I really enjoyed this latest edition to the Psy-Changeling series featuring Vasic, a Psy Arrow, and Ivy, a high level E-Psy. The premise is that with infection plaguing the PsyNet, there is a hypothesis that the previously proscribed and unacknowledged E-Psy designation might be the solution to healing the PsyNet. However, with certain sections of the Psy being pro-Silence and anti-emotions, the Psy special forces, the Arrows, are brought in to protect the newly-recognized Es who are part of a pilot experiment. When Ivy meets Vasic, it’s instant chemistry.
I loved the previous book in this series with Kaleb and Sahara and thought it was my favourite, but Vasic and Ivy, I think, have taken that title. Vasic is the epitome of a strong, silent-type damaged hero whilst Ivy is an absolute delight as a character. Their relationship is believable, their path to healing is a comfort, their discovery of intimacy is realistic and really well handled, the overarching theme of this book of the importance of feeling feelings and emotion and connection are dealt with gorgeously. This book is action-packed and emotional and there are multiple high stakes that make your care and keep you turning the pages. I adored this book and highly recommend. Unfortunately, it’s not really standalone (well I suppose you could read it that way but you lose out a lot) and should be read in order at least after Book 12.
