...for me and well, it's good that I really like Elena too.

✜ What I didn't expect was all the fighting. I had thought they would be past that although the makeup and angry sex was worth it!

4 to 4 ½ AMAZING Stars

Well…I'm all caught up. DANG!!! This book is my favorite of the series thus far. It's absolutely fantastic! I would have given it 5 stars but there was a bit too much action fighting toward the end for my taste. I understand this is Urban Fantasy and that's to be expected, but, for me, it was just too much. I ended up skimming a few chapters because of it. Still, I highly recommend this series. I've had a blast reading it (I actually listened to it).

Another great story from this awesome author. I think this is the story and action that we've all been waiting for since the first book. Finally we get the fight between Raphael and the archangel of death. I simply loved it. The build up to this point is long but that's how it should be. It made the whole journey that more exciting and at the same time mysterious. And the battle itself was perfectly executed. There were some new answers, new powers and new clues about the future.

Oh my gosh, Nalini Singh!! Girl's got some serious skills in making me feel the beautiful relationship between the two main characters in this series. I actually find myself smiling when I am reading, and feeling all swoony over the beautiful words.

Never had she expected to find him, to fall so deeply, wildly, insanely in love - and sometimes, her soul-deep joy in their passionate entanglement terrified her...

5 Fabulous Shiny Stars!!

Loved this story, and I REALLY like where the author is going with the series.

The writing, storyline, and characters were BRILLIANT!

I really enjoyed getting to know a little more about Aodhan, Illiam, and Naasir (even though I'm not quite sure what Naasir is).

Once again Raphael and Elana are passionate, charismatic, strong, stubborn, and PERFECT for one another.

Fans of the "Guild Hunter" series will not be disappointed!

Archangel's Legion wasn't quite as engrossing as I thought it'd be. I still enjoyed it but in comparison to earlier Elena/Raphael books it was lacking in originality, excitement, and intriguing characters.

-Certain parts of the plot felt quite recycled such as Elena's Guild Hunter duties and her investigation into what was making all the vampires sick/die - I've read that sort of plot in countless other PNR/UF books so it didn't captivate me much.

After a few books with other characters/couples in the series I was a little sad to be back with Elena and Raphael. It isn’t that I don’t like them….I do, they are okay, but I feel like this has been set up in normal PNR fashion to explore multiple relationship beginnings and so I was looking forward to reading someone else’s story.

Original review:
Just when I think Nalini Singh can't possibly outdo herself, she proves me wrong. From the earliest pages in this book, until I turned the very last one, I was on the edge of my seat - unable to think of anything but needing to know what happened next.

I'm not even sure how to review this book without fan-girling, I loved it so much. I've read the whole thing twice now and done scenes even more.

This is the fourth full-length novel focusing on Raphael and Elena - and despite my thoughts that their story was pretty much told in Archangel's Consort, there's still plenty to explore as evidenced here. I've always loved the relationship dynamic between Elena and Raphael. There's such a huge power differential and, unlike a lot of books that will just gloss that over and make it seem like it's dealt with, Nalini Singh continues to actually deal with it. Raphael is a centuries old Archangel - one of the most powerful beings in the world - and Elena is a new-immortal, with only twenty-some years of life behind her. That alone will create a gulf that a lot of people might not be able to overcome. Yet, Raphael and Elena are continuously negotiating their boundaries...in a smart, intelligent, caring way - they talk about it. When something comes up that is going to press up against Elena, potentially leaving her in a very large power deficit, she finds the words to discuss it with Raphael and he listens. They may not always resolve it satisfactorily for them both right away, but they're always working towards that. That, right there, shows their love for each other so clearly to me.

