| Resonance Surge by Nalini Singh |
Resonance Surge is already book 7 in
Psy-Changeling Trinity series and we’re back in Moscow with bears. Which is as
it should be.
Yakov is a laid-back bear-changeling
who has inherited the ability to see future from his F-Psy great-grandfather.
All his life, he’s seen visions of a woman he knows is his mate. But now the
visions have changed and she dies in all of them.
Theodora Marshall is
a low gradient Psy and a great disappointment to her brutally ambitious family,
especially her grandfather Marshall Hyde, the villain in the original series,
now dead. If she weren’t deeply connected with her brilliant twin Pax, she
would’ve been killed already as a child. The family has kept them separated and
made a use of her as they’ve seen fit.
Now that he’s in
charge of the family, Pax sends Theo to Moscow to unravel the family’s dark
secrets. Yakov is ordered to be her bodyguard, and the connection that has
existed since his childhood brings them fast together. But it turns out that this
particular family secret is very personal for Theo.
This was an excellent
book, with a good balance between the fun and the mystery. Yakov and Theo made
a good couple, even if the romance happened a bit fast. She had a lot going on
as she tried to make peace with her past and he was her stalwart support.
There was also a
secondary romance, between Yakov’s twin Pavel and E-Psy Arwen Mercant, which
has been going on for a couple of books already. It’s a nice, uncomplicated
romance, which is probably why it never made its own book. At the beginnings of
the chapters, we follow a heart-breaking story from the past during the time
the Psy first implemented Silence protocol. And there’s a buildup for Pax’s
story, which might end with him becoming the villain of the series—or the
saviour.
