            “Visions of Heat” is the second book in the Psi- changeling series written by Nailini Singh. The series follows different characters living in a kind of Science Fiction Futuristic world. The series considered it is considered adult as it does have some erotic/ mature content on it. The world can be considered also a bit into dystopia as the three races: humans, changeling and psi, are governed by the last ones, who are supposedly the “perfect” race.

            Lucas and Sasha had started a revolution without even being conscious about it.

Faith Nightstart is a cardinal psi-c. What this means is that she is one of the most powerful clairvoyants that exist on the world. Although, psi-c are also considered the most vulnerable kind, that’s because their senses, physical and psychical are more developed; therefore any uncontrolled contact could affected them. On account of this, they usually live protected, as well as, controlled on isolated areas, where they would work predicting business-like matters for different enterprises in change for money. This money goes to their “clan”, who will be the ones responsible for their life, as they tend to go insane as they grow older, or that’s what the council has made them believe.

Faith was afraid this was already started for her. The reason for that is because she has been having some visions of different murders, fulfilled by the same killer. She got really afraid specially after visualizing her sister’s murder. She hadn’t told; afraid of the reprisals the council might take. The only person she can think of, that might listen and perhaps help her, is the renegade, Sasha Duncan. Therefore she escaped her own fortress and got into the woods, in the look for Sasha, who was somehow surviving along with the leopards. Nevertheless, she’ll have to deal with one of the sentinels first. A Jaguar in a Leopard family, who will push her to limits she thought will broke her down.

            “Visions of Heat” was a good second installment on this adult series. The first think I want to point out that even if this series is considered erotica, somehow, the main point of the series isn’t even the romance. The romance, and hence the sexual relationships are things that happen along with the adventures on this books. This adventures I think could be compared to dystopian books, as they are kind of revelling themselves against a government which hide things from them, and control them somehow. This is the main reason why I really recommend this series to those readers who are adults but find YA really enjoyable.

However, this second book isn’t as good as the first one. It wasn’t as captivating, still quite fast paced and absorbing somehow. I liked the psi part of the society got a bit more revealed. However, I didn’t feel the relationship between Vaughn and Faith wasn’t as good as Sasha’s and Lucas’. Their chemistry didn’t quite reach me, especially towards Faith. I almost felt like she didn’t even like Vaughn.

In conclusion, this was a really good book. And I, of course, recommend this book to anyone looking for a science fiction, adult, romance series.
