Arrows

Rageane — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:07:55 GMT

Okay, I expected Vasic to be a rebel, not half the Arrow squad!! Ming has his days numbered...seriously!! Now the question is, will they work with Kaleb or not?

So.....

Katherine — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:58:36 GMT

I finally got a hold of a copy and read and read and read and....really liked it. Not as much as I liked Mercy and Riley's book, but it was still very good. Question: Am I the only one who--for about 10-20 pages thought that Katya was going to die? I kept telling myself that Nalini is an Romance author, not a SF/F author but still, a large part of me was pretty worried. I LOVED Judd in this book. To me, he has become sort of the series soul. I already liked him, but in this book I ...

Hawke and Sienna?

lili — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:28:31 GMT

Does anyone think that these two are destined to be mated? Is their relationship inevitable?

Personally, I hope not, just because it'll be a little too obvious in my opinion. I'm hoping Nalini will throw a huge curve ball and Hawke will mate with someone we haven't met yet and Sienna will have her own story later.

What does everyone else think?

Sienna

Katherine — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:38:17 GMT

In Branded by Fire, we learned that the X power is extremely dangerous. Not just to others, but to the Psy who has it. Its so dangerous that Sascha thinks that Cardinal X-Psys are a myth...that they couldn't possibly survive to adulthood and that even those with a moderate amount of X power usually killed themselves with their own "gifts".

So I'm wondering: How has Sienna Lauren managed to live so long?

Judd

CyndeB — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:43:14 GMT

Love love love, his interaction with the kids now. I've always liked him but now he is just a sweety. Ok well he has sweety tendancies. Hope we get to see more of him and the William boy.

PS I KNEW it was Eakaterina who was going to be Dev's heroine. (just have to blow my own horn )

Kaleb Krycheck

rystyn_4728 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 05:23:22 GMT

What do you think of Kaleb Krycheck?

Enchanted Season

tajohn — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:49:36 GMT

I never read Nalmi's short story: Beast of Tempation" in the Enchanted season anthology. Truthfully I'm only intrested in her story and none of the others. Anyone know where I could just get her story only? Thanks.

Have fun everybody!

Katherine — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:23:52 GMT

It never occurred to me that I might not be able to find this book before it came out. But I haven't. So I haven't read it. :-(. So y'all have fun talking about it, and I'll join you as soon as I get my hands on it.

Hi

tajohn — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:46:14 GMT

I'm new to the site. My name is Tajohn and love Nalmi's books. Love her worldbuilding and inclusion of everyone. Fantastic writer all around. I love sci fi too so Nalmi is the perfect writer combing both of my loves.

comparing Mine to possess with Im Feuer der Nacht

Merle — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:22:22 GMT

Hello, I´m from Germany and my favorite book is Mine to Possess. I have read it so often that the book is in danger to break into loose pages. So I bought the German edition Im Feuer der Nacht. After reading I have mixed feelings. So I have a few questions for the readers who read both books, too. My impression of the translation is that it was done in a hurry. The violence scenes (Orrin) were tuned down. Some sentences seems to be translated word for word. Sometimes the content of sentences ...

Max's Story as next novel

Michele — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:03:11 GMT

Would someone refresh my memory on Max? I don't really recall his character from Mine to Possess.

Thanks!

Blaze of Memory

Katherine — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:22:26 GMT

I managed to find a copy of Branded By Fire almost two weeks before it came out. Blaze of Memory is due out on TUESDAY. Which means its probably on shelves already. So, time to start hunting. However, what I said about Branded By Fire holds true now. I don't want us talking about it until after November third. I'll be setting up another Spoiler's forum, and I've already asked Nalini about doing a Q&A. And this time I promise to give better warning than I did last time. < ...

Spoilers Forum -- when should it open?

