Angels Blood by Nalini Singh;
Book 1 of the Guild Hunter Series
I read several reviews of this book in
Goodreads, and it was recommended to me. I was curious as most of the reviews
were very positive, plus angels and archangels were a new subject to me.
As I was going into hospital for the
day I had a quick read at the beginning of several books in order to find one I
felt would capture me enough to take my mind off the situation, and found once
I started this book I had to keep going.
I loved the characters, the action, the
writing, the romance. This is one of those series where I started with a ‘real’
book, but tempted to change now to Kindle for the speed as I want more!! And I
want it now!
The basic story is that a vampire
hunter, Elena, is given a job by the Guild. She is agitated as the job is with
the Archangel of New York, and his reputation goes before him, for cruelty and
lack of concern for humans. As the summons asks for her specifically, neither
she nor the Guild can turn it down. Elena is confused as he wants her to
track an archangel, and she has no experience in this only vampires. They work
together and their relationship evolves and changes as their quest brings them
together.
There is (to me anyway) a whole new bio
for vampires and angels, which was interesting to me and gave the book an
added twist. I mean angels are lovely loving creatures - aren't they?
If this is your style, paranormal /
supernatural with action and romance, please give it a try, well worth it.
