Dive into a world torn apart by a powerful race with phenomenal powers of the mind—and none of the heart…
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 co-existence, 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…

The Psy-Changeling series is one of the series that I will not mind re-reading anytime and anywhere even if the series currently has thirteen books. It's one of the few books that manages to pull me out of a reading slump.
Before I get started, the copy that I used for this review was given to me via Netgalley. I already had one but when I saw this on NG, I clicked Request before I realized what was happening. So here I go.

To say that the world-building in this book was marvelous could be an understatement, Nalini Singh managed to create a world where it was so easy to believe that it could exist. Slave to Sensation was narrated in a way that absorbing information about this world was effortless which I found good because even if I read a lot of paranormal romance books, the introduction of a world was always the most complex part in a story for me. Although, there were times when you had to pay close attention or else you'd miss critical details when it came to how the PsyNet and a Psy's mind operated.
I loved how each characters were created. You'd find yourself being attached to the secondary characters, more so with the main. Sascha gradually unraveled her personality as she embraced her emotions instead of purging them. With Lucas, it was hard for him to admit that he was falling for a woman who happened to be with the enemy but the panther in him recognized his mate and he was determined not to let her go.
This book was just the beginning of a long and complicated journey which was the only reason why I didn't give this five stars.
Slave to Sensation is a brilliant concoction of romance, suspense and action that set my standards when it comes to Paranormal Romance. This is a must-read!
