Ethan Night is an Arrow who is a telekinetic. He meets BlackEdge wolf pack Alpha Selenka Durev and it’s mating at first site. The stuff of soap operas and romance novels. But their connection is jagged and foggy. Ethan believes it’s because he’s damaged. He believes he has Scarab Syndrome, a power inside him that will eventually kill him.

There is a threat to the PsyNet that Ethan turns out to be uniquely able to handle. But why? There’s a deadly threat to the pack.

Ethan’s damage turns out to be a surprise.
***
I really liked Ethan—make sure you picture the non-US cover while reading the story. His reading of manuals and advice columns was funny. I suspected the nature of Ethan’s damage after a while and I was glad to be right.

Selenka’s lieutenant Margot was a real treat.

Nalini Singh has done it again.

Reviewing this book is so hard because my brain just turns into a pile of mush and excitement (I know that seems like an oxymoron but just read the book and you'll get it).

It was an absolute pleasure getting to see Ethan and Selenka navigate their bond and settle within themselves.

Singh has a way of writing complex relationships, where each party turns out stronger on the other side. Taking the broken and giving them a reason to want to climb out of that darkness.

I dont think i can say more without spoiling things so i'll just say this: If you like paranormal romance and you're not reading Nalini Singh, then you're not truly living.

Alpha Night is the 19th book in the Psy/Changeling series and 4rd in the Psy/Changeling Trinity series both by Nalini Singh. In Alpha Night alpha wolf Selenka Durev is fierce and protective of those who are under her care. She meets Ethan Night who is a standoffish member of The Arrows, somehow they become fated mates at first sight, even though Selenka believed mattings at first sight to be a myth. What Selenka sort of knows but doesn't is that something is wrong with Ethan, Selenka and sense it through the mating bond. Will they be able to stay mated or with the secrets they're both keeping destroy everything?

This was so fun to read, I was definitely entertained through my read.  I loved the chemistry and banter between Selenka and Ethan. I also really tend to love the mystery based Psy/Changeling storylines, I find those to be the most interesting and entertaining. It was nice to see past characters in this story pop up (like the author normally does with her Psy/Changeling books.) This reading experience was so pleasant.

The spicy scenes in here were so nice. I did like that we didn't have to read about a woman and her first time, because this author tends to write about that and I never really like those scenes. This was enjoyable. I'm giving it three point five chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 out of five chilies

In my review for the previous book in the Psy/Changeling Trinity series I said that "Wolf Rain" had been my favorite book from the series so far. After having read "Alpha Night" I've changed my opinion. "Alpha Night" is my favorite in the series now. The book was entertaining, exciting, and it depicted such a wonderful love. I'm giving this book 5 stars out of 5. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars
