#psy-changling series

[luimagines]

I saw you're notes in an ask:

Oooohhhh what books are you reading??😀

I've been reading the Psy-Changling Series by Nalini Singh.

I started with the second arc (Psy-Changilng Trinity) because I had no idea what it was but I got hooked literally on the first book I read (Wolf Rain). I've been wanted to go back and read the first arc.

I've been going through it. I'm lucky I read relatively quickly. I'm about to start book four since my books arrived last week. :D

character trope i love in fiction but would hate having to deal with in real life

The older woman who wants the best for her family, loves them, but the way she goes about protecting her family is absolutely toxic and abusive. Again in real life I would not want to deal with her, but in novels? the tragedy of a woman not being able to love her family in a way that allows them to love her back, and the tragedy of her being so traumatized by her own life that she can not see non-toxic ways of protecting her family. If you also like this trope i have a list of characters i think fit below the read more cut. some of these women are more toxic and terrible than others but they all scratch that itch of toxic tragic matriarch. Also if you have series recommendations for me based on this post please send them my way.

the luidaeg in the october daye novels by seanan mcguire

nikita duncan in the psy/changling series by nalini singh

victoria tremaine in the hidden legacy series by ilona andrews

Have you read the guild hunter series by nalini Singh or her psy/changling series because I feel like those books would be right up your alley

I can't say I've heard of them before but I just looked up Guild Hunter and I have to say it's caught my interest! It does sound like something that would be up my alley lol

#thankyou #I think I'm adding this to my tbr #asks

It was painful. I still wake up with pain occasionally in my knee. Tis’ how it goes I suppose. Vibrant colors are always nice, but they don’t go with some people’s complexion or attitude. I had a friend who was the nicest guy but morbidly depressed constantly - but loved wearing sunshine yellow. It was the most confusing thing sometimes when he walked into a room.

What’s your guilty pleasure podcast/tv show/ romance novel? Ha!

Might’ve forgotten to hit Anon 🤭

Maybe your friend was one of those who thought the bright yellow would cheer him up if he wore it?! As opposed to wearing dark colors that might just add to how he was feeling? 🤔

I don’t really do podcasts, though i probably should. I watch anything thriller for tv shows - currently binging Manifest. Romance novel….hmm. last one I read was by an Indian author, Nalini Singh. she has a romance, sci-fi series called Psy/Changling. and then there’s another one she has that im looking to read nextttt

What books may I ask?

Not sure which post this is referencing, I just finished "The Guild Hunter series" by Nalini Singh which is about 15 books including her novella compilation book,and it turns out she has another 14 book series called the Psy-Changling series

But if I understand the series synopsis is that this series takes place in world with shifters and feelings are regulated by the government? So I'm hmmmm on this one. I downloaded a sample to see how it goes

[wanderingpages]

this is really random but i prefer short chapters to long ones in books (fanfics are a different thing). i DESPISE books with 135 chapters (it's okay if they're short ones, i guess, like the traitor queen) and book series with 563 books in it, just takes away the charm, you know, and at some point the reader be like "when da hell is this gon get over".. oops

I get long chapters with fanfic becuase it’s just something you don’t get all at once so your willingly able to consume more

But to be honest I don’t think I’ve paid much attention to chapters in books I kinda just read until im at a spot I can safely cut it off to be picked back up later lol

But yeah series that go on forever.... I can forgive if it’s the same universe but different stories, kinda just interweaves previous characters but they’re not the main people anymore. I guess I mostly see that in new adult books though. I was genuinely obsessed with the Changling/Psy series by nalini Singh which is pretty much different couplings in the same universe and they all play a bigger picture in the battle scenes I guess. Kinda like the avengers and how everyone’s got their origin story and they all cross over and whatever lol. I don’t know it was interesting as hell until maybe book 11 👀 but the fact that I even made it that far has got to be testiment to something lol. I know kresley cole does this and j r ward too. T M Frazier does this too but could all be read as duos, stand-alone a or trilogies lol and it’s mostly formulaic but I’m such a sucker for all her work. I could only handle the first maybe 8 books of the Morganville vampire series and literally just looking at the list of books in the vampire diaries series was enough for me lmao. But seriously there’s only so much you can drag out from the plot at some point

Here is a very small portion of female characters and authors that have shaped my reading experience and taught me important life lessons between pages.

Richelle Mead wrote characters I craved to be when I was younger especially in Vampire Academy and Bloodlines but even now through strength and perseverance seen in her more adult series like Gameboard of the Gods.

Rachel Caine's character Joanne in the Weather Warden series is strength, sass and softness. She chose her path, blazed down it while it was hailing shit around her and looked good doing it.

Libba Bray taught me through A Great and Terrible Beauty that I didn't have to be an adult to shape my world or my peers.

Sarah J Maas wrote many, many female characters that all have aspects I admire. I think we can all agree that the biggest lessons were females are stronger together and physical power is not the definition of strength or status. I mean The Thirteen were a unit, a family and because of that changed everything. Where as you look at Elide, Sorscha and Yrene, I mean physical strength and mass did not make them powerful and iconic women that was all heart and courage.

