A short story that’s 4.5 in the Psy-Changeling paranormal romance series based in San Francisco and revolving around a silent war between the Psy and Changelings. The focus in "A Conversation" is about the Rats’ alliance with DarkRiver.
This short story is a freebie offered on Nalini Singh’s website.
My Take
This was an intriguing look into a pack of shapeshifting rats who have entered into an alliance with DarkRiver. While there have been a few references in the series about the rats, there hasn't been anything with any depth. With "A Conversation", Singh gives us this short, a very short look, into how the rats have benefited from this alliance. And how unexpectedly beneficial it's turned out to be.
It's amazing how much information Singh has provided about the rats in this short.
The Story
A casual conversation between alpha and his right-hand exposes their thoughts and surprise.
The Characters
Teijan leads the Rats. Zane is now his right-hand man. Aneca is Zane's daughter. Rissa is Zane's mate.
DarkRiver is the cat pride in the area.
The Title
The title is exactly what this is, "A Conversation".

A short quick Free read on Nalini Singh website.
It reveals a bit more about the Rats Down Below & the alliance they made with the Cats.
"His Rats were more than the dregs of society now. They were turning into one of the most well-informed and well-organized spy networks in the country. Any alpha would be proud to call them his own."

A nice short story that shows us a bit of the politics between the different changelings.
I must say being a rat shifter doesn't sound nearly as sexy as being a leopard/panther/jaguar/wolf. LOL

This is a short freebie from the authors website, another window view. This time readers get to peep in on the Rats. The incredible spies that give Darkriver a huge part of the intelligence. It's nice to get this itty-bitty chance to visit them as I've been so curious with their “pack” and their history. In the end it's just what the title states. A conversation. It's nice to hear from the Rats how their alliance with Darkriver.
Sexual Content: Clean!
3/5- Adored it, just a few minor details held it back.
