Publisher's summary

Assassin. Soldier. Arrow. That is who Vasic is, who he will always be. His soul drenched in blood, his conscience heavy with the weight of all he's done, he exists in the shadows, far from the hope his people can almost touch - if only they do not first drown in the murderous insanity of a lethal contagion. To stop the wave of death, Vasic must complete the simplest and most difficult mission of his life. For if the Psy race is to survive, the empaths must wake....

Having rebuilt her life after medical "treatment" that violated her mind and sought to suffocate her abilities, Ivy should have run from the black-clad Arrow with eyes of winter frost. But Ivy Jane has never done what she should. Now, she'll fight for her people, and for this Arrow who stands as her living shield, yet believes he is beyond redemption. But as the world turns to screaming crimson, even Ivy's fierce will may not be enough to save Vasic from the cold darkness.

Love the series! These books are the best

These are great book. I enjoy the way they are written and I love the stories. They give you a little bit of everything suspense romance

Love it!

just as great as Celebs story. I will listen to it again as many time as I listened to Caleb' s story. Man I loved both the stories as much as the perfomance! AWESOME!

'eh, not great, but not bad

I was wondering what she would do with the character of Vassic, he always seems so perfectly Psy. While this book was good in that it told more of the oncoming war and specifically what the "E's" could do to help there was a bit too much of the "I want her, but I'm not good enough for her" vibe in the book. Okay it was more than a vibe it was said at least 5 times and often just when they just had this conversation...it got a bit grating, but still an overall good addition to the series.

Well Rounded Book

So this review is based off this book in conjunction with all the other books that come before it and without looking at it separately. This is a great installment in the series. It has very real responses of real-ish people. If you are at this book but haven't read any of the books that came before it, you will definitely be lost. This is a key story in the changing of the world as it has been portrayed in all the previous books. And it has a sweet love story with many laugh out loud moments even though it has some really dark themes and scenarios lurking in the background and brought to the fore. This is high on my list of books I love from this series.

Heart thumping excitement

It’s still fantastic the 3rd time thru the series. Because it’s set in the future you don’t realize it was written awhile ago. This had some serious issues with almost death, a wonderfully told romantic awakening with some smokin moments and an adorable little dog named Rabbit. Great narrative by Angela Dawes so don’t miss it.

One of My Favorites of Psy Series

Nalini Singh is brilliant as usual bringing danger, warmth and characters alive with her words. Angela Dawes narrative does justice to Nalini's words.

My all time favorite... Vasic....

Another totally fabulous book in the Psy-Changeling series, I do think this was my very favorite book in this series..I loved the story of Vasic and was thrill she gave us readers/listeners a more closer look into this very humble, soft spoken man.
Excellent!

I heart Ivy and Vasic

This is one of my favorite, maybe even my favorite, psy-changeling novel. there is so much good in this book.

one of my faves!

Ivy is awesome and Vasik is awesome! I never leave comments but this was a really awesome read. downloading the next one haha haha!

Narrator voice much louder than characters…

…. makes it really annoying to listen. Volume constantly up and down! I don’t recall this being a problem with other Nalini Singh and hope it doesn’t happen again or I won’t be buying them anymore!