Kirsten Cashore wrote about diversity and how acceptance of your fate didnt mean you became submissive or weak in the Graceling Realm books.

I mean Suzzane Collins needs no real spiel, she expanded the YA genre with The Hunger Games series. She wrote a female lead that cause death and distraction while battling with true emotion and the personal cost it may require.

Celine Kiernan wrote The Moorehawke Trilogy and I will forever be grateful. It was the first novel I read that wasnt a moeern day YA romance but something with adventure and a women with an intent to elicit change. She wrote a trilogy that bridged the gap from what I knew to what I now surround myself in.

Nalini Singh singlehandedly created my new love for the new adult/romance/fantasy/littlebuterotic books I used to jump from solely YA. The Guild Hunter and Psy-Changling series have female characters who are diverse and interesting, they are not clear cut carbon copies from on to the other.

John Marsden wrote the best Australian series of all time and no one will ever chnage my mind. Many of us dissected it in school but his representation of Australian grit amoungst all his characters, not just the women, was fantastic. Ellie was a revolutionary character for me to read about, she was tough and stubborn but John also made her delicate. Her moral and societal battles, and therefore impacts, where phenomenal in shaping strong adolescent women within Australian fiction in my opinion.

Jenny Downham wrote Before I Die the first book that made me sob. The first book to show me a sense of pain and peace all at once. Thank you.

Sarah Dessen was the writer I wanted to be every novel showed forgiveness, taught healthy love and rekationships, and proved change in environment and personal perspective are not to be feared.

I wish I’d been born in another time, another place. Then maybe I could’ve escaped fate. - Slave to Sensation by @authornalinisingh ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ This-Then Thursday, and it's another Nalini Singh book. Comparing it to @lainit too, which is weird because Laini writes in a really unique style. Both of these book feature a female lead with a secret she doesn't understand, a male that shows up, causing problems and revealing new pieces of her past. Slave to Sensation kicks off the Psy-Changling series, a series about shifters and the Psy, a race of psychics. I devoured this series last year and was not disappointed **expect some smut** ☆Do you like stories about shifters?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #amazingseries #daughterofsmokeandbone #slavetosensation #thisthen #lainitaylor #nalinisingh #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnAtFGgIs-/?igshid=1hdk693c0k659

ktrosesworld replied to your post “I’m trying to find read a likes for my book.  It’s not easy.  I found...”

Have a look at Nalini Singh's psy-changling series ... there's Wolf and leopard changlings and it's just a part of their genetic make up

I’ve tried to read Nalini Signh and I just couldn’t make it through it.  I think her’s was a little to emotionally detached and isn’t exactly a parallel to what I wrote.  I thought about Kresley Cole because of the world build but my Book One is firmly planted in werewolf pack stuff.  It’s more woman out of her element/arranged marriage/dark alpha male lusting for his lady/personal demons afflicting each of them type of thing.

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh dives beneath the surface of her Psy-Changeling world into a story of passionate devotion and selfless love... Security specialist Bowen Knight has come back from the dead. But there's a ticking time bomb in his head: a chip implanted to block telepathic interference that could fail at any moment--taking his brain along with it. With no time to waste, he should be back on land helping the Human Alliance. Instead, he's at the bottom of the ocean, consumed with an enigmatic changeling... Kaia Luna may have traded in science for being a chef, but she won't hide the facts of Bo's condition from him or herself. She's suffered too much loss in her life to fall prey to the dangerous charm of a human who is a dead man walking. And she carries a devastating secret Bo could never imagine... But when Kaia is taken by those who mean her deadly harm, all bets are off. Bo will do anything to get her back--even if it means striking a devil's bargain and giving up his mind to the enemy...

Ocean Light by Nalini Singh Bowen is a human man who has forgone an experimental operation to keep the psys out of his head. This operation implanted a chip, a chip that will eventually kill him and unless someone figures out a way to save him, he is a dead man walking. Kaia is an aquatic shifter, living in the science base at the bottom of the ocean. She has been hiding herself underwater after the tragic circumstance that surround her life. The last thing she needs to be is drawn to Bo, a man with an expiration date…but sometimes fate is a fickle thing. I love the Psy-Changeling world. And here comes the but... even though there is a few character crossovers, for the most part, this story takes place underwater in the aquatic changling realm with unfamiliar characters and little to no action till the last few chapters. I did really liked it and found it highly enjoyable but felt like I was starting a totally new series and the character connection was newly developing. By the end, I was hooked on Singh's new world and look forward to finding this world as familar as found in the original Psy-Changeling series. I received this ARC copy of Ocean Light from Berkley Publishing Group. This is my honest and voluntary review. Ocean Light is set for publication June 12, 2018.

[lalainajanes]

So far I have read and loved every book your rec'd. I wanna get into the Psy/Changling books but there are so many I don't know where to start. Have you read those?

I have read a few! I think the first 3 or 4 books in the series? I liked them but paranormal (or is it urban fantasy?) romance isn't my usual thing and I need to be in a specific mood. I actually recced them to my mom and she ended up loving them and buying the whole series so I will probably borrow the rest and read them eventually.
