Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh

Archangel's Kiss (The Guild Hunter, #2)

by Nalini Singh

In this Guild Hunter novel, New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to her world of angelic rulers, vampiric servants, and the woman thrust into their darkly seductive world...

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find herself changed—an angel with wings of midnight and dawn—but her fragile body needs time to heal before she can take flight. Her lover, the stunningly dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to being in control—especially when it comes to the woman he considers his own. But Elena has never done well with authority...

They’ve barely begun to learn each other when Raphael receives an invitation to a ball from the archangel Lijuan. To refuse would be a sign of fatal weakness, so Raphael must ready Elena for the flight to Beijing—and to the nightmare that awaits. For ancient and without conscience, Lijuan’s power lies with the dead. And she has organized the most perfect and most vicious of welcomes for Elena...

The life and times of an angel made...

Another winner from the Romance Package and a great opportunity to visit with my favourite hunter, angels, vampires and archangels.

This instalment shows us that the strong can be temporarily incapacitated but can't be held down for long. The Hunter, Elena, wakes from a year-long nap with a few additional features and appendages. It takes a wee bit of adjustment, but she is determined to be strong and a hunter again...just one with wings. With a little help from her winged lover, Raphael, she will conquer her foes and climb the obstacles in her path.

Plenty of action and adventure for these two with a few psychos playing games with the lives of humans, vampires and other angels. I'm thinking that a lot of those archangels have "issues". I think the power has gone to their heads and they may have lost a few brain cells.

I again enjoyed this narrator and found her easy to listen to and follow.

I will definitely be listening to more in this series, especially if it's in the Romance Package.
