Review

If you have not read the other 8 books in the Psy-Changeling series, then don't start with Play of Passion go back and read them all. It is so worth it. This is a series that builds. The Psy-Changeling world is set a little in the future; and there are three main races: the psy, who have shunned all emotion and have many different, typed and levels of psychic/mind power. The changelings are incredibly strong being that change from human form to one set of animal form, and also have a natural mental shield. Then there are humans. Though humans are not portrayed as week in the series they are sort of up in the air between the two other species.

In Play of Passion we our back in the changeling world after two books away. Not only that but we are in the SnowDancers din. Indigo is a SnowDancer lieutenant. She is force to be dealt with, a calm that people can rely on, and always aware of everything that is gong on in her pack. Andrew Kincaid is the SowDancer tracker, and none knows just how dominate he really falls in the pack, or how long he has been waiting to track down Indigo.

Indigo has such a perfect mold of a real mate in her head that Drew just does not fit into that he almost doesn't get a chance with her. But Drew is a real charmer and makes Indigo see him for who he is. I truly loved that you got to see how the wolves played and interacted while in the mating dance. I loved that when she pushed him away all the women in the pack tried to help him. It made me smile. Then there love story starts tounfold. You find out why Indigo pushes anyone away who she thinks may be less dominant than her, and just how strong Drew really is.

There are a lot of cameos in this installment. The psy council has split and is out to get the SnowDancer alpha Hawke, but because of that there is this major meeting towards the end of the book with two councilors, the SnowDancers, Dark River, and Max the cop. I have to say i didn't see that coming together so soon. There is also some dialog between, and about Hawke and Sienne in this book. Their names make my heart go fast.

# 10 Kiss of Snow comes out May 31 2011. I can't wait ; )

Happy Reading,

Rebecca
