Absolutely enjoyed this book. Loved the characters as always. You see them as imperfect which is what we all are but they continue to grow. Love the main characters having their own struggles to deal with and it not just being an easy fix. Good pace for the story and as always a great read from this author!

I never want to leave BlackSea….

It felt like so much build up to this, our first real glimpse into the BlackSea clan – and it felt like home…
Bo was fighting for his life, for the life of those he loved, called family. Waking up to the chance he may pave the way for their survival, also had beautiful Kaia holding his hand. Kaia was warm, nurturing and inexplicably looked at him like he was a monster. Their chemistry was off the charts but so was the distrust….

Yes, the insta-love was, well, instant, but each gentle touch and act of understanding that followed had it all make sense. The warmth, the devotion, between these two are life goals, people! Their feelings felt too real, too honest, to be anything but sincere. Slowly revealing their fears, their secrets meant a journey of change, discovery and (surprisingly) fun. In a world of shifters who knew a mouse would spell a hex on me...

The Psy-Changeling world captured me from the very first book and Bo and Kaia’s story simply added more icing on that cake.

Bowen and Kaia are amazing together - but that's Nalini's Singh's super power. To bring together an unlikely pair and MAKE IT WORK! I was excited to see more of the water changelings and Nalini's take on how they create family across the oceans. This was a wonderful book.

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my review or opinion of the book.

Ocean Light is the much anticipated book featuring Bowen Knight, a character who first appeared early on in Singh's Psy-Changeling series. First an enemy, then an ally, Bo is the leader of the Human Alliance. His abhorrence to psychic interference runs deep, which causes him to have a chip implanted into his brain which blocks psychic powers. Unfortunately the chip isn't without faults and it begins to degrade, putting Bo's life in danger (this all happens previous to the start of this book). He comes to the undersea BlackSea changeling group in a coma after being injured in the previous book.

While Bo isn't my favorite character in the Psy-Changeling world, he has always interested me. When I heard that he was getting his own book set in the underwater changeling world, I was pretty excited. Originally I rated this 4 stars but am downgrading slightly to 3 mostly because, months after initially reading the book, I can't remember much about it. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it at the time. However, I feel like it needs to stand out more if I am going to give it 4 stars.

Things I liked about this book. We're under water! Singh has shown us glimpses of BlackSea before but they're very secretive. This book gives us an inside look at the underwater changeling group and it's so cool! I love all of the different underwater changelings. Most of the characters keep their changeling animal under wraps to outsiders but it's not too hard to guess what animal they become based on their personality.

I also liked Bo and Kaia together. Bo hasn't had a whole lot of joy in his life and Kaia is so warm and loving. She makes a great counterpoint to Bo. Both of them have to overcome some deep seated fears in this book with the other's support. Their romance is a very sweet one.

As always, Singh manages to suck me into this complex and fascinating world that she has created. This was a fun read and I am looking forward to the next book in the Psy-Changeling series!

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my review or opinion of the book.

I need more Kaia and Bowen! Dare I hope we'll see more of them in the next books?
Witnessing them overcome so many obstacles, threats, controversies and trauma I'm now left wanting to see more of their HEA.

Sure there's a good deal of playfulness, want and heat exchanged but the romance between Kaia and Bo didn't quite overbalance the amount of perils they had to conquer in my eyes. Especially considering their over the top insta-love. It's my only regret about this book.
That and the arguable sense of doom shrooding the romance because of Bowen's brain chip situation. Not once did I believe he wouldn't make it, so the whole contrived "let's not acknowledge we are obviously life mates because imma gonna die tomorrow" felt super cheap as plot devices go. That angst felt so manufactured it failed to trigger my feelings.

That being said, I did adore both Kaia and Bowen characters, they were a perfect pairing.

I wasn't so sure about my feelings about Blacksea changelings at first but Nalini Singh made me once again addicted and and attached to this clan and their customs. I would have happily remained underwater for many more chapters, reading more about every new character that made Blacksea's ohana. Discovering the characters and intricacies of sea changelings through Bowen's curious and gentle eyes was perfect.

I'm looking forward the next instalment and I'm hoping for more books about sea changelings!

PS : Do not dive into this book on a empty stomach. Grab some snacks, cookies, cake, anything. Kaia is a cook and the author deliberately teases her readers with yummy food all throughout! You've been warned!

