Week 10 Review: Storm Echo

From Goodreads:

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into the hearts of two fractured people in a world on the brink of a psychic Armageddon . . .

Silence has fallen. The Psy are free to feel emotion. Free to love. But Silence was never a prison for Ivan Mercant. The biggest threat to his future lies dormant in his brain—a psychic monster that wants only to feed. And now, the brutal leash he's kept on that monster is slipping. He prepared for this day, for the end of Ivan Mercant . . . but that was before he met Lei.

As primal as she is human, this wild changeling brings color into his life, laughter to his soul. Then the dream shatters in a rain of blood, in silent bodies in the snow. Lei is gone. Vanished without a trace . . . until he meets strangely familiar eyes across a busy San Francisco street.

Soleil Bijoux Garcia is a healer who has lost everything. She exists in a world of desolate aloneness . . . till the day she finds herself face-to-face with a lethal stranger. The animal who is her other half knows this man, but her memories are tattered fragments. Sorrow and a need for vengeance are all that drive her. Her mission? To kill the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack.

But fate has other plans. Soon, a deadly soldier who believes himself a monster and a broken healer might be all that stand between life and death for the entire Psy race. . .

My Review:
I absolutely loved reading this book! When I saw I was approved, I immediately dropped my current read, and rearranged my TBR so I could read this right then and there, and then picked up and basically didn't stop reading it until I finished, and it was so great!

At this point, Mercant's have been a member of the romance for half of Trinity series, though I don't think there's any more of the grandchildren to get full length stories, since Arwen does have a romance, so he could get a shorter story, or keep popping up in the background other books.

Getting to know Ivan and Lei was so fantastic! I don't think we've really seen then before, but we've seen people connected to them before, obviously, like I said, Mercant's have been a big part of this series, but the people who are connected to Lei, well, they're an important part of her story! 

Their romance was really great-and it was told in a bit of a different way, because we have their initial meeting and getting to know each other. And then we skip over a year, and that was different for this series and I really enjoyed it! The conflict as to why they shouldn't mate was really compelling to read!

Really enjoyed what we learned from his abilities, both for what they can do for the Psy-Net, as well as the conclusions that were made! I'm so excited to see where it goes from here, because what happened was a pretty big deal, and just the first major move, and I can't wait for more!

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for the next book!
