Archangel's Blade

The Guild Hunter Series, Book 4

By: Nalini Singh

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

The severed head marked by a distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of centuries long past... but Dmitri's need to discover the truth is nothing to the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the tattoo.

Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an archangel's right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal sensuality... the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused in her.

As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting - and it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once more.

Good twist on Love Strory

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to a number of people, It's really good on detailing the characters and making you interested.

What did you like best about this story?

I found this book to be a surprising good love story, great build up and you really want these characters to get together.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

All it took was one listen and I knew I was going to need to hear the emotions of these characters plus Justine does a very good job as Demitri - this is my favorite so far of the series.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked how Demitri's character deals with Honor when he believes he is being deceived.

Any additional comments?

This book really has a strong love story and shows us more on how and why Rafael and Demitri are so close and how their bond was made. Your going to love how Demitri pushes the envelope with Honor but knows when he has gone to far.

Wonderful writer

When Demetri found out Honor was his wife from the past

Any additional comments?

Nalini please keep writing this series.

I fell in love with Demetri

I almost stopped reading this series. I was a huge fan of the Psy Changeling series. so I wanted to love the Guild Hunter series. after a few of the firs book I found Elaina whiney and was beginning to get board with her and the very nasal reading from the Narrator. this was going to be the last book. Demetris' stirt made me want to know more about.. Sorrow, and a host of other stories. I only wish the same narrator for the Psy Changeling series, Angela Dawe was the same for this series... demetris ' story ...great..the narrator not so good

STEAMY!!!!!

This story is about the devilish Dmitiry, and Oh my goodness I can't believe the sex scenes. So explicit. As if I am in the room. And Honor, well lets just say I thought Elena was kick ass, I think Honor is supernatural. This is the kind of book, I could listen to again and again. And it will never get old. The narration is great quality.
The best part about this book is the way Nalini Singh pulled me right into the book by the very first page. I am so hooked and can't wait to listen to the next one!

Another Engrossing Vampire/Hunter Story

Would you listen to Archangel's Blade again? Why?

I think the story is interesting enough and the characters so well developed, that I'm sure I will listen to it again one day. The Psy/Changling stories are such favorites, I didn't expect to enjoy these Arch angel, Vampire and Hunter stories as much as I do.

What did you like best about this story?

I've wanted to hear Demetri's story from the beginning. His back story and this present love story does not disappoint.

Which scene was your favorite?

No one scene stands out, but the unfolding of the story and relationships keeps me involved until the very end.

Any additional comments?

I listen to books as I travel hours for business in my car. Nalini Singh's books get me so involved I can miss an exit ramp... but hopefully I'm still a safe driver. It makes the ride seem so much shorter.

One of the best of the Guildhunter Series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Really enjoyed Dmitri's story - always an intriguing character, appreciated hearing his history.

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable series - can't wait for the next one!

Better story than the priors

Its an ok story, good background while working. I can't say its the greatest enthralling series but its worth a listen. I liked the series better in print years ago.

Raphael's Blade, Dimitri, has his own story

Dimitri has lived a thousand years as a vampire, changed against his will. He has dealt with his soul-deep grief and anger by training constantly and becoming a warrior to reckon with. He was Raphael's human friend, then became the head of his 7 when Raphael ascended to Archangel. Honor is a Guild hunter damaged when she was kidnapped and held captive for 2 months. When an old evil comes back to harm Dimitri, Honor is drawn in to assist. In coming to Dimitri's attention, she gains the determination of the Blade to find her attackers. In being drawn together, old wounds are exposed, & past history revealed. Very emotional, but well-written. Eyre does a good job differentiating between characters and emotions. Well worth the credit or purchase price.

I listen over and over to the Guild Hunter series

this one is as good as the others. Nalini Singh has become one of my favorite authors. I just wish she wrote faster

A Good Guild Hunter Novel

I really liked this novel but I will admit to having a little mixed feelings during the listening. It involved some scenes that were disturbing to listen to (scenes including all kinds of abuse: physical, sexual and emotional) so be warned. These scenes were backstory that was needed but still a little hard to listen to at times. I loved the varying plot lines that were integrated in to the story. I liked the way Singh brought Honor and Dmitri together but I sort of wish the Ingred/Honor link wasn't part of it. It seemed like Dmitri had already come to love Honor on his own without that link though so I was happy with their HEA.
