Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh

image

This is the 12th book in Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series. I was definitely excited to get this book since Nalini has been teasing fans ever since the last book was released. Everyone knew that this was going to be Kaleb's book despite Nalini hiding the title of the book until a month or so before the release date. 

I wasn't really a fan of Kaleb at first because he seemed like he was going to end up being the bad guy. However, this book really showed us a different side of Kaleb. We find out about his childhood, actually his lack of a childhood, which made him the man he is today. We see Kaleb as not only the most powerful Psy alive, but we also see how he views himself and the fate of the Psy. 

The book started off at the heart of the story. We find Kaleb with a woman that he recently found/rescued. Her identity is not revealed right away, but readers find out that Kaleb has been looking for her for a long time. Seven years to be exact. 

Sahara knew Kaleb before she disappeared. However, after years of torture, she has kept herself locked away from the world to keep her mind safe. She does not remember Kaleb at first, and she slowly has to get used to the world again. 

Out of all the books in these series, Kaleb and Sahara's story is one of my favorites (Along with Mercy & Riley's, and Brenna & Judd's). I could really feel Kaleb's love towards Sahara and he never gave up. It also helped that Nalini didn't add too many other scenes with other characters. She mostly focused on the Psy in this book and it made sense because a lot of things are going on in their world. 

I definitely recommend this book and I'm looking forward to the next one. However, I'm slowly getting the feeling that the series is slowly coming to and end.
