From the first sentence, it is immersed in the atmosphere, we seem to hear the bass and captivating voice of the narrator of some dark movies as Max who told his story in "dark angel" or in the movies Selena Underworld likewise refer to the facts set film "equilibrium", when telling us how psi were led to no longer have the right to feel any emotion.
The world is made of humans, changelings (Weres) and psi psychic powers as they think themselves masters of the world. For 3 years, atrocious murders are committed on changelings who demand vengeance, and Lucas, the leader of the pack of dark leopards River was given the task of tracking down the killer would be a psi, to avoid war between the species, the changeling claiming to avenge their blood for the psi retaliating would show no mercy. To do so, he decided to infiltrate the PsyNet, a kind of matrix psi (which reminds me of the "Cerebro" Professor Xavier in X-Men) enjoying a real estate project developed by psi to provide housing for changelings. Nikita, a member of Psi Council instructs its daughter Sasha to complete this project while having a second thought. Sasha is a cardinal but also deficient, that is to say, it feels emotions that might lead her straight to the "rehabilitation" if someone realized it
The Lucas-Sasha relationship, made me think somehow that of Charles and Anna Lucas because the animal before its human part, has been immediately attracted to the young woman, who must protect themselves from emotions to do not get lost. However, unlike Garou couple, their relationship evolves gently, subtly, deeply, and leaves us a taste of fullness, peaceful sensations that persist long after reading this story I found fascinating. Lucas is a powerful alpha male and behaves as such with Sasha and his pack, he is possessive, overbearing, protective, and tender. Sasha her, under its little icy virgin, is fragile, intelligent, wounded, bruised, alone, but proves strong, determined and strong with that leopard man and his pack.
The investigation to confuse the murderer is conducted smoothly because for once, I could not have any suspicion about his identity, thus leaving us in a breathless suspense. Intimate scenes are well described, bolder, tender, warm between Elena and Raphael, making us feel very sentimental relationship between our two heroes. The secondary characters are endearing, and I hope we soon discover their story in the following volumes.
This book is a pure delight, confirming the talent of its author, and I'm sure to throw myself on each of its aeuvres now ...
