have put a black stain on his heart. He lost his will to live and volunteered to become a human guinea pig for an experimental biofusion gauntlet. But the gauntlet is malfunctioning and his time is running out. Just when he has found Ivy.
Ivy is determined to melt the winter shield around Vasic's heart, because she knows he feels deeply even though outwardly he is a cold Arrow. But if she does, will he survive for them to have a chance at a life together?
WINTER SHIELD is a beautiful story about learning to love that will touch your heart. And it is sprinkled with humor throughout, many of the lines delivered deadpan by Vasic himself.
Do I think WS is the strongest, most powerful book in the series? In all honesty, no. But I loved Vasic, and Vasic and Ivy together. I look forward to seeing them again in the future.
I hope Aden gets a book!

Love Vasic. Love Ivy. Love them as a couple. Honestly like their interactions with the larger world more than hearing about them together even though they work well. Loved Grandpa zen and his presilence memories

I just love this world that Singh has created. Her books make very key observations about human nature. The need for emotion, touch and laughter, the need to indulge your basic instincts, the capability of the human mind in all its facets. Such great writing and poignancy under the cover of a paranormal romance novel!
I loved Vasic and his emotional awakening in this book is a joy to watch. Vasic and Ivy, both, are new to relationships and to see them fumble their way through is sweet, sexy, and heart-melting.
One of my favorite things about the last few books in the series is that a lot of the major characters from previous books show their faces again. They have to join together to help solve the global Psy-net conflict, and its great to see your favorite characters again and again. I especially love Lucas and Sasha, who we see a lot of here, and even get a snippet of Hawke and Sienna, who I also love.
My only criticism is how technical the story gets at times about how the psy-net works and how to fix it, etc. So many theories are thrown around, that I just wanted her to get to the meat already. But with that said, I really enjoyed this installment. I'm looking forward to the next one already. Maybe Aden's book?
