 The great thing about the 3rd book in a series is that it is no longer new to you. While I love reading a new series where you get to know the characters and everything feels so new, it lacks the meat of the storyline. 
 Caressed by Ice is the 3rd book in the Psy-changeling series. Now I have the comfort of knowing the characters and the storyline premise has really picked and became complicated. Finally I am far enough into the series that something that happened in book 1 comes back in book 3 and you say, "Ah-ha!" I love that, and to me that makes an incredible author, the connection of information throughout the series. 
 There are a few more pov's in this book then the previous installments. This allows us to keep connections with the prior characters that we fell in love with and to meet new characters; to get a view inside their minds. 
 I love the complex characters in this series. Not one of the characters are one dimensional. I love the cubs, it doesn't matter what they are doing I just want to squeeze them!

 I want to know who the "Ghost" is. I have two possibilities. I am leaning towards Faith's Father, the other option is the newest Council member. 
 Pretty sure Hawke already has a new mate that he is having issues with. & I can't wait to see how that plays out. I think it will be extremely amusing! She may be young, but she is naughty enough not to bore our Alpha. 
 I would love a book that connects the cats and the wolves as mates, especially since both have a male and a female as lieutenants that are unattached. Just a thought! 
 I would also like to see two psy come together. I think that combination would be highly interesting. 
 I did notice one issue. The "killer" pov kept talking about strangling Bren again. It was never spoken of the first strangulation. That was confusing. Also our young counselor was his mentors accomplice. Why wasn't he present at Bren's abduction then? Curiously his mentors demise opened up a position of advancement. Maybe he set him up to take over his position. Just a thought, I'm sure this will be addressed in future installments. Doubtful on the strangulation issue, tho. 
 On to the next installment of this fantastic series. 
 Highly original storyline, interesting characters, everything connecting, and completely addicting!
