内容説明
Since her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness: Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he lost the woman who would've been his mate long ago. Now he walks alone. But Sienna stirs his primal heart, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf. Yet as they strip away each other's secrets, a deadly enemy is striking at everything the pack holds dear...but Sienna's darkest secret may savage the pack that is her home-and the alpha who is its heartbeat.

Everything I've Been Waiting For...And More
2011/6/1
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
Hawke's book has been highly anticipated by me since I first read Slave to Sensation, the first book in this wonderful Psy/Changeling series. Over the past year I've tried to subdue that anticipation as much as possible - sure that it could only lead to disappointment.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
This is the story I've been waiting for. The sexual tension between Hawke and Sienna is nearly explosive. Hawke doesn't take too long to come around to the decision that his wolf has been pushing him towards - pursue Sienna. It might take a little creativity on Sienna's part, but once he does; Oh boy. There are a few `almost' moments, where Hawke and Sienna's courting is interrupted by everything from injuries to Psy scouting parties to outright attacks, and you could feel the frustration, as well as the responsibility in each of those moments.
Hawke was the same alpha that I've always loved. The alpha who has feral wolves claiming him as their own alpha. In this dangerous war with the Psy, Hawke barely has time to set aside his responsibilities. So he never does. He and Sienna steal small moments, with the help of their Pack, and they don't give up on what they have together.
Learning more about Sienna, and what she has grown up with, what she's grown up expecting - to die before she reaches 25 - was heart-wrenching at times. And yet she always managed to impress me with the way she's managed to become such a strong young woman. She is absolutely more than a match for Hawke. But she's so much more than a perfect match for him, she's a fierce, beautiful, determined, resourceful woman that's not afraid to take chances with her heart, and will protect those she cares about, no matter the cost to herself.
There's an additional side story between Lara, SnowDancer's healer and Walker Lauren. It's an incredibly sweet story that I was happy to read. There's a lot of focus on the Lauren's in general in Kiss of Snow, with more of one of my favorite characters (Judd) showing up quite a bit too.
By now there are around 50 distinct characters that we've met more deeply than passing by in Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling world. She continues to give each of them a voice that is solely their own. They act within their character all the time and are each noticeably different. Combine that with a world that continues to grow while following its own rules and Ms. Singh continues to blow away all my expectations.
Kiss of Snow satisfied every one of my expectations, and then some. It's a sexy, sweet, enthralling story from beginning to end. I literally could not put it down from the moment I started it and was up late into the night inhaling this story. There's no end in sight for my love of Nalini Singh's writing, and I'm eagerly anticipating her next release.

4 stars overall, but some of the sizzle is allowed to fizzle in the 'fade to blacks'
2011/6/6
形式:ハードカバー
In addition to the long awaited pairing of Snow Dancer wolf alpha Hawke and Psy Sienna Lauren, Kiss of Snow offers a big showdown between the Psy and the wolves, the birth of Lucas and Sascha's child and a second romance between Sienna's uncle Walker and pack healer Lara - as well as tons of cameos from the huge cast of the now ten book long series.
As the sum of its parts, I liked Kiss of Snow. The parts where the Snow Dancer's make preemptive strikes against the Psy and the final battle was both climactic and emotionally intense. And I enjoyed seeing Lucas and Sascha, and was thrilled to witness their new arrival and what a powerful nurturing instinct the baby stirs up in all of the predatory Changelings.
Now to Hawke and Sienna, while I wasn't exactly disappointed, their story isn't exactly what I'd hoped for either. Some of the intensity that Singh builds early on (and has been building for several books) is lessened by trying to draw the tension out way too long. Multiple times Singh stokes the fire between Hawke and Sienna and puts them in a situations where emotions (and attraction) are running high and then fades to black, leaving us wonder how they managed to avoid taking the next step when there has always been the feeling that should Hawke ever lower his barriers even for an instant, his wolf would claim Sienna in the most primal way. Add to that frequent interruptions every time that things start to get hot and heavy between them later in the book, plus thread switches to other story lines, and the result is that when they finally do come together it just wasn't as explosive as it could have been had some of the earlier situations been allowed to reach their natural conclusions. I am tempted to go back and read only their story thread and see if I have the same reaction without the thread shifts to chop things up.
One my favorite parts of KoS was the side romance with Walker and Lara, which was sweet and complete and allowed Singh to finally clue us in on all of the details of the Walker family. Although in some ways, I wish that Singh would have saved their story for another book/novella. While the presence of Walker and Lara as individuals was key to this story, their story did take some of the focus from Hawke and Sienna - and some of what Lara goes through mirrors what is happening to Sienna, which had an impact on the emotional dynamic of the book as well.
Still, I wouldn't have missed this installment in Singh's series and when all was said and done, I was happy to find that though Kiss of Snow was supposed to complete the initial Psy-Changeling story arc, the saga doesn't feel at all finished and I've read that there are more novellas and several full length books yet to come.

I wish it were not so

We have waited forever for these two to get together and then they get their book and they SHARE IT! What?! Really?! Hawke and Sienna don't even get an entire book? About 20% was devoted to Lara and Walker. Another 25% was war.
And then there were at least two scenes that we get a part of and they suddenly stop and we are stuck with their internal monologues several pages later which tells us what we missed!
It left me feeling cheated.
I love Nalini Singh and this was supposed to be the ultimate book. Hawke and Sienna. OMG. I have waited and waited for this book. I told people to not bother talking to me on 5/31 b/c I would be reading Kiss of Snow. So yeah, I had high expectations but I don't think wanting more scenes between the two characters is unreasonable.
