Guild Hunter, Book Two. Imprisonment has never been so seductive!,
By
This review is from: Archangel's Kiss (Mass Market Paperback)
Guild Hunter Elena Deveraux wakes up from a year-long coma to find herself changed. She is now an angel with wings the colors of midnight and dawn (black and dark blue). She currently resides at the Refuge, a place of sanctuary, unknown about by humans. Elena's fragile body is still weak. She has not learned how to fight or balance with her new wings, much less fly. Her beloved, the gorgeous and dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to always being in control. But Elena has never done will with authority and still refuses to allow Raphael total control of her actions. In fact, anytime Raphael enters her mind without permission, Elena pushes him out - which should have been impossible for anyone to do.As they begin to learn about each other, an invitation to a ball in Elena's honor is received. The event is to be held in Beijing, by the archangel Zhou Lijuan. To refuse would be a sign of weakness. Elena begins rigorous training to prepare for any surprises that may be awaiting her arrival. Lijuan is evolving and now has the power to bring the dead back from the grave. These pets are called the Reborn and are hardly more than gruesome reanimated corpses. As Elena prepares, the Refuge is being shaken to its very core. An angel among them has targeted Elena, even going so far as to break the supreme law which forbids the abuse of a child. Elena cannot go anywhere alone and begins to feel as though she is in a silk prison. Raphael and his Seven protect Elena as she uses her hunter-born abilities to track a deadly and cunning foe. ***** FIVE STARS! If I am asked whether the Guild Hunter series is worth reading my answer is always, "Posi-lutely!" This is a stunning world filled with dark and beautiful characters that have already enslaved a huge fan base. Vivid and compelling, this exciting story will quickly grab your imagination and never let so. Imprisonment has never been so seductive! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

This review is from: Archangel's Kiss (Mass Market Paperback)
I am half way through this book and I am torn. One part of me can't put it down, the other part parcels out each page carefully, hoping the book will never end. I am already planning to reread it asap. I love all her books, have read Angel's Blood three times now, and this is a worthy successor. Nalini Singh is a talented and generous author and her stories are filled with colour,complicated characters, sensuality and story. Cannot wait for her next book, whether it be about shapeshifters or angels or something in a whole new direction.

Great Read,

This review is from: Archangel's Kiss (Mass Market Paperback)
After a year long coma, healing from the certain-death she survived at the end of the previous book, Elena finds herself in a position of weakness, status she is ready to change at all costs. She have to learn to use her new angel body, but it promises to be a hard journey because not everyone is happy with the presence of the first Made angel in living memory.The refuge isn't a peaceful escape. A series of murders and bloody pranks are disturbing the sanctuary and some these attacks are specifically aiming Elena. Surrounded by numbers of pissed off Vamps, angels and archangels, Elena will do her best to train hard, learn Angels History and uncover the malevolent mastermind behind the carnage. Archangel's Kiss is a great follow to Angels' Blood. I had a great time following Elena steps into her new immortality and her new angel quality did nothing to her snappy attitude. Rebel to the bones, she finds herself fighting for her ground in her recent relation with the Archangel Raphael. With two stubborn beings meeting in a face-off it can lead to catastrophe but they handled it fairly well. Both lovers are hunted by memories of the past and it was nice to finally discover more about their shady history. Elena has been training with a few of Raphael's Seven and I particularly enjoyed those moments. Playful, yet dangerous, those moments added an edge to the story with Elena's spicy and colorful remarks. Illium, also known as bluebell, was my favorite, followed closed behind by Jason, Raphael's Spymaster. Dmitri is present in the first third of the book but will eventually vanish from the plot, except for a mention here and there. This book is once again filled with sexual tension and a fair amount of steamy scenes, even though I don't feel like the scenes were necessary to the plot, it didn't weight down the story either, so the balance was just fine. Singh managed to keep the suspense high in this book and we don't discover who's at the head of all the bloody events until nearly the end. I also liked the end, great final battle with room for a third book, without any gut wrenching cliff-hanging end. If you haven't started this series yet, I strongly suggest it, but beware virgin eyes steamy scenes are an intricate part of those books.