Bowen is trying to cope with his reality of his life changes. He is drawn to Kaia a changeling chef that his his nurse. I am loving the looks into the ocean changeling people. Enjoying the new arc into the world of Psy-Changeling.

RECOMMENDED READ
Jennie: There have been 16 books in the Psy/Changeling series and now two in the Psy/Changeling Trinity series. This is the sixth book of those 18 that Janine and I have reviewed together. I know this because when I searched for our last review, from June of 2017, I noted that *that* one was our fifth review together. I graded that book, Silver Silence, a B+, while Janine gave it a C. This interested me because my perception has long been that Janine has been a bigger fan of these two series than I am.

Janine: I think that might be true, generally speaking.

Jennie: On to Ocean Light: late in Silver Silence, Bowen “Bo” Knight, security chief of the Human Alliance, is shot on a bridge in Venice. The assassin is presumably working for the Consortium, the villainous organization out to smash the Trinity Accord. When Ocean Light opens, Bo is in a coma, watched over by Kaia Luna, an ex-scientist turned cook who is checking on Bo at the request of her very pregnant cousin Attie, who is Bo’s doctor. Before the first chapter ends, Bo has awakened, understandably confused – not only does he not know where he is, he doesn’t know how he’s alive. He felt the bullet that hit him explode his heart before he fell off the bridge and into the canal. He should be dead.

It turns out that Bo’s been in a coma for two months, and the world, absent a few key people, think he’s dead. He discovers that he’s being treated on an underwater station run by BlackSea, the collective of water changelings, and that he’s alive thanks to a new mechanical heart. But Bo’s not out of the woods, health-wise, for an entirely different reason.

In a previous book, Bo and several other members of the Human Alliance were implanted with a brain chip meant to protect them from being mentally invaded by the Psy. Scientists Ashaya and Amara Aleine developed the chip and implanted it at the humans’ insistence when it hadn’t been fully tested, and now those implanted chips are degrading. Death waits if the degradation of the chips can’t be stopped (apparently while Bo was in his coma, the Aleines did come up with a solution that slowed the degradation process somewhat).

Bo finds out that Attie has developed a compound that, *if* it works, would save him and the other humans from death. However, it has a high probably of turning him into a vegetable. So his immediate future either holds death, a fate he considers worse than death, or possibly a normal life with a brain free from the threat of psychic rape by the Psy. In summary, things are kind of intense for Bo at the moment.

Bo and Kaia have an instant connection, but it’s one that Kaia resists. For one thing, her best friend Hugo has gone missing, the latest in a string of BlackSea members who have been kidnapped by a mysterious enemy. There’s reason to suspect humans may be involved, making Kaia extremely wary of humans in general and the face of the Human Alliance in particular.

Even without that complication, Kaia has a childhood trauma that causes her to fear and distrust humans (much like Bo has a past that makes him fear and distrust the Psy). But Bo almost immediately sees in Kaia the possibility of a different life, one that is not so consumed with saving his fellow humans from the Psy menace.

Between the missing BlackSea members and Bo’s concerns that the Human Alliance could harbor a traitor, as well as the very real possibility that Bo could be facing annihilation one way or another in a matter of weeks, one would think that Ocean Light would be fast-paced and full of drama. But one thing I liked about it was that a fair amount of the middle of the book is focused on Bo and Kaia’s developing relationship. We (and Bo) spend a lot of time with Kaia in the station’s kitchen, meeting its residents and getting a feel for the BlackSea community. An underwater station could feel claustrophobic, but somehow it didn’t. Singh made it so appealing I almost wanted to visit (in reality I would be terrified to be that deeply submerged).

Janine: I thought that Singh did a stellar job of capturing the ocean’s vastness, its immense mystery, through Bo’s sense of wonder. I truly felt like I was entering a different, and magical world than that of the other novels in the series. This was what I had hoped for when I heard that there would be a second series, and what I wanted but didn’t get from Silver Silence.

Jennie: The book worked better for me when it focused on the romance, or the missing BlackSea members mystery, than when it dealt with Bo’s maybe-impending-death. I looked back at our joint review of Silver Silence and we complained about the many times in the series that variations on this storyline have been used, only to have it crop up in this, the very next book. Sigh.

Besides the repetitiveness of the recycled storyline, I just find that that having such a dramatic threat to the HEA in a romance somehow paradoxically serves to remind me that it *is* a romance, and of course there will be an HEA, and of course the hero/heroine won’t die. So that part of the story mostly just irritated me.

