Slave to Sensation


Book Description

THE FIRST PSY/CHANGELING NOVEL from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian... The book that Christine Feehan called "a must-read for all of my fans." In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…

She's spent the majority of her life on the run with her brother, Matty, hiding from the dangerous world of the fae and the gangs of human magic-users who rule their realm. Now, a chance encounter with a mysterious trio of strangers in small-town Pipe Valley will question everything she knows. The trio is chasing a rumor surrounding the two runaway children of notorious prisoner Rena Hayashi. For necromancer Simon, AKA the Reaper of Minneapolis, twins Percy and Will are his only stability, and the arrival of the Livingstones is an unwanted threat. When it turns out that their bounty comes from the bloodthirsty Water Lily regime, the five must work together, and Viola has no choice but to dive deeper into a world she swore she'd stay away from...
