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

If you could sum up Archangel's Kiss in three words, what would they be?

Dark, sexy, immortals.

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.

AWESOME!!!

I LOVE THIS AUTHOR! JUST LOVE HER! KEEP THEM COMING! CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK.

The plot was plotting

I don’t know if I liked the first one better or not. This was still a great book. The plot opens up so many avenues. Can’t wait to keep reading the series

I LOVE Nalini Singh !!!!

I can't decide which series I like better, this one or the psy-changeling series. They are both extremely phenominal in their own ways. Nalini Singh has become my new favorite author; I aspire to become one myself, and she is my biggest role model. This series is very captivating, the characters likeable and well-described. I didn't like the narrator's voice at first, but I think it was because I wasn't used to it. I've since come to like it, however I think I like the narrator of the Psy-changeling series more, her male voices were more realistic, as well as her different female voices.

Another fine story

The story line can stand on its own, but shines in the series. Eyre has a very nice voice but she doesn’t seem to have much emotional range, which I didn’t notice so much until certain key times that passion or deep anger should have shown. It’s almost like she was reading the words without understanding the context.
