#8 Primal Mirror by Nalini Singh

In this one we get a new pack to learn about and a hidden child from one of the former councilors.  Remy is a leopard changeling of a pack that is taking over an area that has been held in trust. On patrol he finds that one of his new neighbors is Psy, but she isn’t quite normal for a Psy.  Auden Scott has been kept away from the public since she was a disappointment to her powerful parents. And it turns out she is a pawn in a plan set in motion by her mother from beyond the grave.  As usual the story builds on what has happened previously in the world among humans, Psy and Changelings.  This might be a better book to step into the series so late in the game since the focus is on a new pack we haven’t seen much of before.

#9 The Masquerades of Spring by Ben Aaronovitch

 

This is the earliest set story in the Rivers of London series and is works for both new and old fans.  Augustus has moved from London to New York and has set himself up nicely when his old school friend Thomas Nightingale comes to town on Folly business.  Jazz features in this since Augustus is a big fan of it. It was nice to see someone who knew Nightingale from before the War and the New York Jazz scene features quite a bit in this since Nightingale’s quarry is involved with this a bit. Overall, a great story and maybe we will see more of Gussie down the line.