Katherine — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:47:45 GMT

So I was about to launch a locked version the Blaze of Memory spoilers forum, but then I hit a quandry...when to unlock it. Technically I can lock and unlock them anytime I want, but I think y'all would appreciate a little advanced noticed, no? ;-) At first I was planning to unlock it on November 3rd. But then I remembered that there are a lot of people who don't have bookstores just down the street and some of you are going to have to have it delivered to your Kindles or homes from Amazon ...

Stroke of Enticement - Psy boy

hisgirl85 — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:10:11 GMT

I recently went through a read through of the five psy-changling books and the two published short stories. In "Stroke of Enticement" ***SPOILERS*** there was mention of a psy boy who helped Annie by lifting wreckage from her leg before teleporting away. So, not only was the boy powerful with TK, but also a traveler perhaps? I was wondering if this a character we will meet again, or have already met? Vasic perhaps? Kaleb? Someone else? Someone new? I don't know what it was ...

A theory (or two) about Hawke

Katherine — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:56:29 GMT

I think Hawke is one of the Forgotten. I think that's why he knew about Empaths even before meeting Sascha. It might even be how he knew about the PsyNet. I also think that the Psy must have hunted him and his family and possibly killed his (and Riley's) parents, and that's why he hates Psy with such a passion.

Welcome!!!

Katherine — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:35:06 GMT

Welcome my forum! These are still something of a work in progress, but as far as I can tell everything does work, so please POST and have fun. Oh yeah, rules: 1) Everybody is entitled to an opinion. EVERYBODY. Doesn't matter how much you disagree with them, they are still entitled to that opinion. 2) Opinions that consist of little more than personal attacks will be deleted. Users who repeatedly post personal attacks will be banned. 3) Lets keep the swearing to a minimum. 4) No ...

Theme songs...

Fuarie — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:49:38 GMT

I took a road trip with my loveable hubby recently and I was reading MtP while he was driving...then a Red Hot Chili peppers song came on and all I could think about is how the sound reminded me of Clay.

What other songs or bands would fit the other characters? Discuss away!

Quick Note

Katherine — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:22:27 GMT

Since Blaze of Memory will be coming out in about a month, I decided it was time to merge the old Spoilers forum topics into the main book forum.

Krychek

Katherine — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:15:04 GMT

Having now read BBF, I'm wondering, was Krychek Enrique's accomplice, or was he a victim?

OUt of curiosity

Katherine — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:44:25 GMT

Nalini said that she originally had Mercy paired up with someone other than Riley. She won't say who, but it still makes an interesting question to ponder.

Who do you think Nalini originally had Mercy paired with?

Archangel's Kiss Blurb

CyndeB — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:01:15 GMT

In case you hadn't noticed. Amazon has a small blurb up on A.K. Sounds really good.. . ..

Confused!

Fuarie — Sun, 10 May 2009 21:16:50 GMT

Okay I have been reading Caressed by Ice and I got to the part where Brenna asked Hawke about why he hadn't taken a mate and he told her that his mate died when he was 10 and she was 5....sooo....umm how is he going to get his own book? And do Bren and Judd ever get bonded? I thought the male changeling was the one that connected the mating bond but I feel bad for her not being able to feel that.

Anthony

Fuarie — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 06:17:47 GMT

I can't for the life of me remember what designation he was...Was it ever mentioned what he is?

Branded By Fire

boog1956 — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:18:35 GMT

This book came out earlier than I expected. Was anyone else disappointed in this book? It opened up several new topics and characters including the Silver blade sentinel Hamiilton mentioned and which Mercy points toward Indigo. I just felt Nalini thru out lots of info but did not tie anything tigether or explain the Human Alliance motives clearly. Am I missing something

Nikita

CyndeB — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:44:27 GMT

I thought we had a thread for her but can't find it now . . . so I will start one because I had a question for all you eagle eyed readers. . . .

Can anyone remember reading where one of the changelings actually says that Nikita has the "metallic" psy smell?

