Angels' Blood

Guild Hunter, Book 1

De: Nalini Singh

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she is the best - but she does not know if even she is good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, Elena knows failure is not an option - even if the task is impossible. Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other - and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt does not destroy her, succumbing to Raphael's seductive touch just might. For when archangels play, mortals break.

A little dark, but still a very good read...

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I wasn't a huge fan of this narrator, but that's just my own personal preference. What I've found with all of the reviews I've read is that there are many people who complain about narrators that I felt did a fine job, so although this particular narrator didn't really appeal to me, you may love her.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to take a minute to write about the first 2 books in this series because there were mixed reviews while I was trying to decide if I wanted to take the chance on them. I absolutely love Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series and have read many of the books in that series multiple times. After listening to several other series in the same genre and not truly feeling satisfied, I decided to try Nalini's Guild Hunter series as well.

I agree with some of the other reviews stating that this series is a little dark, but the books are interesting and well-written nonetheless. In the first book in this series, Angel's Blood, I didn't feel like the chemistry between the two main characters was developed/described well enough and felt like it ended without satisfaction in some sense. Then I realized that book 2 in the series further developed the story between Raphael and Elena. After finishing the 2nd book, Archangel's Kiss, I feel much better about the series and look forward to listening to the next Guild Hunter book.

Slow

The story started out kinda slow and Rafael being such a douche I really didn't like him, I wasn't really into the evil hero. However I trudged on and listen to the full novel and have to say I am pretty satisfied with the end of this book. I am excited to listen to the other audibles of this series.

excellent

I loved it. I loved the characters and their story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Great story line

I really like the story line, this book was awesome for me. Very entertaining.

Exicting and different

The Angel's Blood series is one of the best series I've read in a long time. Singh's built a wonderfully complex new world with great characters and interesting storylines. You won't be disappointed. The narrator is excellent as well.
