Silver Silence by Nalini SinghMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this spin-off from the Pay-Changeling series.
Silver Mercant is a Psy. She manages a worldwide emergency response network whilst also acting as Kaleb Krycheck's assistant.
Valentin Nikolaev is alpha of the StoneWater bears, big, Russian, jovial, he courts Silver in bear fashion by find new and ingenious ways of getting into her secure apartment block to deliver papers and invite her to dinner. One morning Valentin comes to her door only for Silver to collapse, someone has attempted to poison her nutritional supplement. With suspicion falling on her own family, Silver's grandmother, the head of the Merchant family, decides the only place where she can be safe is with the StoneWater bears.
I just loved this, I loved the bears and the way they are actually very intelligent and sneaky but like to hide that behind a facade of fighting and drinking and humour. As befits the start of a new series the novel is more about people and relationships than the over-reaching arc, although there is still the shadow of conspiracies to overthrow Trinity (the new alliance between Psy, humans and changelings).
Awesome!