Samuel Rain

degdelta — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:57:12 GMT

I've been re-reading the entire series from the beginning and i've just gotten to the part in BbF where we briefly hear about the lone survivor of the mind f***. Is it just me or did anyone else want to read more about this guy? His fortitude and determination not to harm others in the face of Tatiana's compulsion was heartwarming. I want to know if he lives and if he can recover from the brutality of the attack. And, if he does i think he deserves to be 'saved' from Silence and ...

Indigo's Mate

lili — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:18:58 GMT

I was looking through the Q & A session on Nalini's forum when I saw this: "Q: Is Indigo's mate Hamiliton? is he someone that we know or we haven't met him yet? A: It is someone you know quite well. (Let the speculation begin *grin*)." So, I figured that we should let the speculation begin, even if the book is a whole year away. I thought her mate would be Walker but Nalini says she's not sure if she'll write his book. Maybe Nalini really wants to surprise us and makes Kaleb her ...

Thank you!

Nalini Singh — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:36:56 GMT

Thanks for the great Q&A everyone. Until next time - happy reading!

the good the bad and psy

Fuarie — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:44:29 GMT

I've had so many questions to ask but you know my mind is blank now.. I guess I should just throw out some that come to me here and there. I loved BBF! The two are so powerful not to mention that Hawke was in it and he is my favorite! 1. So we saw another pack or flock seeing how they were birds..Are they going to be seen a lot more in later books? 2. Lucas and Sascha are having a baby. Are we going to see more babies any time soon? 3. Will the Ghost ever have his own book..if we ever ...

population

Katherine — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:00:09 GMT

Hi Nalini,
Are most people in your world predominately Psy, Changeling, or Human?

X-designation

CiLi — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:01:03 GMT

I'm sure we will get more information about the X in future books but I'm so corious, so I have to ask some questions about it (and about Sienna): 1. What kind of power is it? Sienna said: "One slip and boom, I take out the entire den." Maybe she has the ability to detonate ? 2. Is Sienna the only cardinal X-psy (Sascha said, that cardinal X-Psy were a myth and even midrange were rare)? 3. Is she the most powerful X-psy (with 16 years she was stronger than Ming!)? 4. Will she ...

Hawke

Katherine — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:14:12 GMT

How long has Hawke been Snowdancer's Alpha?

Lucas

Ladyhawke — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:38:22 GMT

Hi again Nalini! Thanks for doing this Q.A....I love having this chance to ask (and read) all these questions... Anyways...I know that Lucas is Hunter-born...what exactly does that entail? I remember reading somewhere that there is a Hunter born in every pack, do they all have the markings on their faces? And is there a similar kind of designation in other packs (namely SD)? And now that Lucas and Sascha are having a child, will the child be a Hunter? What if the child's a girl...can it still ...

arc?

degdelta — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:21:12 GMT

like everyone else on this forum i am a big fan and love every one of your books. thanks for allowing us to ask questions. i know you can't reveal too much (some of it is probably still in the aether waiting to be discovered, no doubt) i'm gathering from some of your answers that you have more than one story arc planned for this series? do you already have a good idea of how they are set up or is it just a gleam in the back of your mind? Denice

Faith's Sister

hisgirl85 — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:54:03 GMT

I was wondering if we'll learn more about Faith's sister, her power, or anything? Even though she was murdered, her designation and job seem so interesting. ^^

psy boy from stroke of enticement

hisgirl85 — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:29:31 GMT

I loved your novella/short stories in both of the Christmas books. "Stroke of Enticement" is amazing. ^^ I loved hearing from a human perspective (which is why I liked C&T so much). The insight into Annie's mother's opinions and views, as well as Annie's, were enjoyable. As someone involved with and surrounded by education, I even more thoroughly enjoyed the story. Another part that struck me, grabbing my attention was the psy boy with cardinal eyes who lifted the wreckage to ...

Nikita

Katherine — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:52:28 GMT

How was Nikita able to impersonate an eccentric human well enough to fool the book seller?

