Obsidian
is a shiny, black piece of volcanic rock. I chose this for my O post
in the Challenge because I have recently read a book by my favourite
author, Nalini Singh. The title is Heart of Obsidian and I have once
again confirmed her as my favourite.
The
story is part of a series, but I am not going to go into those
details. Heart of Obsidian is the story of Councillor Caleb Krychek.
You meet him in some of the earlier books, and no, he is not a nice
guy. In fact you believe him to be the worst of the worst by the time
you get to this book.
And
no, he doesn't suddenly become this cute guy that likes teddy bears
and plays nice with the kids. The author never deviates from the
character established in earlier books and that is one of the things
I loved about the story.
But
can bad guys be misunderstood? What motivates him? What drives him to
do the things he did? Can someone like him find love?
If
you like paranormal romance this Psy-Changeling series might be right
up your alley. And Heart of Obsidian? I loved the story because it
delved into the deepest darkest recesses of the human (Psy?) mind to
find the one thing that can, and sometimes will, motivate us to
commit murder.
It
is not a pretty and fluffy hero story, but it was different and an
out-of-the-box romance. If you read as many romance books as I do,
you will find this story unusual for the genre. I couldn't put it
down and sacrificed many hours of sleep to find out if Caleb could
find love before it was too late.
My
rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
