But beneath that cover lies a woman fighting to escape from the clutches of the Psy Council who are holding her son captive to force her to work on an implant that will basically enslave her entire race. Ashaya manages to free herself and her son, only to land in DarkRiver hands. Dorian Christensen may not be able to change into a leopard but he is one of the deadliest most anti-psy members of DarkRiver and when he finds Ashaya he is drawn into the biggest conflict of his life. This is the fifth book in the Psy-Changeling series (after Slave to Sensation , Visions of Heat , Caressed by Ice and Mine to Possess ). This is one of my favourite paranormal romance series, and I was really excited to read this as Ashaya was introduced in the previous book and the storyline about her son set up. Ashaya traded favours with DarkRiver in the previous book and now she has called in her favour - DarkRiver are to rescue her son from his Psy captors. Ashaya also manages to escape and ends up in DarkRiver territory, but has not only the Psy after her but human groups as well. It took me a long time to warm to Ashaya and she's probably my least favourite heroine of the series so far. I don't dislike her, but I can't identify with her. However I loved how her relationship with Dorian developed, especially as he is so vehemently opposed to all things psy. Unlike the previous books, this has journal and letter snippets at the start of many of the chapters. While they provide insight into Ashaya's mind I found them distracting and they interferred with the pacing of the book at times. After Ashaya's escape the revelations and development of the world occurs quickly and these snippets were a little irritating. As usual the world is developed further, with some Psy councillors receiving a bit more backstory along with some changelings, Mercy in particular. Ashaya's actions create major ripples in the psy world so I'm interested in seeing how that plays out, as well as how the new psy and human groups are developed. All in all, this was another great read and I can't wait to get stuck into Branded by Fire . Plot: 10/10 Characters: 9/10 Ending: 10/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 Cover: 8/10 Overall: 46/50 Review: Love this series ; ) - As a huge fan of Ms Feehans' Dark Carpathians and J R Wards' Black Dagger Brotherhood i am always looking for an absorbing new series that grabs my attention and this one certainly did. Not only did i thoroughly enjoy this book but i have since read and enjoyed the whole series that follows, i can give no greater recommendation than that. I will not spoil the plot by writing spoilers etc but will say that the depth of the characters as they are introduced and the fact that each book follows on where the last left off builds the readers anticipation for the next book and story. Previous characters feature in subsequent books so its nice to keep up with them and further explore the ones that soon become favorites. I would highly recommend this book and the whole series to any fan of the fantasy genre especially anyone who , like me, has always enjoyed Ms Feehan and Ms Wards characters, stories and worlds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Book 5 of 15 | Psy-Changeling | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,238) | | Dimensions | 12.6 x 3 x 19.6 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0575100036 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0575100039 | | Item weight | 330 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | 10 Mar. 2011 | | Publisher | Gollancz | ## Images ![Hostage to Pleasure - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ONMxDVDJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sniper and the psy *by C***G on 31 March 2011* On the surface Ashaya Aleine appears to be the perfect Psy - cool, calm and emotionless.
