Slave To Sensation: Psy-changeling

Nalini Singh is one of the more talented authors in the genre, with an exceptional ability for painting images with words. Psy-Changeling is full of the things that make her books so enjoyable: Detailed, rounded and interesting world-building, angsty romance and an action packed plot.In a genre dominated by the dog-like and the Dracula-like, Singh's Psy-Changeling series stands out. The types of creatures in this series include apathetic psychic beings, determined humans and elemental shape shifters. It's an interesting take on the traditional shape shifting, blood-loving, life-sucking settings you'll find in other series. There's also something intriguing about watching people discover emotions they didn't know they had.The paranormal romance genre isn't known for its depth. And with good reason – fans read these books for escapist reasons and don't expect (or want) to have to think too hard about the content. This has led to most of these series being shallow, surface deep carbon copy romances. Psy-Changeling is one of the exceptions.The romance in the novels – while satisfying – sometimes gets in the way of the fascinating political events in the series. It's not perfect (there are a number of problems with gender stereotyping), but this is a multi-layered world, with new depths appearing as the plot progresses.
