Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

Just so you clearly understand, not all the books I get sent are great literature. In fact last year I spent a week totally immobile and reading bodice rippers. Never heard that term, well it is an old fashioned term for the totally over the top romance genre. Nowadays that genre simply has to be set in some sort of supernatural world and at least one of the objects of lust has to have supernatural powers.

The plot is simple, boy meets girl. Instant chemistry, dark brooding eyes, etc. Eventually, and how much time it takes does vary, boy and girl kiss. But their power of their supernatural natures threatens their happiness. Some massive outside trauma forces them to realise that they are stronger together. Big sex scene. Happy ending.

In this book both of the lovers are supes. He is a changeling, more commonly known as a werewolf. She is a psychic, and her talent is in channelling energy. She has been told from childhood that one day she is going to go up like a bomb and take most of the continent with her. Guess what the trauma is – the Psy council want her back to be their ultimate weapon at about the same time as she can feel herself ‘going critical’. Will she be forced to leave her wolf lover? What do you think?

At this stage you are suspecting that I hated the book. Actually it wasn’t that bad. I found the supernatural world very comfortable, well at least I have read many far worse. And the battle scene was fantastic! Just the right amount of tension to keep the pages turning without getting silly. And I loved the ‘valve’.

But a suggestion, upload the ebook. You don’t want to be caught in public reading anything with this cover.
