Psy-Changeling Trinity Book 8: Primal Mirror by Nalini Singh

 

Psy-Changeling Trinity Book 8

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into a family dark with shadowy secrets, as the world of the Psy teeters on the edge of a final catastrophic collapse. . . .

 

Daughter of two ruthless high-Gradient telepaths, Auden Scott is not the child her Psy parents wanted or expected, even before her brain injury. Her thoughts are scattered, her memories fuzzy—or just terrifyingly blank. The only thing she knows for certain is that she must protect her unborn baby . . . a baby she has no recollection of conceiving and who draws an unnerving depth of interest from her dead mother’s closest associates.

 

Leopard alpha Remi Denier is a man driven by the primal instinct to protect. Protect his pack, protect his allies . . . and protect the mysterious woman who has become a most unlikely neighbor. With eerie eyes that see too much and a scent that alters in ways disturbing and impossible, Auden Scott is the enemy . . . but nothing about this strange Psy is what it seems, and Remi’s feline heart is as fascinated by her as his human half.

 

Then Auden asks Remi to help her shatter the wall of secrets that is the Scott bloodline. What they unearth will reveal a nightmare beyond imagination. This time, the battle is to the death. . . .

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Back in the Psy-Changeling world and it’s Remi’s turn! I love the RainFire pack and it was great to see them again and this time get their alpha’s story. We’ve seen Remi quite a few times in the series. He has a nice mentor relationship with Lucas and one of his closest friends is Aden, leader of the Arrows. And now we get to see who is mate ends up being. The answer? Auden Scott, a Psy who was the daughter of two vicious Councillors who are now gone. But their plans? Not completely gone. Auden has suffered by the hands of her parents in a way that has caused permanent damage to her brain. When Remi first meets Auden near his land, he knows something is off with her. Her scent is quick to change and she isn’t completely with him in their conversation. He does sense the real her though when she uses her ability to read an object from his mother. Months later, he sees Auden but this time, she is heavily pregnant. Auden may not remember how exactly she became pregnant and other gaps in her memory that tell her she has missed some important things but she does know she will do whatever she can to protect her child. And if that means leaning into the personality shift that thrives from Silence in order to take take the rest of the Scott family? So be it. She also isn’t afraid to get help from Remi. Remi who she is drawn to in ways she can’t explain but knows she isn’t afraid of him. And Remi will do what he can to protect Auden and her child. He isn’t letting her go and will do anything to protect her from those who wish her and her baby harm and even Auden herself. What a ride this one! On top of Auden and Remi’s wild story, the Net is still collapsing and only complicates matters. This was a pretty intense story and I couldn’t put it down. I loved getting to know Remi more and Auden was another great character to add to this cast! This series remains to be one of my favorites and as always can’t wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