The overarcing plot of the book, I'll admit, had me in tears more than once. The first scene with angels falling from the sky was heart-wrenching, the aftermath as much so. It's clear for most of the book that things are coming to a head; there are overt signs of war, and insidious signs of something else - something that's nearly stalking Raphael, and we're not quite sure what it is. It's a challenge for him, though, that's for sure - and again, it's Elena that helps keep him grounded, a little bit mortal, if you will. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book; I had to know what was going on. The last 100 or so pages are so intense that I stayed up until 2am just to finish; I immediately turned to the beginning and started again so I could take the journey a little more leisurely.

Also, we finally get to learn more about Naasir - and can I just say what he manages to do with just two other people in the climactic scene was amazing, and made me grin completely unexpectedly. Raphael's Seven, and Elena's friends play important roles in this novel, and as always I'm left wanting more. They're, each and every one, fantastic.

Archangel's Legion is a thrill ride of a novel, heart-wrenching, exciting, beautiful, romantic and absolutely game-changing. I was blown away, and I can not wait to see what's next!

A buddy read with the Wednesday group at BB&B! We need to get our hunting on!!!

"...“My mother," he said, "has invited us to a ball."
Elena pulled a blade from one of the butter-soft forearm sheaths that had been a gift from Raphael. "Excuse me while I stab myself in the eyes-and disembowel myself while I'm at it.” ..."

We are back with The Guild hunter Elena Deveraux and the Archangel Raphael and it is one of the reasons I am becoming a bigger fan of Nalini with every passing book. She does not stop at the moment when a loving couple hooks up and where usually fairy-tales say "And they lived Happily Ever After!". She is not satisfied with that, because, just like us, she knows very well there is life after the moment of falling in love and committing to a relationship. There is work! Noooo, don't take that as me saying there is tedium. Maybe, at times, but hopefully rarely, there is that too. But mostly, there is the long period of living and caring for someone else as much or maybe more than you ever did for yourself. There is the period of adjustment having someone in your space at all times, having to consider their wants, needs or dislikes, having to adjust to what matters to you and what you could leave behind in order to smooth the edges of daily struggles and making your couple a true unit, ready to stand together against the difficulties the rest of the world could bring against you. End even those seemingly mundane struggles, Nalini makes into a fun and enjoyable read, and this is what I call a storyteller:):):)

"... “I'm the hunter," Elena reminded him. "I should go first."
"Of course you may go first. When I am dead.” ..."

The overall plot had to do with a very disgusting and virulent disease taking hold in the Vampire population, birds and Angels falling broken from the skies, surges of power driving Archangels mad and powerful, Lijuan being bet-shit crazy and going more so by declaring war on Raphael and his territory, and all type of other destructive forces, all being a result of the Cascade of Power being unleashed on the World! In one word - a tone of action, blood, war and drama - what more can a girl want????

"... “The Cascade happens and Neha calls fire and ice, Elena said into his mind at the same instant. Titus moves the earth, Astaad the sea, while creepy Lijuan brings the dead back to life. Meanwhile, my gorgeous archangel, not satisfied with, I don't know, shooting lightning bolts or something, actually taps into the energy of the planet and calls an army of bogeymen from the bottom of the ocean.
Of course you do.

The dry commentary made him wonder how he'd ever walked through life without the wit and laughter of his hunter by his side. He could no longer imagine such a cold, remote existence, the idea of it spawning an immediate repudiation in his bloodstream.” ..."

We also got to delve deeper into Elena's family dynamics and how her little sister can wrap a many centuries old vampire butler around her little finger:):):) Also, we met some more of the faithful Seven, whom Raphael's mom very appropriately calls "The Menagerie":) And some very gray, very odd creatures are introduced, which gave the name of this book and despite of making the ending very much a "lucky coincidence" of an outcome, I think will make this Guild Hunter World even more interesting. Reading this book was so much fun, it felt like it flew by and I was left craving more!!! An absolute MUST READ for the fans of the series!!!

I wish you all Happy Reading and may you also never get enough of the literary adventures of your favorite heroes!!!!

