Blaze of Memory, by Nalini SIngh

[rachelmanija]

Oh, Nalini Singh, you are so fond of horrendous gender roles and controlling alpha males controlling women and clichéd descriptions and the word “possessive” as the ultimate accolade for a man, and yet I can’t seem to quit you. Especially when I need something light to read on a plane, which is where I read this one

I was wondering if the metal thing about the eyes had to do with his superpower of controlling metal.

I liked this one, too, though I liked it a little less when the angst scaled back.

Too much boyfriend, not enough roller-derby assassinating?

[rachelmanija]

Exactly!

[seajules]

I hate when that happens.

Does the heroine shoot the hero? Because that was the best part of Angels Make Vampires. I'm still saddened that it wasn't fatal.

She nails him with a tranquilizer gun, but that turns out to be part of a mutually concocted plan.

Perhaps it had been dipped in liquid nitrogen?

[lnhammer]

If she touched it, it would snap.

But not, apparently, crackle or pop?
