Sophia Russo is a J-Psy who knows her current case will be
her last. Sophia is scheduled for retirement or
rehabilitation, a process that will leave her little more
than a vegetable. The J-Psy are able to retrieve memories
from criminals, assisting the police to easily obtain
crucial memories needed for convictions in the worst cases.
Her current assignment pairs her up with human detective
Max Shannon.
When several members of her staff suddenly die, Psy
Councilor Nikita Duncan suspects foul play and requests Max
be assigned the case. Max bristles at the notion of a
partner, but changes his mind when he finds out who his
future partner is. He's fascinated by Sophia Russo. Even
though he is human, Max has shields that protect him from
the Psy meddling in his brain. He and Sophia run with the
case. Sophia veers dangerously close to the edge of the
cliff at times and it's all Max can do to pull her back.
These two dream of an impossible future together, even as
their fragile world threatens to break apart and destroy
them both, body and soul.
It's good to see Max with his own story. I love the way
this world expands from book to book. The continuity is
always rock solid and even though every book is complete,
there is an arc for readers who never miss an entry in the
Psy/Changeling universe. I know I haven't missed a book
yet. Singh remains one of my favorite writers, I can always
depend on her to deliver an entertaining story.
Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York
Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him
against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance
of advancement within the Psy-dominated power structure.
The last case he expects to be assigned is that of a
murderer targeting a Psy Councilor’s closest advisors. And
the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual
of ways is a Psy on the verge of a catastrophic mental
fracture…
Sophia Russo is a Justice-Psy, cursed with the ability to
retrieve memories from men and women so twisted even
veteran cops keep their distance. Appointed as Max’s
liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this
human, her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden
emotion. But, her mind filled with other people’s
nightmares, other people’s evil, she’s standing on the
border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges her
to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury…
and executioner...
