About this book
The genre-defining and beloved first book in Nalini Singh's New York Times bestselling Psy-Changeling series.
“My favorite series of all time! Slave to Sensation is where the magic started, and I will never shut up about it.”—Ali Hazelwood, 1 New York Times bestselling author
“Utterly addictive and thrilling...this is hands down one of my favorite series ever!”—Ana Huang, 1 New York Times bestselling author
In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain.
After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her.
Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…

Several years ago I got hooked on Singh's Guild Hunter Series and just could not get enough of her imaginative novels. I was desperately waiting for the next book in the Guild Hunter Series when I thought I would give this series a try. Unfortunately, I never got interested enough to even finish it. I think it was because it was just too different from the Guild Hunter Series that I was hooked on, (and still am), that I could not even give this book a chance. Last week, out of desperation -...

I enjoyed reading about a whole new paranormal society. Nalini Singh creates a fantasy future unlike any other. She uses true California locations, based around the year 2080. Her world includes 3 types of species... human, changelings (predatory cat/ humans & wolf/ humans), and Singh's own creation: a species of people known as \"Psy\". The Psy have bred all emotions out of their people. They exist only for the sake of gaining power through cold efficiency. If any of their breed show emotion,...

I’ve been reading and re-reading this series since Slave to Sensation was first released in 2006. To say that it’s a favorite doesn’t begin to do it justice. Nalini Singh is one of my top favorite authors. I adore her writing. I love her characters. And even more amazing, I am absolutely enthralled with her worlds. Over the years I’ve moved away from reading primarily Romance novels (usually fantasy/paranormal based) to reading more Urban Fantasy, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi. Though I love my happy...

Oh, how I wish there was a way we reviewers can rate a writer’s entire series and not just the individual book. This book, Slave to Sensation, is the first of the Psy/Changeling series, which, at the time of this review, is up to 12 books (13 if you count the collection of novellas in Wild Invitation), with the newest in the series expected to come out in June 2014. I have read... okay, gobbled up - all of the books in this series, all in Kindle format. I have no complaints of the format Many...

I wanted SOOO much to like the book more than I did, especially after all the recommendations I've received for this author. However, the best I can say is... Not bad. There were some things I completely loved about the story, such as the extremely diverse cast of characters (the main reason I decided to go ahead and give it a try in spite of the-IMO-meh cover). I don't particularly like covers with real people on them unless they're uber hot, and the guy on the cover isn't exactly MY cup of...
