Very enjoyable.
I didn't like Vaughn's pushing in the beginning, but it was not serious enough to be a problem.
Other than that, nice characters, enjoyable story. Nothing high-brow, perfect for a few hours' escape. ( )

Another great installment in the world of Psy and changelings.

World building was good. We didn't see many places with Faith's home and the forest/aerie being most prominent.

Character development was very good. We got a lot of insight into Faith's mind and reasoning, we got to know her fears of cascading and her fear of letting go.
As with the first book, for the Psy to go from Silence to feeling is very well written.
Vaughn was a great character, well thought out and he felt real. And I loved reading more about Sacha and Lucas :D Looking forward to all the interaction that is to come.

Pacing and flow were very good with enough action and excitement to counteract the conversations.
The main story arc is moving along nice and slowly (but not too slowly :D).

The book itself was well written with no (noticeable) errors. And yes, there is sex described in this book (shocking... I know :p).

All in all, I enjoyed the book, it was a very smooth and enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next installment! ( )

I liked it enough to read the whole thing. I still find the Psy and their rejection of emotion fascinating, but the Alpha stuff bothers me. I'm still debating with myself if my fascination with the world Singh is building here is enough to get over my eye-rolling when I read the Pack dynamics of the Changelings. I'm currently undecided. ( )

This story is as nice as Slave to Sensation. On to the next. Hopefully it is as enjoyable. ( )

So, I'm showing off the features of my spiffy early Christmas present, a Kindle Voyage, and one of my coworkers asks what I'm reading on it.

Me: Um...Visions of Heat

a pause

Me, a bit sheepishly: It's a sexy book.

It's funny. I don't have extensive knowledge of paranormal romance, but if this series is any indication, the genre has quite the loophole going for its characters. If the supernatural elements weren't present, the readers would want the men in these books locked up. They're possessive, they're pushy, they're handsy, and they act like stalkers. But since the leads in this series are not human, but shape-shifters, all their questionable behavior can be chalked up to "Well, he's a cat." So instead of urging the women to run for their lives, we're counting down to the inevitable declaration of love for the ages and the steamy sex. And the claiming of mates. That happens too.
I can make fun, I can laugh and shake my head at myself, but I do like this series. Singh really knows how to build the sexual tension, and her characters are likable enough. The world is interesting, and it opened it up a lot at the end of the second book. The world is getting bigger and the mystery of what's going on in the PsyNet has ramped up.
The over-the-top relationships amongst the DarkRiver pack hold an odd appeal for me too. The writing can get gushy, and I did a fair amount of eye-rolling with this second book, but as much as these books are about hot men wholly committing to the one woman who can fulfill them (which they tend to know after a few days' acquaintance, if not sooner), they're also about people finding themselves and a place to belong. And hey, if that happens to be in the company of very sexual beings who can't keep their hands off you, well that's just part of the package when you get mixed up with shape-shifting jaguars and leopards and whatnot. Everyone knows that. ( )