Janine: While I’m in sympathy with you regarding just how well-worn the impending death trope is in this series, I was still able to enjoy it this time, because what felt new to me was that Kaia resisted falling for Bo partly because she knew that this fate could await him. I especially loved the moment when her defenses crumbled and their bond kicked in. It comes late in the book, so I won’t spoil it, but it had me crying.

Jennie: The idea that Bo and the other humans would have an untested chip implanted in their brains stretches my credulity. I understand that humans, particularly Bo and his compatriots, are desperate for a solution that protects them from the Psy mentally. But going forward with an implantation that quickly fails makes them seem heedless and even foolish. (To be fair, I think part of the reason that Bo and the other humans are portrayed as insisting on the chip being implanted without further testing is because otherwise Ashaya Aleine, heroine of book five, Hostage to Pleasure, would kind of be on the hook for endangering all their lives.)

Janine: Right with you there, and I felt similarly about Vasic and his experimental gauntlet. Characters in this series can be reckless with their health and well-being, and I don’t entirely understand why the scientists involved in these decisions go along with them.

In the case of Bo and his friends who were implanted with this chip, it was made clear that they thought death preferable to mind rape. But there was a moment when Bo was facing the possibility of death in this book, and had so much to live for, that I thought, Really? You’d honestly prefer to die?

Jennie:

Spoiler (“Spoiler”): Show

Jennie: Janine, how did you feel about Bo and Kaia’s insta-attraction? I was annoyed when he was enraptured over her scent moments after awakening from his coma, but as the story went on my feelings about it started to change.

Janine: I had a very similar reaction to yours. It happened so fast that for a moment I was irritated, but then as the novel progressed it became more and more convincing, and I almost forgot my initial response.

Jennie: Bo and Kaia really got to know and understand each other in the course of their courtship, and I felt like the internal obstacles to an HEA (mostly on Kaia’s side) were a lot more real and compelling than the “will Bo survive?” storyline.

Janine: As I said earlier, I thought that “Will Bo survive?” question impacted Kaia’s resistance in an interesting way, so I had more interest in it for that reason. I never truly doubted his survival, but Kaia’s reaction made me care.

I want to take a moment here and say a word or two about Kaia. I thought she was a wonderful character, one of my favorite heroines in the series thus far. In fact, she might even give Mercy (my favorite up until now) a run for her money, although their personalities are very different. Whereas Mercy is bold and unafraid, Kaia was the one I saw as more courageous, because she had so much fear and trauma to overcome. And yet she never let it rob her of her joy in life. There was something I found heroic about that.

Bo, for me, was less compelling, but I found I liked him better in the station setting. Out of his depths and recovering from injury, as well as allowing himself to experience the wonder of where he was, he became more approachable than he had been in prior books. And he also developed some playfulness with Kaia, as well as curiosity about her (just what she changes into remains a mystery for much of the book, although I guessed it). All of that made him likeable.

Jennie: Totally agree on both Kaia and Bo. I wasn’t thrilled with Bo as a hero going in, but I thought we got to see another side of him, one that Kaia uniquely brought out.

Janine: There were also some interesting secondary characters introduced here, as well as a few old favorites who returned. I don’t want to spoil a tiny cameo that thrilled me in the middle of the book, so I’ll say no more on that topic.

All in all, I loved this book until the last bad thing that befell Kaia happened. Up until that moment I was enthralled and then… Kaia had been through so much in this novel that the last thing she needed was one more trauma, so it felt like overkill. Even though what happened turned out to have a silver lining, it punctured my bubble of enjoyment to have her go through more.

Jennie: Agreed. There was a point to it, but it still felt like too much, especially coming so late in the book.

After struggling with elements of the series for so long (the overwrought writing, the idealization of the “animal” changelings over the “rational” Psy, some yucky gender stuff) I feel like I’m coming to peace with these “flaws.” For whatever reason, I like the series enough to continue, so it’s pointless to get worked up about phrases like “…drenched the world in changeling blood” on the first page. Focusing on the positive (except for grumble..stupid chip…grumble), my grade for Ocean Light is a high B.

