Goodreads

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into a family dark with shadowy secrets, as the world of the Psy teeters on the edge of a final catastrophic collapse. . . .

Daughter of two ruthless high-Gradient telepaths, Auden Scott is not the child her Psy parents wanted or expected, even before her brain injury. Her thoughts are scattered, her memories fuzzy—or just terrifyingly blank. The only thing she knows for certain is that she must protect her unborn baby . . . a baby she has no recollection of conceiving and who draws an unnerving depth of interest from her dead mother’s closest associates.

Leopard alpha Remi Denier is a man driven by the primal instinct to protect. Protect his pack, protect his allies . . . and protect the mysterious woman who has become a most unlikely neighbor. With eerie eyes that see too much and a scent that alters in ways disturbing and impossible, Auden Scott is the enemy . . . but nothing about this strange Psy is what it seems, and Remi’s feline heart is as fascinated by her as his human half.

Then Auden asks Remi to help her shatter the wall of secrets that is the Scott bloodline. What they unearth will reveal a nightmare beyond imagination. This time, the battle is to the death. . . .

Primal Mirror is a continuation of the Psy-Changeling Trinity series. While Auden and Remi are new, the overarching plots regarding the psy-net are continuing. You could pick this up as a standalone and be able to enjoy it. However, this series (PsyChangeling) is my all time favorite series ever, so you should start at the beginning with Slave to Sensation because its awesome.

This was a slow burn, and I find that is to be expected when a Psy is involved. It’s also a new pack: the RainFire leopards!! I love that we are getting a new pack, but with familiar ties. Auden reminded me of Memory Aven Rose from a previous book and I loved that. Auden is damaged and her parents were psychopaths. Remi is a solid, stable, protector, and it is exactly what Auden needs. It is really the couples that sell each book; while I do like the large overarching themes, it feels very dense and confusing at times and you don’t always see a lot of progress on that. So, it really is up to the characters to carry the story and I loved Auden and Remi! Auden is pregnant by a donor, which I typically don’t care for (pregnant heroines), but she doesn’t really remember how or why, and she doesn’t know the donor. It was really just another mystery!

I don’t care how long this series goes on, I will always want it to be longer. This is the book release I look forward to every summer. If you are an audio fan, the audio versions are amazing! Angela Dawe is a phenomenal narrator and has done all these books.