26/10/2016 Buddy reading with the wonderful UF fans over at BB&B

“Eternity would mean nothing without you. For no power on this earth would I trade my Elena.”

When angels start falling from the sky and vampires start dying from an unknown disease, Guild Hunter Elena Deveraux and her Archangel consort Raphael needs to find out whether the impending Cascade could be responsible, or if a more sinister enemy is at work.

With the Tower’s defences low and time running out, Elena and Rapha

26/10/2016 Buddy reading with the wonderful UF fans over at BB&B

“Eternity would mean nothing without you. For no power on this earth would I trade my Elena.”

With the Tower’s defences low and time running out, Elena and Raphael find themselves fighting desperately to keep their territory from the hands of enemy archangels. And when lakes turn crimson and Raphael becomes the focus of an evil power, Raphael needs to decide what is most important: power or his heart.

“Your love is a fierce thing, Elena, a thing with claws and teeth when it comes to protecting those you claim.”

I freaking love this world! Elena is such an amazing heroine, so strong and kickass, but also so vulnerable when it comes to the people she loves. She would do anything for those she cares about. I love watching Elena grow stronger as an angel, but what I love most is her mortal heart, the way she cares about doing what is right, and treating people fairly. And it’s fun seeing her learn what it means to be Raphael’s consort, and how amazing she was with the injured angels, making sure they were cared for. (view spoiler)

“Without you, I might one day have become another Lijuan.” Scowling, she would’ve shaken her head, but he stopped her with a grip on her jaw. “No, Elena. This truth I must confront—in me lives more power than any other angel my age has ever had. That much power changes a man, and it changed me.”

I love Raphael, who is still just as arrogant as always, his love for Elena has definitely rounded out his rough edges, but he still as lethal and ruthless as he needs to be. I love how protective and possessive he is with Elena, and how he always knows just how far to push her when her demons are trying to get the better of her.

His thumb caressing her cheekbone, his face close to her own. “You have never, and will never, weaken me. You make me a better man and a better leader than I would’ve ever been without you.” He shook his head. “You said once that you couldn’t do this without me. Well, I can’t do this without you, Guild Hunter.”

*swoon* The relationship between Elena and Raphael just keep getting better and stronger, and it really is pretty amazing to see how they settle their differences, and how they value their relationship. I love how passionate and romantic their romance is, and the sexy times is so damn hot!! I adore them together :-D

Elena’s father Jeffrey is such an asshole, and I still hate him. However we actually learn more about him and his tragic past, which made me sympathise with him, although just a little.

“Sparkle and Bluebell, nice.”
“Never,” Aodhan said, hands stubbornly on the girder, “ever repeat that. Illium seems to have forgotten I promised to separate his tongue from his mouth should he utter it again in his immortal lifetime.”
“You have to catch me first,” Illium taunted . .

I love Raphael’s Seven, and Aodhan and Illium are favorites of mine. Their friendship is so beautiful, and I’m so happy that Aodhan seems to be improving a bit after 200 years of being so damaged that even his best friend couldn’t touch him. I really hope each of them get their own HEA’s soon.

Elena made a squeaking sound as Naasir nipped her sharply on the chin. “I’ve decided I won’t eat you,” he said, putting her down on her feet before turning to Raphael.

And we got to see a lot more of Naasir, who is so damn intriguing :-D I really can’t wait to find out what he is.

“We will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender. We did not begin this war, but we will end it!”

The plot was FANTASTIC! All the archangels gaining new powers, and trying to find out who was targeting Raphael’s territory. Alliances were formed, and I must say I was extremely happy with the ones Raphael chose, and then there is the new power Raphael received, and it was AMAZING!! I love the fact that his love for Elena, which is seen by most as a weakness, is actually making him more powerful. And the final battle was EPIC!!!

I really loved this book. Nalini Singh is an amazing writer and her take on angels and vampires is unique and magnificently done. This series has excellent world-building, fantastic characters, passionate romance and lots of humorous moments. A definite must read for all UF, PNR and romance fans!

