SLAVE TO SENSATION

Author: Nalini Singh ISBN: 0425212866 9/2006 PARANORMAL/FUTURISTIC Publisher: BERKLEY SENSATION

In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was… Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: ^PLUS!

If I could use one word to describe Nalini Singh's new release, SLAVE TO SENSATION, is would be AWESOME! This book is absolutely awesome! Nalini Singh wrote a purely mesmerizing book that surely stands out among the other paranormal books out there. SLAVE TO SENSATION is captivating from beginning to end. It's a must read for any paranormal fan!

Sascha Duncan is different from the other Psy's. She has emotion in a society where such empathy in one's character is considered a flawed. She must never let the other Psy's in the collective know her fault because it would surely mean an existence that would be worse than death itself. She has to be on her guard, especially around her new business partner, Lucas Hunter.

Lucas Hunter is part human and animal—a changeling. He and his Pack are everything opposite of Sascha's existence. His society is that of touch, sensuality and trust. When he meets Sascha, he knows that she's different from the other Psy. He just doesn't know how different.

The relationship between Lucas and Sascha is just simply amazing. Sascha goes from living in her cold world, to thriving with Lucas. She awakens sexually and spiritually, and Lucas makes her shines. Singh intricately wove together a paranormal and a romance to create a simply remarkable story that should not only be read, but also acclaimed.

SLAVE TO SENSATION is a keeper on my bookshelf, and a book that no doubt I'll be picking up again to read. Don't let it pass you by!
