If Angels’ Blood is an indicator, I’ll have to read Nalini’s backlist! Suffice to say, I am a newly converted fan. This is a wonderful book, complete with intriguing characters, a tightly written plot, and a compelling universe. While I think the Urban Fantasy label is a misnomer (this is indeed a paranormal romance at its core), and a number of the paranormal romance genre conventions that make me uncomfortable are present, I could honestly care less. In any case, I decided to give this book a go…and I’m so glad that I did. Plus, this new series is being marketed as more of an “Urban Fantasy Romance” which had me interested. That said, Ana absolutely LOVES Nalini’s work (as does a huge chunk of the blogosphere!), and I was curious. Thea: As Ana says above, I was kinda arm twisted into reading this book – not because I don’t like Nalini’s writing (in fact, this is the first book I’ve read by her), but because my experiences with Paranormal Romance have been pretty schizophrenic, more often negative than positive (hello, allergic reaction to Kresley Cole). I loved it so much, I was afraid my review would turn out to be a series of incoherent thoughts followed by a WOW, BUY IT (not very helpful is it?) so I asked Thea, who is not a fan of Paranormal Romance and had never read a Nalini Singh novel before, to read the book for a more balanced view on the book. From the get go Angels’ Blood grabbed my attention and I was completely engrossed by the story and captivated by the protagonist, Elena. I was, of course, a bit concerned about this new venture and I wondered if she would be able to write two series at the same time and make them different but equally good? The answer is a resounding YES.
For when archangels play, mortals break…Īna: In the interest of full disclosure: it is not a secret that I am a Nalini Singh fangirl, more like a nalinisingh-aholic -I think she is a truly gifted writer and I love her Psy/Changeling series. Even if the hunt doesn’t destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just may. 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. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear-failure is not an option…even if the task is impossible.īecause this time, it’s not a wayward vamp she has to track. Summary: Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she’s the best-but she doesn’t know if she’s good enough for this job. She then got Thea to read because it was REALLY good. Why did we read the book: Ana is a fan of Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series and when she got an ARC of Angels’ Blood she nearly had a heart attack. Stand Alone or series: Book one in the brand new Guild Hunter series.
