Lucas sometimes falls into the typical alpha male caveman attitude, which made me lower the rating of this book, but in general Sascha holds her own.įor a book that revolves around a romantic pairing like Slave to Sensation, there is a lot of time spent on creating the world and a mystery sub-plot. Unlike many heroines who are supposed to be clever, she is actually competent at her job, and her bickering with Lucas was entertaining. Their personalities clash, but through getting to know each other better, they fall in love. The psy have done away with sexual intercourse and messy personal relationships completely, while the changelings value pack and family above all. Pairings between psy and changelings are unheard of. The focus of the story is the romance between Sascha and Lucas. Her aberration becomes increasingly hard to hide when she is teamed up with Lucas, a changeling. But there is something different about Sascha she feels. They rule the world, because they have no capacity for hate or anxiety. Sascha is a Psy – a race of beings that have no emotions, and make all of their decisions on pure intellect.
If this is your impression too, be assured: Slave of Sensation is a much better book than you’d think. The book looks like something that is filled with paper-thin characters and a lot of insipid swooning. The only reason that it took me so long to read Slave of Sensation is the terrible cover and the cringe-worthy title. Published September 5th 2006 by Berkley Sensation
