Theodora Marshall, a low-gradient Psy, had been a disappointment to her family, except to her twin brother, Pax. But Theo doesn’t know everything that was done to her in the past and with the help of one of the StoneWater bears, Yakov Stepyrev, she will soon relive the dark days she might rather never remember.
Theo is sent with Yakov by her brother to investigate a rehabilitation center that should have been closed down but is still drawing money from the Marshall coffers. They learn that this was one of the unregistered centers used in the years of silence, and the patients were considered worthless and sent there to have their minds wiped clean leaving them mere shells. It is at the gate that Theo begins to remember bits of being there. Unsure that she wants to know the truth about what was done to her by her own grandfather, Theo continues to investigate and hope the truth is not as bad as she thinks. Yakov knows Theo; he has seen her die a bloody death night after night in his dreams--or rather, nightmares now that he has met her and his bear wants to claim her. He has to make sure this doesn’t happen, though he isn’t sure what he must do to save her.
Nalini Singh takes readers back to her Moscow bears in RESONANCE SURGE. There is an amazing dynamic between Yakov and Theo and it is rather cute that neither of them is sure what to do about it. RESONANCE SURGE brings in a low-Gradient Psy and a product of a Psy-Changling couple. Mixing it all up to make it more fun for the readers. Readers cannot help but feel for Theo and really love how Yakov feels protective of her immediately. I guess it could be the nightmares of her death that just might have something to do with that.
Yakov’s twin Pavel has his heart set on Arwen Mercant and we get to see if he is successful or not. There is also some drama with Pax Marshall. Is he a good guy or will he succumb to the scarab syndrome? So many questions involving this world with quite a few answers and still more that readers will want to know about this intriguing world.
Anything written by Nalini Singh is a must-read, but RESONANCE SURGE is one that will have you lost in this intriguing world and leave you wanting more.
Where are the broken? That is the propulsive question that unleashes a world of secrets in New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s Resonance Surge . . .
StoneWater bears Pavel and Yakov Stepyrev have been a unit since birth, but now Pavel’s life is veering in a new direction, his heart held in the hands of Arwen Mercant, a Psy empath—and the only man who has ever brought Pavel to his knees.
This is it. A point of irrevocable change. For Pavel . . . for Arwen . . . for Yakov . . . and for another pair of twins whose bond has a far darker history.
A low-Gradient Psy, Theodora Marshall is considered worthless by everyone but her violently powerful twin, Pax. She is the sole person he trusts in their venomous family to investigate a hidden and terrible part of their family history - an unregistered rehabilitation Center established by their grandfather.
Places of unimaginable pain designed to psychically wipe minds, leaving the victims shells of their former selves, the Centers are an ugly vestige of the Psy race’s Silent past. But this Center was worse. Far, far worse. And now Theo must uncover the awful truth - in the company of a scowling bear named Yakov, who isn’t about to take a Marshall at face value . . . especially a Marshall who has turned his dreams into chilling nightmares.
Because Yakov is the great-grandson of a foreseer . . . and he has seen Theo die in an unstoppable surge of blood. Night after night after night . . .
