Where are the broken? A propulsive question that unleashes a world of secrets in New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s Resonance Surge . . .

StoneWater bears Pavel and Yakov Stepyrev have been a unit since birth, but now Pavel’s life is veering in a new direction, his heart held in the hands of Arwen Mercant, a Psy empath—and the only man who has ever brought Pavel to his knees.

This is it. A point of irrevocable change. For Pavel . . . for Arwen . . . for Yakov . . . and for another pair of twins whose bond has a far darker history.

A low-gradient Psy, Theodora Marshall is considered worthless by everyone but her violently powerful twin, Pax. She is the sole person he trusts in their venomous family to investigate a hidden and terrible part of their family history—an unregistered rehabilitation center established by their grandfather.

Places of unimaginable pain designed to psychically wipe minds, leaving the victims shells of their former selves, the Centers are an ugly vestige of the Psy race’s Silent past. But this Center was worse. Far, far worse. And now Theo must uncover the awful truth—in the company of a scowling bear named Yakov who isn’t about to take a Marshall at face value . . . especially a Marshall who has turned his dreams into chilling nightmares.

Because Yakov is the great-grandson of a foreseer . . . and he has seen Theo die in an unstoppable surge of blood. Night after night after night . . .

Resonance Surge by Nalini Singh is the 7th book in the Psy Changeling Trinity series and we're back in Moscow for this one! Theo, the granddaughter of Marshall Hyde has always been dispensable when compared to her powerful twin, Pax who now suffers from Scarab Syndrome. Now that he's taken over their family he has discovered some problems and as he trusts her the most, he asks her to investigate a secretive center established by their (horrible)grandfather in Moscow. Yakov, a StoneWater bear is assigned to work with her on this and he's surprised to meet her because she's the girl of his dreams - literally 😂 because she's been in his dreams for years, but now they've turned into nightmares that feature her death😶

I love a Psy-Changeling pairing since they're always so much fun and there's nothing better than a mischievous bear shifter trying to get his Psy mate to give him a chance!😆 We actually have two pairs of couples in this one with Theo and Yakov, and also a secondary one with Yakov's twin Pavel and his E psy boyfriend - Arwen! It's been so much fun watching Pavel slowly woo Arwen over the course of the last few books so I'm glad they finally got together in this one!

I loved the sibling bonds between both pairs of twins and how they always had each other's backs through everything! Theo and Yakov's relationship development was fantastic too - with how patient and caring Yakov is. He gives her just the right amount of security and love that she needs! I loved the glimpses that we got about the pre-Silence period through the letters of Yakov and Pavel's grandfather to his family! They did a good job of showing how much thought was put into the choice of Silence and why it was done, but also how it fragmented families. This is what I love about this series because it shows every aspect of a conflicting decision. Nalini Singh is one of my favorite writers and she's always been talented at writing emotional stories with amazing characters! 

Anyway, I loved this addition to the series and I'll stop gushing about this one now. I'm very excited for the next book in the series and I really hope it's Pax(I'm very eager for his story and the last time I felt this way was for Kaleb!). If you're looking for a PNR series with amazing characters and a unique and well developed world, give this one a chance! It's one of my all time favorite series!❣️✨

I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.

I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).

So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.
