Used to cold silence, Faith NightStar is suddenly being tormented by dark visions of blood and murder. A bad sign for anyone, but worse for Faith, an F-Psy with the highly sought after ability to predict the future. Then the visions show her something even more dangerous – aching need…exquisite pleasure. But the very emotions she yearns to embrace could be the end of her.
Changeling Vaughn D’Angelo can take the form of either man or jaguar, but it is his animal side that is overwhelmingly drawn to Faith. While Vaughn craves sensation and hungers to pleasure Faith in every way, desire is a danger that could snap the last threads of her sanity. And there are Psy who need Faith’s sight for their own purposes. They must keep her silenced – and keep her from Vaughn.
Review:
It’s settled – I’m all in for this series. There’s a lot to like.
The good:
- While the books focus on different couples there’s a strong story arc that pulls them together and advances as we go. I love that urban fantasy and paranormal romance often are set up this way because it’s like following a favorite TV series, watching characters and events develop over a longer period of time.
- The contrast between the touchy-feely Changelings and cerebral Psy makes for interesting conflicts. With different species of shifters and different designations of Psy it’s easy to see why the series is going on strong over twenty books in.
- Visions of Heat is sexy, it’s fun, it’s full of characters I’ve come to care about, and it got my mind off the real world at a time I seriously need some escapism. Excellent.
The not-so-good:
- This is the second book in a row where a woman Psy who is cut off from her emotions is paired up with a red hot Changeling male. Nothing wrong with it, but I’m looking forward to the trope flipping in future books.
Huzzah for finding a new series to gorge on! I’m not the type to swallow series I love whole, though, so I’m planning to leave two months or so between books so they have room to breathe properly in my brain. I guess paranormal romance is like fine wine.
