StoneWater bears Pavel and Yakov Stepyrev have been a unit since birth, but now Pavel's life is veering in a new direction, his heart held in the hands of Arwen Mercant, a Psy empath—and the only man who has ever brought Pavel to his knees.
This is it. A point of irrevocable change. For Pavel . . . for Arwen . . . for Yakov . . . and for another pair of twins whose bond has a far darker history.
A low-Gradient Psy, Theodora Marshall is considered worthless by everyone but her violently powerful twin, Pax. She is the sole person he trusts in their venomous family to investigate a hidden and terrible part of their family history—an unregistered rehabilitation Center established by their grandfather.
The Centers are an ugly vestige of the Psy race's Silent past. But this Center was worse. Far, far worse. And now Theo must uncover the awful truth—in the company of a scowling bear named Yakov, who isn't about to take a Marshall at face value . . . especially a Marshall who has turned his dreams into chilling nightmares.
Because Yakov is the great-grandson of a foreseer . . . and he has seen Theo die in an unstoppable surge of blood. Night after night after night . . .
Contains mature themes.

March was Rizz (If you’re old like me, this is slang the kids are using for “charisma” – I’m thinking playboys, rakes, heroes that have charm for days….)
Our hero’s in Resonance Surge are StoneWater bears Pavel & Yakov Stepyrev twins, both are sexy, sweet, have charm and charisma, so I’m putting this one down for the March theme. It’s a bit late, but that’s ok. This title has been on my TBR since it came out in 2023
Resonance Surge is book seven in the Psy-Changeling Trinity by Nalini Singh and narrated by Angela Dawe.
Dame those adorable BEARS!
This series is so good and should be read in order. The original series shouldn’t be missed either. Both series read as Urban Fantasy with added romance.
The Psy-Changeling Trinity series takes place after Silence fell and the new Psy leaders have time to dig into the dark secrets and atrocities their predecessors hid during their time in power.
We are treated to a thriller in that we get to visit the Psy secret compound hospitals where some unfortunate Psy were sent to have their minds wiped. Along with a torture and the evils the Psy hid we meet a bloody serial killer.
I enjoyed and appreciated the thriller aspect paired with the slow-burn romance; between a sizzling hot senior bear clan member and a lethal Psy who was abused and manipulated in the past.
We don’t just get one romance, but two. Pavel and Arwen Mercant, a powerful e-Psy have had something going through a few books now and they finally take the plunge. Then the main couple Pax and Theo who enjoy good food, play, family, and even work together. Both romances were sweet, adorable, and a perfect pair.
As for the overall ARC we didn’t get much advancement save for brief look-ins here and there.
Audio: I’m counting on enjoying The Psy-Changeling Trinity in audio. Angela Dawe as a fabulous narrator. She does a wonderful job with this series. Her voice is smooth, clear, crisp, and brings the characters and story to life. I highly recommend the audiobooks!
Rated: 4 Stars

About Nalini Singh
I’ve been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There’s no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).
So far, I’ve worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer’s mill.

The treatment of those poor Psy was tragic, but I was glad the lighthearted bears balanced that out. 🙂
I agree. Thanks for checking out my review.
Great pick for Rizz! You are almost caught up in the series now!
I haven’t picked up a Psy-Changeling for a while now. I’m glad I did. The world is vast and enjoyable. Love the BEARS! I need to get onto my July Theme for the TBR Challenge. I have it picked out, but haven’t started that listen. ^_^ Thanks for checking out my review.