Dev's mate

Katherine — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 05:44:16 GMT

According to Nalini's site Dev's story is going to be after Mercy's. But with all of the Dark River Sentinels paired up, who will be be mating with?

Me thinks Indigo.

Indigo

Vantizian — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:08:32 GMT

First I really love your books.

My question is about Indigo’s mate!
You wrote in your Q&A “It is someone you know quite well.”
Please could you give us a bit more advice! Is it a Wolf/Cat or Psy?

Henry and Shoshanna

Rageane — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:08:28 GMT

Nalini,

Now that the Protocol has for the most part gone to the wayside, and Henry and Shoshanna have removed their chips, and have also lost trust between themselves: Will they join the ranks of the humans and divorce?

H.A. Assassinations

Katherine — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:25:18 GMT

What methods did the H.A. use to try and kill Anthony, Henry and Shoshanna?

Also, did Anthony and Faith reveal how Faith and Sascha saved their lives? Does this put the Psy Council (or at least Anthony and Nikita) in debt to the changlings?

Hello!

lili — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:11:23 GMT

I just dropped by Nalini's blog and saw this new fan club, so thanks for opening it up. My name is Lili, I work as a case worker and after hours of dealing with stressful situations I love nothing more than to curl up on the couch with a good book. Of course, Nalini's books are usually not far from reach. I look forward to many interesting discussions!

Human Alliance

Rageane — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:56:45 GMT

How much longer will we have to wait to see the Human Alliance start to merge into the Changeling tapestry in terms of bonding? Will we see a human alliance bond with a changeling at all?

Loved, Loved, Loved BBF

missdee — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:44:16 GMT

Hi Nalini, The book was great. A lot of new characters were introduced, which tells me that the series is far from over, which is a very good thing. But, I have this thing about Amara, Ashaya's twin. I always thought that she could be rehabed with a little kindness and love. That seems to be the direction you are taking for her. I wonder if she is ever going to meet Hawke? He definitely needs a "darling" of his own and I don't think it should be Sienna. Is there a more defined story ...

Vasic, Jon, and Kaleb

hisgirl85 — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:50:56 GMT

First, I wanted to say how I am very intrigued by both Kaleb and Vasic. Thank you so much for writing them. On that note, one question I have is will Vasic get a book or story? I would love some insight into Anthony and his world with the Psy, their roles, and just more of the world in general. Anthony and/or his son have a story? My interest was piqued in the second novel when I found out about the Ps designation. Since the next book is going to be about Dev, will Jon and the special ...

Introduce yourselves

Katherine — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:48:37 GMT

Hi everybody. Obviously my name is Katherine. Until recently I was gainfully employed by Viacom/MTV Network but then they decided they didn't my services anymore and I got laid off. So now I spend my days reading, hunting for work, reading, playing with my dog and cat, hunting for work, and reading.:-) My social life is that of a cloistered nun. And that's how I like it.

Q&A Starts today

Katherine — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:47:19 GMT

HOPEFULLY everybody got the email I sent out about this a couple of minutes ago, but in the (not unlikely) event that the message landed in your spam box, I'm reposting here. The Q&A starts today at 7:00AM EST and will last until 7:00AM on Thursday. This translates to Midnight Monday through Midnight Friday Nalini's time. I'll be setting up a special forum just for the occasion. I know, I should have posted this on the forum days ago, but I totally forgot to do so. No excuses. ...

Suicide bombers

Katherine — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:30:48 GMT

Who was behind the Psy suicide bomber attacks? Tatiana?

next book (BLAZE) speculation

degdelta — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:40:25 GMT

i finished reading BbF (loved it) and, of course, read the teaser for the next one - BLAZE of MEMORY.

i believe the female is Ashaya's assistant. hope so. i was saddened to think she was killed by Ming after Ashaya's defection.
also, i think she may have been rescued by Vasic.

the alternative is that she is a Trojan Horse.

any thoughts?
