Archangel's Heart

Guild Hunter Series, Book 9

By: Nalini Singh

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

One of the most vicious archangels in the world has disappeared. No one knows if Lijuan is dead or has chosen to sleep the long sleep of an immortal. But with her lands falling into chaos under a rising tide of vampiric bloodlust, a mysterious and ancient order of angels known as the Luminata calls the entire Cadre together to discuss the fate of her territory.

Accompanying her archangelic lover Raphael to the Luminata compound, guild hunter-turned-angel Elena senses that all is not as it seems. Secrets echo from within the stone walls of the compound, and the deeper Elena goes, the uglier the darkness. But neither Raphael nor Elena is ready for the brutal truths hidden within - truths that will change everything Elena thinks she knows about who she is.

Nothing will ever be the same again.

Critic reviews

"Singh explores power, love, and redemption with her typical consummate skill." ( Kirkus)

great series!!!

I'm obsessed with this serious and Justine is the best. love love love love love

love this series

loved it this series is riveting and I have enjoyed it fully and completely want more

best yet

I love this series and this was the best one so far. Keep them coming!

Outstanding

This is such an outstanding series, I can,t wait for this awesome story to continue.

OK I'll Admit It....

I'm an ardent fan of Nalini Singh's Archangel series.

In this story, the lead characters begin to mature, especially Elaina but Raphael as well. They become more dimensional as they navigate their lives together as powerful beings and how they relate to other people, no matter their social station. Of course, there's the love thing between these two characters but I look for more than just the romance in any story. Recommend it to Nalini fans.

Riveting and Intriguing

Loved this book which delves into the Luminata and their hidden secrets as Elena searches for clues regarding her grandmother.

ANOTHER ADDICTIVE & RICHLY LAYERED STORY

For fans of the Guild Hunter series this will be an auto download because, like me, they know that again and again Nalini Singh delivers riveting plots that are bursting at the seams with descriptive scenes and awesome characters. And this one certainly doesn't disappoint as we join Elena and Raphael once more as they find themselves in the center of Cadre politics, get summoned by the mysterious Luminata, find a village that's terrified of Angels, battle the random effects of the Cascade and uncover a sinister chilling secret that will leave Elena reeling.

Worth a credit? As we're already at book 9 there's no new love story to be had between these two because the Archangel of New York has already fallen in love with his Guild Hunter.. and theirs is a beautiful and solid relationship to witness. Instead, together they stand in another captivating and, YES, creditworthy story that's cloaked in intrigue, suspense, danger and tension - ready to fight against hidden enemies, protecting one another and are prepared to die for each other. And, as always, Justine Eyre's narration made every chapter and every character come alive.

Another hit in the Guild Hunter Series

I love the strong and smart female characters Singh portrays in this series. I also really enjoyed the character development of Elena, Raphael, and others you’ll like reading more about. I’ll not give anything away. I’ll just highly recommend this book to any fan of the series or author.

Love the storyline. But the pleading voice? No.

What made the experience of listening to Archangel's Heart the most enjoyable?

The storyline is always wonderful!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Archangel's Heart?

Elaina being reunited with her Grand Parents.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Justine Eyre?

Justine Eyre was ok, but she always sounds like she is pleading/begging for something.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A glimpse into the world of an Archangle.

Closure

I’m finally getting closure. I’ve always wondered about the history of Elena’s family, if you have as well. Then read this book.

As always Justine has blown me away with her narration. The voices she assigns each character help you distinguish each character. This woman is amazing and so talented. She fits this series perfectly!
