Publisher's summary

With wings of midnight and an affinity for shadows, Jason courts darkness. But now, with the Archangel Neha's consort lying murdered in the jewel-studded palace that was his prison and her rage threatening cataclysmic devastation, Jason steps into the light, knowing he must unearth the murderer before it is too late.

Earning Neha's trust comes at a price - Jason must tie himself to her bloodline through the Princess Mahiya, a woman with secrets so dangerous, she trusts no one. Least of all an enemy spymaster.

With only their relentless hunt for a violent, intelligent killer to unite them, Jason and Mahiya embark on a quest that leads to a centuries-old nightmare... and to the dark storm of an unexpected passion that threatens to drench them both in blood.

The shine is off a bit...but I'm still interested!

I have read these 5 books in a row now and I'm going for #6! This book was a bit drab compared to the other 4. This is the story of Jason, the Spy Master, and he goes to another archangel's court to investigate a murder....and while he is there of course he becomes fascinated by a woman...a princess in fact.

The last book didn't focus on Raphael and Elena but I was okay with that, this book I really missed them. Also, the fleeting glimpses into Demetri and Honor's lives were just oddly placed. I'm still intrigued to know where these stories are headed, but this book kind of felt like filler. Oh well, onto the next one!

love the romance and supernatural theme

High quality romance. i hate that it ended. I will listen to entire series. it did not include so much serial content to make it uncomfortable.

Sweet and powerful. I liked this one a lot!

Initially, I was a bit disappointed that this book wasn't based on Raphael and Elena but as I started listening I soon lost my disappointment. The book includes touches on the stories of the other 2 couples from the series, Raphael & Elena and Dimitri & Honor, so we can see how things are going for them. The main storyline is about Jason and the Princess Mahiya. I thought the story was good and the romance grew in a way that was believable for the characters involved. The ending was sweet and even brought out a few tears (happy ones). I'd definitely recommend this book but if you haven't listened the previous Guild Hunter books in the series you should probably listen to them first. :)

AWESOME!

I am a completely biased Nalini fan. Worth the credit and can't wait for the next one.

A fantastic listen!

I loved the characters. I even found myself with tears in my eyes at some points. The ending was very satisfying for the main characters. Definitely worth the credit.

it was an okay story

it fit with the other stories in the series, but it was kinda boring to me. I expected Jason to have a more exciting story. in my opinion.

VT.FAN

What made the experience of listening to Archangel's Storm the most enjoyable?

Nalini Singh can do no wrong in my book. Both her Archangel series and her Psy-changeling series are my favorite paranormal romance books. I highly recommend both to anyone who is a fan of paranormal romance.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything!! The murder mystery twist was great though.

Which character – as performed by Justine Eyre – was your favorite?

Although I like Angela Dawe and Hilary Huber best in the paranormal romance genre Eyre did a good job on all voices.

loved the entire book.

One of her best

What did you love best about Archangel's Storm?

I adored the characters and their interaction, the slow building on their relationship and the thoroughly believable sexual tension.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Archangel's Storm?

The final scene, when Gabriel sings, though his flashbacks are truly horrifying.

Have you listened to any of Justine Eyre’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to a number and she's very good, particularly with accents.

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

The finale, when Gabriel sang.

Any additional comments?

I've liked most of the Archangel books to varying degrees, but I find I like the spin-offs, this one and Archangel's Blade, the best.

Heartrending

This book is so beautifully heartrending and yet full of such hope. Jason and Mahiya have overcome so much tragedy to get to where they are now. Justine Eyre gives a wonderful performance in this tale of strength of character.

Love this series.

I'm still not terribly impressed with the narrator, but I've grown used to it by now. The story and characters are also awesome enough for me to overlook that.
