Guild Hunter, Book #3

De: Nalini Singh

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil. A vampire has attacked a girls' school---the assault one of sheer, vicious madness---and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders. The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear. An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed.

amazing story..a writer that entrances the reader

couldn't stop listening..entranced by the writers skill..even though the narrator needs to research her pronunciation of some words.

Great to listen too

This book is about Elena and Raphael dealing with an Ancient awakens. Dealing with the weather chances from the awaken as well as the other things from this too. Raphael thinks it is his mother that is awakening so he has to deal with the nightmares. Elena tells Raphael that they will deal with it together. Elena has nightmares from when her mother and sisters died when she was young she had killed the thing that killed her family. Elena has to hunt in this book for a vampire that hurt young girls that was at the local girl school where your step sisters goes. But now it would be time to buy the book to see what happens. I will be getting the other books from this author.

great!

Nalini Singh delivers yet again. A Great read. Engaging & entertaining with just the right amount of romance mixed in.

LOVE Nalini Singh...

this story is drawing and powerful. it speaks for itself. Read it or listen. FEEL.

Addictive!

This is a pretty addictive series. Raphael and Elena's relationship is one of my favorite kind to read about. Raphael is the big, bad, I-can-kill-all, kind of Angel. Elena is no longer human but she is basically a baby Angel. While she's one of the best vampire hunters, she's still more weak and vulnerable in this supernatural world.

Raphael is still cold and distant but you can see his love for Elena very clearly. He is very protective of her and puts her above all others. She's had fear of him in the beginning but that has never stopped herself from fighting back with him. She fell just as hard for him as he had for her. Addictive.

Each book seem to start right where the last one leaves off. In Archangel's Consort, Raphael's mom is waking from sleep and causing all kinds of havoc. They learn pretty quickly that she does not approve of Elena. Typical mother-in-law right there. Caliane was already considered mad before she disappeared and now she will be even stronger. Raphael must make a choice about whether she should live or die.

Can't believe I am not bored with these yet!

I have this bad habit of loving the first, and possibly the second, book in a series but then I get bored....I always come back, but I give it a break....not with this series apparently! The only other time I got past book 3 and still loved listening was the Black Dagger Brotherhood...so trust me when I say I am shocked I am still loving this series!

This is book 3 in the Guild Hunter series, and Ellianora/Elli/Elena is still kicking butt and taking names! We learn more about everyone's past, more than we wanted to know in some cases, and we have more conflict with Elena's dad, and get to glimpse more of Elena's side of the family...some good...some bad...and one family secret divulged at the end that makes you go....WOW...what will THAT mean for the future story line?!?!?!? We also have some new characters in this book...namely Raphael's mom...but as Elena explained to Raphael not everyone gets along with their mother in law!

Can't wait to listen to the next installment to hear how THAT whole thing is going to go! Such a rich and creative world...Mrs. Singh keep popping those whacked out happy pills because the worlds you create in your stories have me on the edge of my seat!

If you haven't read the first book just give it a try!!! Put it in your wish list and Audible will tell you when it goes on sale for ridiculously cheap....what's the harm!

Still enjoying this series.

I know other reviewers said they are tired about Elenna's "daddy" issues, and I agree her freezing in fear at each memory is getting a little old, but they were a huge part of her past. Takes a while to get over trauma, especially when you are slowly piecing it together. Aside from that I love how endearing her and Raphaels relationship has become, little moments that make you smile while listening. I also still love the way things are described, whether it's a scent or that way something looks. I would say the steamy scenes aren't that exciting as the books go on since it's more of the same but they are still there if you enjoy those parts. Will continue to listen to this series.

Ended way too soon

Bought this in paperback as soon as it came out and now listening to it. Nalini Singh could have written another 300 pages and I would have read it with just as much anticipation. The ending came way too soon. Good twists but there was much more steaminess on this one than the previous two novels. I am not complaining...
I would really like to have seen more of the last 1/3 of the book develop but oh well. Guess I am a slave to buy the 4th for that.

Loved it

This series is absolutely incredible and definitely a must read for anyone who loves the supernatural

great

love this series and Justine Eyre who is reading it she is great can't wait for the next one
