Brenna is a wolf-human living in the Snow Dance community who has been kidnapped and devastatingly tortured. After she's rescued by Judd, a Psy with telepathic and telekinetic abilities (and more), she thinks she might survive her haunting, horrific ordeal by Santano Enrique whom Judd killed. But another member of the Snow Dance community is murdered, and Brenna starts to experience something "evil," something that perhaps has been planted into her brain.

Little does she realize the plot that is unfolding that, if successful, will reprogram all of life to the point of its destruction. The clues lie in the NetMind, a cyberspace program controlled by the Psys but with unexplainable gaps holding the secrets of all defectors, including a serial killer. But who is behind the killing and why?

Judd and the Ghost have defected from the Psys, but the conditioning of the Psys, the Silence, is enmeshed deeper into his brain then he realizes. Black keys have been built into the unconscious, the inner layer, and the removal of these will allow him to fully experience what he senses are powerful emotions for Brenna, for all of living indeed. But the inner core of Brenna and almost all in her community is safe. The enemy's power is controlling the nerve responses and thinking of its prey. Pleasure, response is the normal order, but how is one to live when that usual function is reversed.

Nalini Singh is a unique writer in the way she presents the mystery within this story, gradually creating and increasing the tension and puzzle behind the surface action. Minute clues are tantalizingly dropped at pivotal spots throughout the novel, paralleling the developing romance between two very different characters, Brenna and Judd.

Caressed by Ice is a fascinating, intriguing paranormal, science fiction story that will enthrall those who love otherworldly plots lived by passionate, fully engaged characters like Brenna and Judd! Nicely done, Ms. Singh!

Caressed By Ice PsyChangelings Book 3 Nalini Singh 9780425218426 Books Reviews

Of the first three novels in this series, this is undoubtedly my favorite. I absolutely adore Sascha and Lucas’ story in Slave to Sensation, but there’s something so incredibly heart-wrenching about seeing Judd find his way to an HEA with Brenna – the wolf they worked so hard to save in that first book.

This has absolutely NONE of the issues that I noted in my review for Visions of Heat, and none of the future books do either, but it’s so incredibly refreshing to come into this book and just be met with equal strength and character from both the hero and heroine – right from the beginning. It doesn’t matter that Brenna thinks that she’s going insane (something that would actually be understandable considering what she’s been through), she’s still more than a match for Judd, for melting the Silence that he holds close to him…for a very good reason.

After 14 full-length novels in this series, the romance in this one remains one of my all-time favorites. I don’t think I can give it much more praise than that.

The other favorite thing in this book is the ramping up of the world-building and over-arcing plot. I cannot say enough how amazed I am at the world that Nalini has created. And not just the world, because while it’s intricate and detailed and I know that it continues beyond what I see on the page, we see this world through the catalyst of change.

Silence has been in effect for over 100 years by the time we first enter the Psy-Changeling world. And it’s been working…so they say. But there are too many examples of it failing, and the Council isn’t able to keep all of them contained anymore. The protocol is fraying around the edges, and when the strongest begin to leave…change is imminent. Even now, so many re-reads later, I’m still caught in the stress and worry over how they’re going to make it better. Because the world they live in right now may be the best they were able to come up with, but it’s sure not great, not even really good with all the losses each race is enduring.

So we get to see not only the Changelings push for change, because they’re powerful even if the Psy have forgotten they’re more than just animals, AND we get to see the very beginnings of the Psy push for change.Revolution is inevitable.

In this oh-so-real world that I’ve come to love, with the characters that feel like friends, how could I not be invested in the outcome of this intricate and detailed story?

Whenever I re-read, I’m struck anew by how far in advance Nalini Singh has planned things out. There are hints and thoughts, comments and off-hand mentions of people, places, ideas, that only really come to bear fruit much, much, much later in the series – sometimes 10 or 12 books later. That, to me, is amazing and part of what makes this world, this series a favorite.
