The setting for this one is with the wolf pack in Russia during a conference of empaths that the wolves are doing security. You do see the bears from Silver Silence, but the main characters are the Alpha wolf and a arrow we haven’t met before. Ethan is a both a different Arrow and TK, Ming had him kept him separate from the squad and used torture to control him. Selenka is the Alpha of the wolf pack in Moscow and is working with Ethan for the first time when there is an attack. In the aftermath of the attack Selenka’s wolf has bonded to Ethan. Even though they don’t know one another and bonding like these are more in fairytales, they work together to know one another and find who is behind the attack. The story does move the Trinity storyline along a bit and you find out a bit more about Ethan and his unusual abilities. Clever readers will figure out what is different about him long before anyone else in the story does. The usual HEA by the end of the book as we can expect with these novels and I can’t wait to read more.

I continue to adore this series. I LOVED Ethan, and the badass Selenka too. I hope Gregorian is next! Bearded, tattooed, emotionally unavailable... just my type! On an unrelated note, it would be nice to be able to identify with the heroines a bit more. There has only ever been one non-traditionally attractive heroine, plain and plump, and I would love to see more! ( )

Wanted to like this better than I did. There just didn't seem to be much meat here. It felt short, like not a lot happened. I did enjoy the alpha heroine but something was missing. Maybe it was because the mate bond was so instantaneous between the hero and heroine. Their relationship just seemed sort of blah. I couldn't really get into their romance. ( )

3.5 stars A few less scenes of sex and this book would have really sung for me. I like the characters and the background, though we didn't get as much depth with this one as [b:Silver Silence|36184513|Silver Silence (Psy-Changeling Trinity, #1; Psy-Changeling, #16)|Nalini Singh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1504594997l/36184513._SY75_.jpg|52534858], which is also set in Russia. Or maybe, I just like the bears more ... ( )

My twin sister has been telling me to read this series for years and despite liking the other Nalini Singh's I had read I never got around to reading it. After reading these books I can't imagine why I hesitated to read them ; they are really good. The story is fresh and original, the writing style is engaging and the characters are so well written that you truly get invested in their lives. I have enjoyed all the books in this series psy, changeling and human as they are all fascinating in their own way. ( )
