A strong, intriguing prologue made me really psyched to dive into this angel versus demon, good versus evil story. Unfortunately, by the end of the first chapter my enthusiasm had fizzled. Seline O’Shaw is a succubus who finds herself being targeted for elimination. In need of protection, she seeks Sammael, a former angel…
Oh goody, we’re back on track. After the disappointment that was Dmitri’s book, Jason’s book is a jolly satisfying read. It’s definitely not for newcomers to the series, but I think many readers will enjoy the quieter, less overtly macho black angel and his trip into Neha’s court. We’ve had hints of Jason’s…
God, I’m glad that’s over. It’s not killingly bad. And I didn’t want to hit any of the characters over the head. But it was boring. No, make that was stultifyingly, mind-numbingly, excruciatingly painful to read. And you can bet your sweet fanny I’m not reading anything else by this author. So the…
#1 – Angel’s Wolf – Nalini Singh Narrated by Justine Eyre I’m not a fan of the Guild Hunter series or Justine Eyre’s narration. Although Angel’s Wolf is part of that series, it is a kinder, gentler story and I liked it much more than the two Guild Hunter books I listened to. Nimra is…
His Dark Bond is not the best book I have ever read. In fact, it has some pretty serious flaws. However, I can see a lot of potential in Anne Marsh’s Fallen series that is just waiting to be tapped. And I am intrigued enough by the story to hope that the rest of the…
I looked forward to Heather Killough-Walden’s Avenger’s Angel because I thought it might be as fun to read as her previous Big Bad Wolf series. Unfortunately it wasn’t. I enjoy clearly drawn characters, and the cast of this book suffers from too much ambiguity. The premise is that two thousand years ago the “Old Man”…
Narrated by Justine Eyre The fourth in the Guild Hunter series, Archangel’s Blade features Dmitri, the powerful head of the Seven. Their duty is to protect the archangel, Raphael, at all costs. A thousand-year-old vampire, Dmitri is a cold, beautiful, ruthless creature known for his intense sexuality and is, actually, quite a fascinating character. I’ve…
Look up complex in the dictionary and one of the definitions will be “novels by Meljean Brook, esp the Guardian series.” Ms. Brook can also be found in the thesaurus under antonyms for “brain candy.” Hers are not the type of books that you read between phone calls or on your lunch break. Concentration is…
All right Nalini Singh, just look what you did. You made me cry! And over that ass Dmitri of all characters. So bravo; great job with Archangel’s Blade. // var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName==’Netscape’) { document.write(‘‘); document.write(”); } if (browName!=’Netscape’) {…
As a preliminary note, unless you want to be unbelievably confused, this book must be read in order with the rest in the series. Singh has created a complicated world of vampires and angels, and in order to understand both the setup and the pre-existing relationships, Angel’s Blood and Archangel’s Kiss should be read before…
