Primal Mirror
Psy-Changeling Trinity Series - Book 8
By Nalini Singh
Berkley - July 2024
Paranormal Romance
The Psy-Changeling Trinity series, is a continuation of Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series. It is essentially the second story arc. For the most part, Primal Mirror does stand on its own, but new readers to this series might find starting with Silver Silence a good easy introduction into this world, although each story does contain spoilers to the previous story arc and characters. Accordingly, this review assumes that the reader has read the previous stories in Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series. Personally, I highly suggest reading the entire full series in order.
Auden Scott was the daughter of not one but two powerful ruthless former Councilors. But the Council, and her parents were no longer. Not that they were parental in the traditional sense. She had pleasant memories of her father, but he had given her up to her ruthless mother after a botched procedure. Now, she existed where periods of her memory were gone. Those around her performed test after test that she didn’t understand. Tests that she feared not only for herself, but the child she carried. For unlike her parents, she cared and wished to protect her child.
Remi Denier was intrigued by the psy woman who would come to the cabin next to RainFire's border. The psychometric psy could feel the imprint of memories and emotions of items she touched. She intrigued him on multiple layers. She was a woman who obviously cared and feared for her unborn child, but there were times when she just wasn't herself. Her speech, behavior and even more disturbing, her smell changed. It was as if Auden wasn't Auden. Remi was determined to help Auden understand what was happening to her and protect her and her baby from the unknown threat.
He wanted them safe, just as he quickly realized he wanted them to be his family.
Primal Mirror is a fun romance with a heroine who has a fascinating ability and a hero who is alpha of a pack readers will remember well. I was excited to learn Remi would have his romance, and intrigued to learn more about the daughter of two Councilors who had been the definition of evil. Seeing everyday experiences for a Ps-Psy was an added bonus. I look forward to the next Psy-Changeling story.
