Last Guard

I absolutely love, love, LOVE this book!!! When a new Nalini book comes out, I always think, “Surely she can’t do any better than the last book, can she?” She sure as heck can! OMG this story is so amazing! It’s captivating, entertaining, enchanting and I couldn’t put it down! Last Guard pivots from previous storylines and shows us a different side of the Psy-Changeling Universe: The Anchor Designation. Sound confusing? Well if you are new to the series, it just might be. The Psy-Changeling world is set in a futuristic world with three races: Humans, Human/animal shifters referred to as Changelings, and the Psy, a society of people with dangerous psychic talents who suppress all emotion, relying solely on logic. Just think of the Psy as a bunch of Spocks, except they don’t have an awesome greeting 😀 Now, the Psy’s psychic abilities are classified in groups called designations. Examples of these designations are TK-Psy: Telekinetics (can move stuff without touching it), TP-Psy: Teleport-capable, F-Psy: Foresight (can see the future or possible futures) and the list goes on. If you haven’t read the series yet, I highly recommend each and every book! There’re a lot of surprises too! So, the Anchor Designation is not a new designation, just one that has been kept secret for over a 100 years. Anchors perform a very specific and vital function for the health and wellness of the Psy and the PsyNet--what the Psy race needs to survive. It’s so exciting! Ms. Singh unfolds yet ANOTHER facet of this ever-changing landscape and gifts us with new discoveries! Payal and Canto are wonderful characters! I absolutely LOVE them together. I felt that they balanced each other well and I loved how protective they are of each other. With the introduction of the Anchor Designation, we are introduced to new characters but are also treated to a revisit with some old ones! I don’t know how much happiness my heart could take! Yes, I’m gushing! Sorry! I just can’t help it! What I absolutely love about Ms. Singh is her ability to craft her characters. In her stories, everyone deserves a happily ever after, regardless of race, sex, creed, religion, sexual orientation or disability. Her diverse characters and poignant storylines define her as an author, a master storyteller and it's what has readers flocking to bookstores every time a new Nalini book comes out. And Last Guard is no exception. I haven’t talked much about the book because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. You gotta experience this read on your own. I am so excited to learn more about the Anchor Designation and I’m curious to know just how many other secrets the Psy-Changeling world has to tell. **I voluntarily read a copy of the book generously provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review**

well written. I couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting.

Chomping at the bit for the next book in the series.
