Week 44 Reviews: Alpha Night, Last Guard

From Goodreads:
New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to her breathtaking Psy-Changeling Trinity series with a mating that shouldn't exist…

Alpha wolf Selenka Durev's devotion to her pack is equaled only by her anger at anyone who would harm those under her care. That currently includes the empaths who've flowed into her city for a symposium that is a security nightmare, a powder keg just waiting for a match.

Ethan Night is an Arrow who isn't an Arrow. Numb and disengaged from the world, he's loyal only to himself. Assigned as part of the security force at a world-first symposium, he carries a dark agenda tied to the power-hungry and murderous Consortium. Then violence erupts and Ethan finds himself crashing into the heart and soul of an alpha wolf.

Mating at first sight is a myth, a fairytale. Yet Selenka's wolf is resolute: Ethan Night, broken Arrow and a man capable of obsessive devotion, is the mate it has chosen. Even if the mating bond is full of static and not quite as it should be. Because Selenka's new mate has a terrible secret, his mind surging with a power that is a creature of madness and death…

From Goodreads:

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to a world devastated by change in her award-winning Psy-Changeling Trinity series, where two people defined by their aloneness hold the fate of the Psy in their hands…

Termed merciless by some, and a robotic sociopath by others, Payal Rao is the perfect Psy: cardinal telekinetic, CEO of a major conglomerate, beautiful—and emotionless.

For Canto Mercant, family and loyalty are everything. A cardinal telepath deemed "imperfect" by his race due to a spinal injury, Canto cares for the opinions of very few—and ruthlessly protects those he claims as his own. Head of intel of the influential Mercant family, he prefers to remain a shadow in the Net, unknown and unseen. But Canto is also an Anchor, part of a secretive designation whose task it is to stabilize the PsyNet. Now that critical psychic network is dying, threatening to collapse and kill the entire Psy race with it.

To save those he loves, Canto needs the help of a woman bound to him by a dark past neither has been able to forget. A woman who is the most powerful Anchor of them all: Payal Rao. Neither is ready for the violent inferno about to ignite in the PsyNet…or the passionate madness that threatens to destroy them both.

My first review of Alpha Night, Last Guard

My Review:
I loved rereading these books! I know I only just read Last Guard not that long ago, but I wanted to be in this world longer, and already, I was forgetting what roles that Canto and Payal played in this world, so I had to refresh my memory!

Alpha Night brought us back to Russia, and I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of a wolf alpha and a damaged Arrow who didn't fit in with the others. He was flirting with the idea of being a bad guy, until meeting Selenka pulled him on a completely new path! 

On the other hand, Canto and Payal are both damaged, they had horrible childhoods but he had a loving family to come back to, and she had a monster of a family-besides her sister. But they did have those childhood memories, so they had some pretty interesting dynamics!

So much happens to develop the overarching plot in this series, and I'm on baited breath to see what is going to happen next with the net. With each book, there's both hope and loss and I don't know how things are going to turn out but I can't wait to find out! 

Loved reading these books again, and I can't wait to see where this series goes from here!
