Archangel’s Legion (Guild Hunter #6) by Nalini Singh


Paranormal Romance
Archangel's Legion (Guild Hunter, #6)What Goodreads Says:
Nalini Singh, the New York Times bestselling “alpha author of paranormal romance” (Booklist) returns to an immortal world of violent passion and lethal power…on the brink of a deadly archangelic war.
Angels are falling from the sky in New York, struck down by a vicious, unknown force.

Vampires are dying impossibly of disease.

Guild hunter Elena Deveraux and the Archangel Raphael must discover the source of the wave of death before it engulfs their city and their people, leaving New York a ruin and Raphael’s Tower under siege by enemy archangels.

Yet even as they fight desperately to save the city, an even darker force is stirring, its chill eyes trained on New York…and on Raphael. Rivers of crimson and nightmares given flesh, the world will never again be the same…
In the sixth book of the Guild Hunter series we are back with Elena (Guild Hunter and newly made angel) and Raphael (the Archangel who made her).  They are under attack and must work against overwhelming odds.
In Archangel’s Legion we get a closer look at the marriage between Elena and Raphael.  Both are such strong characters and that strength brings some conflict between the two.  Elena has to accept that Raphael does not show others the side he shows her.  She has to make sure he understands her commitment to human’s she has know for years.   Characters from previous books are part of the story but the focus is on Elena and Raphael.
The book is filled with tension.  There is a war coming and they are outnumbered.  They are being weakened by disease and other attacks.  Elena is still coping with problems with her family and the new knowledge that is revealed about other hunters in her past.  All of this combines to make an exciting story.  Look for some surprises when the battle finally starts and for enough loose ends to set up the next book due out in 2014.
Archangel’s Legion keeps the Guild Hunter series as exciting as ever and sets the stage for the next book.
Jove published Archangel’s Legion by Nalini Singh in 2013.

Archangel’s Consort by Nalini Singh


Archangel's Consort (Guild Hunter)Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy

Archangel’s Consort is the third book in the Guild Hunter series and I think this is the best one so far.  Elena Deveraux is a Vampire hunter, a newly made angel and the lover/consort of the lethal Archangel of New York, Raphael.  They are just returned from one dangerous mission to find that there is a new evil in New York.  Vampires are descending into bloodlust, Raphael is suddenly subject to unexpected rages and storms are shaking the earth.  The rising of an ancient archangel is the cause and not just any ancient archangel but Caliane, Raphael’s mother.  Elena is in danger from the events and she and Raphael must work together to understand what is happening and prevent more harm.

Archangel’s Consort is a great story that kept me reading.   Nalini Singh has added more depth and complexity to the world she created making it even more realistic and riveting.  The story is fast paced, filled with action, tension, romance and a full cast of well-drawn characters. The next book in the series, Archangel's Blade, will be out in September of 2011.  I look forward to seeing more of Elena and Raphael and a world ruled by angels.
