Mystical

I like this book better than the first one. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them.

excellent

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

Wow!! Book 2 even better

Didn't expect the book to get better but it did, I must say I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, normally I read books focused on vampires strictly but I love the differences in how Nalini brings them into the storyline without making them the entire focus. I really enjoy her work now and will see what else she has written.

Great again

I think I enjoyed this second instalation even better than the first. I liked seeing thmmm

Hot and Mysterious

I love the way Raphael says 'Elena' and everything he wants to say is included in that one word. Kudos Justine Eyre

Great second book!

Great second book in the series. I enjoyed it and thought it was very well done. It great job of furthering the series. It built on the relationship of Elena and Raphael and did a good job with it while the secondary plot interesting. I was well satisfied with this additon to the series and the only thing it left me wanting for is more.

Good Story, Good Narration

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

If I enjoy a story I usually will listen to it again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rafael. I like how his character in developing and still stays true.

What about Justine Eyre’s performance did you like?

I like narrators who can individualize each character in such a way that each person is distinct and the acting is compelling.

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

Elena's flashbacks were vivid.

Gimme more of the seven!

Audiobook, borrowed through the Audible romance package.

Thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the seven. I love this world and how it flips traditional angels/archangels being good as just these powerful beings that are largely lacking humanity. Or any care for the humans, vampires, and angels under their care. Reminiscent of the stories of old Greek/Roman gods that cared more about themselves and whatever drama they had going on than the humans that worshiped them. Alas, I digress.

In the first book in this series, the relationship between Elena and Raphael is rushed and largely unexplained. Not that any of that is really cleared up in this book, but the relationship is more consistent and steady as they grow closer. Less all over the place.

The absolute best part of this book though, is that you get to meet more of Raphael's seven and LAWD. I want a book for all of them! Definitely dying to see what's going to happen with Elena's precious Bluebell.

This narrator, Justine Eyre, is so good. The only accent or voice I found that didn't work in this book is her southern one for the creepy archangel over Alabama and such? Is that right? Not really an easy way to go back and check in an audiobook unless I'd left bookmarks. Oh well.

Love this series

I so love this series & have listened to it so many times I have really lost count. Raphael & Elena are an awesome couple. I love all the secondary characters as well.

Glad I found this series

And another wonderful part in the guild hunter series. finished it within a day and did not want to stop listening . Can`t wait for the next one to get started. Narrator is fantastic
