Publisher's summary

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.

love this series!

I love this series!! Read it multiple times (and currently re-reading again rn!). I love the characters— Elena and Raphael *swoon*. I love raphael’s seven (shout out to Aodhan and Illium *double swoon*). I love their stories. I love this magical world and complexities within the world and characters. Nalini is an amazing writer and a source of inspiration — I laugh. I cry. I get sucked into her stories and stay up late reading. I always know I’m about to have an epic experience reading one of her books. I always pre-order her stories! Do not miss out on this series because you may have been swayed by negative reviews. These books are amazing!!!
Note: This review is long overdue and will be the same for all the books in the series.

love tgis series

I rrad these in hard print but listening to it was sooo much better

Interesting!!!

It made every bit of the moment so good to listen to as the story progress.

Brilliant

I completely enjoyed this book was captured from the very beginning until the end, narration is perfect and you will definitely enjoy

Archangel

LOVED IT! Fascinating and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Need more !

Favorite Series

Most memorial moment is when Raphael and Elena fell. it's my sixth time reading it, and I still tear up.

A Paranormal Pickup

Romance builds behind the hunt for a rogue angel. Interesting twist on the Vampire myth without the book being about vampires. The story was well written, the plot well developed. This author is now on my 'to look for' list.

Very Enjoyable

This is my first foray into Nalini Singh's writing. I am a fan of paranormal/vampire/angel/romance series and this one is a good start. I was glad there is a mix of reality and city life with fantasy as that makes the story much more "real" to me as I am more able to relate and care about the characters.

Not the most in-depth characters and it got a bit tiresome constantly getting little hints throughout the book of Elena's past, but the concept of the society of angels and vampires with humans and all the hierarchy was really well done.

Justine Eyre's narration was very good even for the male voices which can be difficult. I will definitely get the next books.

Excellent book & narrator

Narrator did a great job of acting out the various voices, making it easy to distinguish characters. Singh is an all time fave of mine and the narrator did an excellent job bringing her words to life

Incredibly good but...

I loved the world system and the characters in this story! I also really enjoyed seeing Raphael become more in touch with his humanity as he got closer to his hunter, my only problem was that there is a scene where he almost mind rapes her and it felt like they just ignored it after he figured out what happened and she got mad... It just felt a little forced/rushed in that part for me, like there needed to be something more said? I don't know.
Illium was a gift though. Best blue boy ever!
