Return to the powerful, turbulent Psy/Changeling world created by the “amazingly talented”* Nalini Singh, as a human detective finds himself working the most unlikely of cases—in the dark heart of a Councilor’s domain…
Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the Psy-dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned is that of a murderer targeting a Psy Councilor’s closest advisors. And the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a Psy on the verge of a catastrophic mental fracture…
Sophia Russo is a Justice-Psy, cursed with the ability to retrieve memories from men and women so twisted even veteran cops keep their distance. Appointed as Max’s liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this human, her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden emotion. But, her mind filled with other people’s nightmares, other people’s evil, she’s standing on the border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges her to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury…and executioner…

This book made more sense in how the characters interacted. I liked this one very much.
Loved the book! I am glad I am reading these all at once so I don't have to wait for next one.
Sadly, this is another couple I just didn't particularly connect with. I like Max and Sophia as characters on their own, but together they just didn't really do anything for me. My opinion is also affected by the fact that this book has one of the most egregious cases of insta-love out of the entire series. I've learned to sort of wave it away after reading so many books in this world but I'm almost certain this book takes place over the course of MAYBE 2 weeks. And they're talking about marriage by the end of it. I just feel like it's not too hard to put in a time skip or two. Even a few months would've made this more realistic; I wouldn't even care if the time skips were badly done. It would've been SOMETHING.
However, the lore is what saved me from rating this lower. Both getting more details on the J-Psy and spending more time than normal with Council and seeing the deepening schism between them was fascinating. We're really starting to pick up steam towards Trinity now and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.
