*Spoilers ahead, beware!
Nalini Singh is one of my favorite authors (although I’m only reading
her Psy-Changeling series), she respects her characters, she is open to her
readers, and she is always nice on twitter!!!!
In this anthology we visit favorite couples from the books and we meet
new ones.
1)
Beat of Temptation Psy/Changeling 0.5
This is the tale of Tamsyn the Darkriver healer and Nate the Darkriver sentinel. Although we know both of them from previous books we meet them again several years before, as a young and unmated couple. I was quite skeptical while reading this story, I think it didn’t add something solid to the characters but it gave insight in the aftermath of the murder of Lucas’s parents.
2)
Stroke of Enticement Psy/Changeling 3.5
In this story we meet Annie
a human teacher and Zach a Darkriver senior soldier. Even though we meet both
heroes for the first time I already loved Zach! The way he approaches Annie,
the way he entices her and lures her into his arms is wonderful. A well build
romance in just a few pages with enough heartache to make it interesting.
3)
Declaration of Courtship Psy/Changeling 9.5
I was really anticipating
this one! Grace and Cooper are the reason I read this book and they didn’t
disappoint me. It was the first time a submissive wolf comes forward as a
heroine even of a novella and I really enjoyed the exploration of her psychic.
Her thoughts and fears in mating a dominant man, the “dialogues” she has with
her wolf and the time it took for her to trust her heart in Cooper’s hands was
well detailed. And Cooper this hot and wicked wolf could melt my heart with the
tricks he had up his sleeve, and the dirty talk….amazing!
4) Texture of Intimacy Psy/Changeling 10.5
Walker and Lara’s
story begun in Tangle of Need but it wasn’t explored in depth, these gaps are
filled in this novella plus we learn new and interesting things for a specific
Arrow. Returning to the
Snowdancers’ den we see interactions from all our favourite characters and the
fact that made this story special is that even though it was dedicated to
Walker and Lara it wasn’t isolated from the life in the den, their kids and the
”everyday life” is present and evolves around them connecting them together and
making them stronger.
Overall, I think Wild Initiation is a gift from Nalini Singh to her readers, a must read if you are a fan!