Janine: I made my (sometimes uneasy) peace with that long ago, but I am grateful to see Singh taking the series in a new direction with the introduction of books about the ocean changelings. I look forward to books about Miane, Malachai, and other ocean changelings, as well as Bo’s sister, Lily, and I’m hoping for one about at least one of his people, too. The last scene, though I saw what happened there coming from miles away, was delightful too.

You’d have to go back to Kaleb and Sahara’s book, Heart of Obsidian, published in 2013, to find a novel in the Psy/Changeling series that I’ve enjoyed this much. My grade is a B+.

When I first saw this I was super excited to see a new Nalini Singh book and then when I read about it I wasn't sure if I would like it since it was about so many different characters. I am happy to say I was wrong and this book was just as awesome as all others in the series. I loved how it wrapped up parts of several previous stories whilst also moving the plot forwards and bringing in new characters.

THE DELIGHT

I love Nalini Singh, but I am not sure this new series of books is making a good hit within me. Nothing overtly wrong, but nothing grabbing me and won't let go. This story was one that was needed.



REVIEW

Bowen Knight has a ticking time bomb in his head. A chip was implant many years ago to prevent Psy from telepathically harming his mind and many other human's as well. Now those chips have degraded and it is not a matter of if they will kill him, but when. A key player in the Human Alliance, his survival is key to keep the peace. His sister works to kidnap him and now he is below the sea on a changling ocean base,Black Sea facility, trying to stay ahead of what may ultimately kill him. While it is a long shot, it is their one chance for survival.

A tragedy in Kaia Luna's past has kept her mentally trapped at Black Sea, hating humans and now hating the one that has invaded her santuary. Trading science for cooking, this angry woman has enough reasons to hate the huma race that killed her family, but also her friend Hugo is now pointing the finger his way for the recent deaths to their kind. As she gets to know Bowen, things just don't seem to be coordinating or aligning that Bowen is the perpetrator.

While there is the tingling of passion between them, Kaia has had enough pain from death in her life and Bowen only has a 5% chance of surviving. Both have their pasts getting in the way of a future.

My biggest problem with this offshoot series is I am not quite sure where we are going. It feels like we are still in the old series with characters that are just getting their own story. It doesn't feel like we moved on so much as we are dealing with the fall out from Psy falling and the story just continued.

There isn't as much action in this story than what other books may have had, it is mostly the growth of these characters and overcoming their past tragedies and learning to open their minds and hearts to each other.

Overall, I am not a fan of this spin of new series. It just hasn't resonated with me as much as the first string of stories did. Now I need to move on to the next one in hopes that it will impress me more.

I had this as an e-arc to review, and I also bought the audiobook. The story and narration are both excellent! I loved the environment and world building of the Black Sea changelings and Bowen's story lived up to my expectations. Kaia's anxiety issues were dealt with honestly, and there's some interesting plot developments that continue the story arc of this spinoff series. I'm looking forward to the next one!

It's been a while since we got a human MC in the Psy-Changeling world, and while they're usually not my favorite, Nalini Singh didn't disappoint with Ocean Light. Bowen and Kaia were wonderful together. I LOVED getting to know the water changelings more (and am hoping we get more books about them! *cough* Malachai and/or Miane).

Most Nalini Singh readers know what to expect when they pick up one of her Psy-Changeling books. I jumped into the middle with this one, but the writer's deft hand ensured that even new readers like myself won’t feel lost and will, in fact feel a little spoiled. This books delves into a new area in her world that longtime readers have been waiting to read for a long time and the return (reappearance) of a favorite villain. Anyway, brb gonna go read the first sixteen books.

Because this was a large book I was afraid it was going to be filled with unnecessary sentences but it was perfect, so you understood exactly what the characters were doing and where they were. When Kaia sees the injured human man she feels something for him even though she is terrified of humans. Her cousin needs her help to get this experiment done and being as pregnant as she is Kaia will assist her so she doesn’t stress, but humans took her man from her clan named Hugo who is her friend.
When Bowen awakens his head hurts but there is a siren in the room and her presence is soothing as a caress, but Bowen is the leader of the Alliance a human policing group who the clan believes has taken their family. The more time they spend together the more attached Kaia and Bowen become much to the disappointment of the clan mates.
Someone has smashed the growing laboratory and distracted them while they stole all the lifesaving serum for Bowen’s brain because without it he will be physically there but mentally gone. This story brings together all different walks of life human and non human to work together for a common goal even with all the fears. Loved the connection between Bowen and Kaia.

