Silver Silence

Valentin... I didn't think someone could knock the Cats off my top Changling group but the bears are gaining ground!Nalini will have your heart on stop go mode as you read, I had a brief breakdown in the middle of the office break room (trying not to outwardly cry while my heart was breaking at the situation Silver and Valentin end up in) and then had to wait 3 more excruciating hours till I could get home and continue to read, and I did last night, finishing up at about 1 am.No spoilers here guys and gals - just a recommendation that this book goes to prove that Nalini Singh deserves my top Author spot on my bookshelf.I will be re-reading before the next book is published. The first 15 books have been my go-to re-read series, followed closely by a binge of Guild hunters.If I had to pick a series to be a castaway on a desert island for 10 years It would be the whole Nalini Paranormal Back Catalogue.Nalini's writing and world building are deep, her characters multi-faceted and they delve deep into your heart, This world astounds me as I read and read again and pick up new nuances of information each time.I know she has a system to keep track of who what where and why, as we got to hear about it when I had the pleasure of meeting Nalini in Auckland at the release of Allegiance of Honour, (going gaga in her presence) I know that once a reader finds Nalini, they become lifelong fans.I was so pleased that there is this new series as I would be heartbroken if this world stopped evolving... Long may Psy-Changling world continue to the next century!!And I can't wait for the next book in this new Trinity ARC.PS Nalini thanks for not breaking my heart!

I'll start with I've been waiting for this book since I finished Allegiance of Honor (Psy-Changeling #15), I became a Nalini Singh fan when I finally read Slave to Sensation in 2012. She has never disappointed me, this book is no different I devoured it in one sitting and then let the book sit for a few days and then read it again slower. I LOVE everything about this book. Silver is a Merchant she is being groomed to one day be the Matriarch of her powerful Psi family. Silver is smart, efficient, strong-willed and silent. And the Bears, oh the bears are just a wonderful new addition to Nalini Singh's Psi-Changling world. Valentine is an irascible pain, lovable, powerful and a man carrying the weight of his clan. 5 stars.
