“I love how Nalini Singh can make you feel so much with just a couple of words or sentences.” ~Under the Covers

There are several reasons why you WILL fall in love with Vasic.  He’s loyal, he’s fierce, he’s caring, he’s protective, he’s possessive.  He’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a man all wrapped up in a deep layer of ice.  Ice that has hardened to a glacier throughout the years.  But that ice is slowly cracking.  The Arrows are some of the psy’s who follow Silence as a necessary way of life.  The conditioning they’ve received since they were kids is both harsh and heartbreaking.

Now that Silence has fallen, Vasic is being put to the ultimate test to prove he can still function without going mad.  He’s assigned, along with other Arrows, to guard a group of Designation “E” Psy’s.  The future of the net lies in their hands and how much they can heal the infection and contain it, preventing it from spreading.  The Arrows are to keep them safe when they are at their most vulnerable.  Vasic is assigned to Ivy Jane, an empath who never really lived with Silence as others did, because her parents saved her from that fate.  The little bit of her curiosity and innocence is the key to winning Vasic over.  And that was my favorite part!  The innocence!

First though, I have a confession to make.  Psy books are not my favorite in this series.  When there’s no changeling in sight I tend to lose interest because, in part, of how cold and mechanical the psy can be.  I shouldn’t have worried though.  Ms. Singh did such an amazing job at humanizing Vasic and Ivy that I never even noticed a difference.  Their feelings were palpable, and I was able to appreciate the little things even more.  The importance of just a touch, or just a look.  It can drive the story forward more than an explosion of passion.

This story is a slow and steady climb, full of tensions and discoveries.  Vasic’s barriers are broken one tiny piece at a time.  And the more he opens up, the more you fall for this broken beautiful man.  Ivy is just the woman to give him a true life back.  The one that was stolen from him years ago.  And he embraces it full force!

I love how Nalini Singh can make you feel so much with just a couple of words or sentences.  Every book I crack open I am more amazed at the powerful and just beautiful writing.  It’s rich and fulfilling, depicting the world, the characters and the emotions in a way that’s riveting.

Let SHIELD OF WINTER be that book that lets you sink into a magical world.  You won’t be disappointed!
