Shield of Winter

This was another good book. The overall plot moved along nicely, the love story was good. I liked Vasic and Ivy together. And the revelation about Zie Zen was interesting.

💬: “Laughing in the intimate space between them, she rose up against him, kissed him in sweet little sips, her hands on either side of his face. Every muscle in his body tense, Vasic surrendered to the kiss, to the possession that may as well have been steel chains around his body."

----

Shield of Winter is the 13th book in the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh. Two Psy, Ivy Jane and Vasic, one of the central members of the Arrow Squad, are the main characters. I really enjoyed their romance story. Vasic is tasked with protecting Ivy after [SPOILER] the fall of Silence.

There's a lot of action in this novel, but there's also a good amount of romance as well. I really love the balance between the Romance and Paranormal/Urban Fantasy genres, Singh is so good at making the stakes high and interesting while also making sure to naturally make the characters fall in love. I don't want to spoil too much by going into detail about the "threat" in this book, though I will say I was hooked and didn't want to stop reading until I had finished.

The spicy scenes were so good in this. I especially liked how things were made interesting because of one of Vasic's abilities. I'm giving it four chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ out of five chilies

I really enjoyed the 13th main book in the Psy/Changeling series. It had action, romance, good spicy scenes, and a handsome brooding MMC! I'm giving this book 4 stars out of 5.

I really liked these two together! Focusing on an Arrow and an E-Psy right after the fall of Silence was a really good choice because I feel like these two are the groups that have most been affected by silence overall. This was a really solid book; the relationship between them felt natural and sweet, since it was the first time either of them had ever been in a romantic entanglement before, which is a breath a fresh air after all the previous books where at least one of the pairing has had experience. It was nice to see the bumbling side of a relationship a bit since they're totally new to it.

I cried a little bit at the end, first in a sad way and then in a really happy way. This series is promising to end really well even if I'll be sad that it's over.
