The novels of Garth Nix have provided me with a successful blend of fantasy and romance in the past, so I was excited to try his new series set in an entirely new fantasy world. After unleashing an angelic plague that turned the entire population of Ystara into either ravening beastlings or piles of dead gray…
The continuing story of Raphael, the most powerful archangel in North America and Elena, his human-turned-angel consort, continues with the eleventh volume of Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series, Archangel’s Prophecy. Elena, still getting used to her existence as a blossoming, winged immortal, is still dealing with the aftermath of the events of book ten, Archangel’s Viper. …
In Embracing the Demon, readers are introduced to Dale Highland, a woman on the run from her past as well as those who would see her dead. It’s a fast-paced novel that brims with action, but parts of the plot proved difficult for me to follow, and I came away from the book with an…
I’ve probably re-read each of Nalini Singh’s books at least once. Between the Psy-Changeling, Guild Hunter, and Rock Hard series she’s written thirty novels and novellas -so… yeah, that’s a lot of time I’ve spent in her worlds. So be warned – unbiased as I try to be, this review of Archangels’s Viper is definitely…
Holley Trent takes us to a world of magical, winged beings in The Angel’s Hunger, which combines elfin magic and angelic passion to create a novel that’s….sadly lackluster. Centuries ago, the fallen angel Tamatsu made the mistake of betraying the elf Fionnuala, his lover and soulmate, with several women. All at once. Elves tether themselves…
I loved this cover so much that I requested the book knowing nothing about either author or the series. The book, unfortunately, does not live up to the cover. The two Stavros brothers, Rafe and Gabriel (if I never see heroes with those names again, it will be too soon) run a mega-successful Las Vegas…
It’s hard to imagine that Angel’s Blood, the first of Nalini SIngh’s Guild Hunter books, was originally just a stand-alone, (according to an FAQ I read). There’s such a wealth of world building that one could believe that the author had conceived of vampire kisses (not what you think), Contracts, angelic scents, and a stupid Grimoire before the…
I’ve been consistently impressed with Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series since I read the first book. It’s easy to become sucked into the character’s lives and loves. The flipside of this, though, is that with each new book, the expectations for future books grow just a bit higher. Happily, this latest installment—the story of Naasir…
This was my most anticipated book of 2015 and I am so pleased to say that it lived up to my excitement. Ee created a wonderful and terrifying angel apocalypse and then used it to show how humanity – both the good and bad of it- continue on after a catastrophe. Since neither of the…
Before I start this review and get lost in talking about how much I enjoyed Archangel’s Legion, let me make one thing clear. You must read at least some of the other books in the series before you attempt this one. Nalini Singh has created a brilliant but complicated world in her Guild Hunter series,…