When I read the blurb for OCEAN LIGHT, all I could think was "Finally we get to see more of the elusive BlackSea!" I also was excited to see how a changeling could bring the anti-trusting, paranoid, hard, and rough, yet admirable for his fierce loyalties, Bowen to his knees. Kaia is exactly the playful but strong person he needed. Of course she doesn't make it easy on him and I really enjoyed the dance between them. The romance is sweet yet plenty hot, a deliciously fun combination. Bowen is a delicious hero that I wasn't expecting, and the combination of him with Kaia made for a fully satisfying read.

Nalini has a masterful way of crafting stories and situations that pull at your heartstrings from the first page, and OCEAN LIGHT is no exception. Bowen is on a life to death hair the entire book, and BlackSea people are disappearing right and left. Talk about intense circumstances! When you add those with the fascinating and masterful world, this is one heck of a combination. There's just something special about a story that gives you that perfect escape, and this is it.

All in all, with OCEAN LIGHT, Nalini Singh has yet again written an incredible story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bravo!

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 5
Bowen Knight awakes to what he believes is the afterlife. How could he not when he remembers being shot through the heart and sinking into the deep abyss? Something is not completely right with this afterlife. Or are they keeping his brain alive to try to find a way to stop the chip from exploding?

Bowen will have to fight with everything he has to get back to reality and the people he loves.
He never expected one of those people would be found at the bottom of the sea.

I am loving this new portion of the Psy-Changeling world that Ms. Singh is developing for us. First she brings us the much loved Bears (in Silver Silence) now we get to go into the deep and learn more about the Water Changelings of Black Sea. Ms. Singh’s mind is a dangerous place. How she comes up with these characters amazings me. Then you add in the amazing talented voice of Angela Dawe and you have a masterpiece. I truly hope that neither one of these ladies ever gets tired of their job!!
I can not wait for the next installment of the Psy-Changeling series I know that it will be amazing as all of the rest.


I would like to see a cameo by my favorite Psy Judd :)


Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley, Tanor Audio & Penguin in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

It took me ages to read this book. I was in the strangest reading funk and it couldn't hold my attention. The first half of the book was pretty slow, then it picked up in the second half. I'll write a full review closer the release date. While I enjoyed it, it isn't my favorite Singh novel.

Ocean Light is the second book in the psy/changeling Trinity series which is a series expanding and adding depth to the Psy/Changling world. It’s a unique book that gives readers a chance to explore Blacksea and the changelings that call it home. This book has quite a few reveals regarding BlackSea and the vulnerable changelings who live there. Overall a good book and a great addition to the series’ story arc. I certainly hope to see more of BlackSea in the future!

Nalini Singh continues to enthrall me with her story-telling and her world-building. I have my personal favorites among the Psy-Changeling series -- individual books as well as individual characters, of course -- but from the first moment I picked up "Slave to Sensation," I was utterly charmed by the world I discovered, and by the complex, powerful people within it.

Inextricably linked by history and need, yet divided by legitimately powerful rage, fear, and distrust, the Humans, Psy and Changelings are locked in a struggle for survival and supremacy that threatens to destabilize the world completely.. The delicate connection formed between a rogue empath and a charming leopard Changeling creates the first shining link in a chain that ultimately force all three races to face the worst of themselves, and to look beyond the end of their world into the beginning of a new one.

What I love most about Nalini Singh's books is that, although the overarching story is clear, ever-building, and deftly woven into each story, each book stands alone. Does the reader always know that more is coming, that events are building, and that choices made in each book will echo and ripple forward? Absolutely. But each book is complete in and of itself and leaves the reader satisfied. Events may hang in the balance, but Singh never leaves her readers hanging.

I don't want to give away anything of this latest addition to the series, so I am limiting myself to a simple statement. Begin with "Slave to Sensation" and read them all. You won't be bored. You won't feel like you're re-reading the same book over and over. (Although, you'll like some more than others -- everyone does.)

Just read them.

Phew! I did not mean to go so long between reviews. I’m a youth librarian and in summer, well, I am busy at work. Like it’s normal work times a thousand. I haven’t had a lot of time for reading and reviewing but I’m hoping that will change as my library’s summer reading program is finally winding down (hallelujah!). I read Ocean Light early this summer and I’m finally getting to review it so, you know, it’s been a long summer.

