Tangle of Need

Psy-Changeling Series, Book 11

By: Nalini Singh

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past - one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.

For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild attraction proves a losing battle.

Their coming together is an inferno.... and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.

REVIEW:
Another great book from Nalini. Seriously loving this series and I am so glad that I took the time to listen to them on audio. Ms.Dawe is an awesome narrator that is able to deliver Nalini’s story amazing way. Thank you to both of theses ladies for this series.

**Okay there may be a spoiler from here. So if you have not read you may want to stop. But I will do my best to be not give much away.

I loved that there was so much of Hawke & Sienna in this book :) I think the people that felt there was not enough (I was not one of them) of Hawke and Sienna in Kiss of Snow will be very happy with how much we get to see the SnowDancer Alpha couple. And they are just as prickly sweet as ever. Of course my main man Judd is in this book. Love love love that guy. I really need to get a shirt that says I <3 Judd. Riley and Mercy make an appearance and stir up some trouble. Battle lines are drawn. An enemy is found. And a new threat looms over the world.

But the main story is Riaz & Adria. These two’s story was so heart breaking. I felt for them on such a deep level that I kept waiting for Ms. Singh to make it right. But she didn’t. There was no bandaid for these two to cover up their wounds. And that made me really sad. BUT!!! Unlike some of the reviews I read. I think the Ms. Singh did right by these two and left a door open for there to become more. I am truly hoping that is the case. I guess only time will tell.

I can’t wait to get into Kaleb’s book. There is so much more to this Former Councilor than meets the eye.

I purchased this book from Audible and this review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

The Civil War Starts

Where does Tangle of Need rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Psy / Changeling books are my second favorite paranormal romance series with "A Discovery of Witches" being on first place and the "Elder Races" stories coming third.

What did you like best about this story?

I hesitated to buy this book, because I do not like love triangles, but I am glad I read it eventually, because it fleshes out the story of the series as a whole. The love story of Riaz and Adria is only one part of the overall plot. Normally I don't like stories with a lot of characters, but it is okay in the context of this series, because most of the characters mentioned in the book have been introduced more throughly in previous books. For people who did not read the older books of the series, this novel might mention just names indeed; but I am delighted to see how other characters from previous books are faring such as Indigo, Drew, Judd, Hawk, Sienna and Sasha, for example. In contrast to "Tangle of Need", the following book "Heart of Obsidian" has less characters and focuses more on the main couple. This book also made a little more room for the Arrows, and I am so curious about what will happen with Vasic in the new book being published in February 2014.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The liveliness of changeling interaction, their teasing, poking and squabbling makes me smile, sometimes laugh. This is a contrast to psy interaction, which can be dangerous, and multilayered.

it was almost a wonderful story

why could they not have just go through the mating Bond. it was a wonderful story I wish that it would just end with them being bonded. it just ruins the book for me.

A catchall Book preparing you for war

So we met Riaz back in Book 9 of the series and he's been hanging around, morning the loss of his mate (or rather that she's married to another guy) this whole time. We also met Adria, and knowing how depressing both of these wolves are, you can only watch them struggle to build a life from the ashes of what their lives have become.

LOADS of cameos in this book however, so there are many amazing moments to read and this book isn't simply filler. Great transition book for the next one.

So good.

This was so good. There is so much going on but not too much to get lost. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Damaged hearts

Any additional comments?

I loved all the detail in this book. There was a lovely even if sometimes frustrating love story but it was so much more than that. Seeing everything happening in the psy net and trust being given was awesome.
I however am dying to know who Kaleb is trying to find so its time to go get the next book to listen to!

One of her best

Love the unique story, strong characters who draw you in and lots of supporting character stories from previous books.

Best Yet

This book revisits characters from previous books in the series. I loved this book because the main characters were not "mates" as Riaz did not find his mate before she found and married someone else. Adria does not want to be second best. The author pulled it off because the love between the two is so right. I loved this book!

Wow!!!! Major changes

What made the experience of listening to Tangle of Need the most enjoyable?

Lots of changes in the Psy/Changeling series... I love that we got to see more of the day to day lives and the building of relationship foundations in the Snow Dancer pack I just Love Love Hawk and Sienna!!! Riaz and Adria story was good I like the emotional pull it had on me I connected with Adria and that surprised me because in Kos I did not like her at all..... I have very mixed feeling about Riaz and Lezette... I am excited about Alice and what we will discover about her.... But the way the book ended and the Major Cliff Hanger!!!! Wow now that was enough to make m scream...lol

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Hawk, I have since the first book but now that we are deeper in the series I am very curious about Vasick.

Which scene was your favorite?

Ming and Sienna

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to gobble it up all in one bite but knowing I have a full year to wait for the next book I drug it out for 3 days....

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next book.. I am hoping that because of that HUGE cliff hanger NS won't make us wait forever for the next book!!!

Another fantastic book in the series

I seriously don't think I'll ever have enough of this series. So many of the you really want them to end it's like an over extended tv series but not this one. This book was just as good as the first book and every book there after. If you haven't read this series it's a must.
