The blurb:
Clay Bennett is a powerful DarkRiver sentinel, but he grew up in
the slums with his human mother, never knowing his changeling father.
As a young boy without the bonds of Pack, he tried to stifle his
animal nature. He failed...and committed the most extreme act of
violence, killing a man and losing his best friend, Talin, in the
bloody aftermath. Everything good in him died the day he was told
that she, too, was dead.
Talin McKade barely survived a childhood drenched in bloodshed and terror. Now a new nightmare is stalking her life--the street children she works to protect are disappearing and turning up dead. Determined to keep them safe, she unlocks the darkest secret in her heart and returns to ask the help of the strongest man she knows...
Clay lost Talin once. He will not let her go again, his hunger to possess her, a clawing need born of the leopard within. As they race to save the innocent, Clay and Talin must face the violent truths of their past...or lose everything that ever mattered.
The Review:
This book hooked me from the start. I
couldn't stop reading it. I had to find out what happend.
It crackled with tension from the
start. I loved the fact that both Clay and Talin had scars from their childhood. I could almost touch Talin's hesitation over how
Clay would react to seeing her again.
A lot of the tension in this book came
from their past, and the struggle to move past it. But, that is not
all that is going on.Amidst all this, they are running
against the clock to find Talin's missing charges.
I could almost touch Talin's worry.
Worry over her health, worry over if they would find the children.
I loved how Nalini Singh revealed yet
another layer of the world in this book, revealing just how debated
the Silence had been when it was introduced 100 years earlier.
So, What I didn't like. I didn't like
the POV's from Ashaya and Jon. Yes, I know that they were necessary,
and that they set up for the next book, but I was so focused on
Talin's and Clay's story that it just annoyed me.

I love this series so frickin much. When I first read this book I didn't like it as much as the first 3 books. But I have to say I reread it recently and I loved it the second time around. I didn't really mind reading Ashaya's bits but I know what you mean about wanting to focus on Clay and Talin.