Ocean Light is the second book in Nalini Singh’s spinoff (of sorts) of the Psy/Changeling series. This is the Psy-Changeling Trinity series. As with most of her books, you definitely want to read the other stories first, especially when it comes to the hero. Bowen has been long involved in the Psy world and you’ll have a deeper understanding of him if you know what he has been working toward as a human surrounded by changelings and Psy.

Bo wakes up in a mysterious place. He has no idea where he is or how he survived the bullet that ricocheted through his body. Of course, he also knows his time on Earth is limited as the implant in his brain is racing to end his life. It was a risk he willingly took at the time and not one he thought he would ever regret. Except, things have changed. When he wakes up in his mystery location, he meets beautiful Kaia Luna. She is a chef, taking care of her fellow changelings. It is a great joy in her life. But she also feels the pull towards Bowen. She is supposed to hate humans. After all, they caused some of the greatest pain in her life. But how do you hate a man who is becoming someone special to her?

Ocean Light is set in the ocean, obviously. And it’s a thrilling world to visit! I was so excited when Nalini started carving out the ocean changelings. To finally get an intimate view into at least one group’s ocean world is beyond amazing. Like her other changeling settings, the ocean world Nalini creates is complex, dangerous, and breathtaking. I could have stayed immersed in Ocean Light for a lot longer than it took me to read this book. And honestly, I had been putting this book off for awhile because I wasn’t super excited about the prospect of Bo as hero. He was very bland and blah in the previous Psy/Changeling books, despite his heroic nature. However, he really comes alive in Ocean Light (which is funny considering he is close to dying).

I really, really enjoyed his connection with Kaia. And I loved Kaia. She is a very special woman. She is a changeling and is definitely a caretaker of her particular underwater world. She is busy watching over her pregnant cousin, helping a shy and awkward lab tech, and being a friend to everyone aboard their submerged home. She is also a bit lonely, even if she cannot say that aloud. Kaia has had a lot of loss in her life and Bo is starting to help her maybe make a fragile, permanent hopeful connection. (Side note: I loved Kaia’s relationship with her grandmother aboard the island, when her grandmother is a turtle. That is the kind of thing I would have enjoyed as a child.)

When I’m reading a Nalini Singh book, I always wish the world of the Psy and Changelings actually did exist alongside that of humans. That feeling continued as I read Ocean Light. There is so much wonder and amazement in our world and Nalini Singh taps into that feeling so well. Exploring Ocean Light was truly like a grand adventure for me and I look forward to more stories set in the ocean.

Ocean Light gets a rave review from me. I’m not a water person by any means but this is a swimming adventure I was happy to “dive” into this summer.

Ocean Light is the newest release in the Psy-Changeling series from Nalini Singh and picks up about 8 weeks after Silver Silence ends. With Ocean Light we finally get a book with major focus on BlackSea changelings, and I couldn't be happier.

Ocean Light is Bowen and Kaia's story and they form a bond pretty much from the first moment they see one another. While Bo is the head of the Human Alliance and lives on land, Kaia is a BlackSea changeling who lives in the deepest part of the ocean. I loved these two such different individuals hated to be apart from one another so quickly. Of course the fact that Kaia is the one to inform Bo he might have a trader in the midst of the Alliance was a bit of a strain for a time. All evidence available to Black Sea is pointing to someone in the Alliance being responsible for the missing members of the BlackSea clan. I loved that while Bo trusted his people, he didn't brush off the evidence and immediately wanted to investigate, even while waiting to see if the procedure to stabilize the chip in head will work.

I was completely charmed by Ocean Light. I can't say that I wanted Bowen to get his book right now, but as soon as I met Kaia, I knew there was no other individual that was more perfect for him. Watching them fall for one another gave me all the happy feels, even as I knew they had so many challenges ahead of them. They were very open with communication and really did seem to be real friends before moving on and becoming lovers.

The mystery of the Consortium and who is running it remains as strong as ever. Yes we are learning a bit about those individuals who would sell out their people to help them, yet I didn't feel like we saw any solid leads to the group. I do feel like we made strides with the Alliance, Psy, and Changelings being true allies for the future. I also loved that we finally learned more about the water changelings. While they are still a bit of a mystery, I have to say spending so much time with BlackSea did answer some questions I've had about the group since we first met them.

I really enjoyed Ocean Light and thought it was a wonderful addition to the series. It was filled with romance, action, and intrigue.


Rating: 4.5 Stars (B+)