This book was so amazing, I was actually sad when it ended because I wanted to read more.

The relationship between Elena and Raphael just keep getting better, and it really is pretty amazing to see how they settle their differences, and how they value their relationship. We actually learn more of Elena's dad, which made me sympathise with him, although just a little. We also see more of Aodhan and Illium, whom I just love. I really hope each of them get their own book too, as well as Venom:).

If you love paranormal romance, this series is a must read.

Guild Hunter novels are always so intense they cause me to lose sleep and stress out about a happy ending. This series, folks, is urban fantasy at its finest. Throughout the story, I couldn't get enough of Elena and Raphael and Illium, but I was also thrilled to get to know a few of the other members of The Seven better. Naasir and Aodhan both have significantly larger parts in this book than in any of the previous ones and their character development is superb. I'm already speculating about the relationship between illium and Aodhan, and what the heck is Naasir anyway? It was fab getting to see Honor and Dmitri again (and especially to hear her commentary on his, ah, skills), as well as newly-in-love spymaster Jason.

The action in this book is beyond intense and the last 30 pages just about killed me, my heart was racing so fast the entire time. Ms. Singh really amped up the danger level for ALL the characters in this one and held off on revealing the big development until right at the end. It made me crazy and jittery and glued to the pages! The story also wrapped up nicely after the nearly-traumatic ending, so there's enough time to come down from the ledge and take a safe breath again, get our proverbial feet under us before we have to wait another many months for the next installment. I want to avoid spoilers as much as possible but I will say this...

No matter what it feels like while reading the final chapter of this book, take comfort in knowing that it does NOT have a cliffhanger ending and it is totally worth the ride! I'm both glad it's over and impatiently awaiting the next chapter in this scintillating and addicting universe! Long live the Guild Hunter series!! This series, and Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling world, might as well be the raison d'etre for the urban fantasy genre! Here are some fun quotes to send you off with...

Trying to keep her wings from trailing in the crap, [Elena] took a step inside... and a rat as big as a goddamn cat scurried over her boot.
Biting back her instinctive scream, she glared at Ransom - who was very conspicuously not grinning. "You couldn't warn me?"
"You're a tough-ass Hunter who gets naked with a freaking archangel, has a miniature flamethrower - which, by the way, you should leave to me in your will - and a crossbow, all within easy reach." His cheeks creased, eyes glinting. Rats quiver at your presence."

Raphael held her gaze. "Eternity would mean nothing without you. For no power on this earth would I trade my Elena."

"Narrow, but we can get in if we angle our bodies."
"I'm the Hunter," Elena reminded [Raphael]. "I should go first."
"Of course you may go first. When I am dead."

I had thought book 5 lacked a bit of action and let's just say, book 6 made up for that. That extra action at the end just made me love this couple even more. The love that Raphael and Elena have for each other is really felt on the pages. My favorite thing to read about is a couple who are totally devoted to each other and won't allow anyone or anything to come in between them. You get that with these two. I also like that with this being book 6, I'm in no way bored with this series. It's still ...more

Amazing! Absolutely blew my mind!

Every time I read one of her books, I'm constantly struck by Nalini's Singh capability in totally capturing your attention with the story that she weaves! I love it, absolutely adore her writing.
The world she'd built in Guild Hunter series is unforgettable.
She's one of the authors I follow, hopping she'll release new books.

This book was.. huh.. I'm actually a little bit speechless after everything that I just read. Raw emotions still fights within me. Goddammit ...more

Original Review

It's no secret that I've become a bit of a Nalini Singh fan girl since I discovered the Guild Hunter series, I'm slowly working my way through her Psy-Changeling books too and really enjoying them but Raphael and Elena will always have a special place in my heart. Because I'm such a huge fan I always have very high expectations when I pick up a new Nalini Singh book and I'm always slightly nervous that I've built ...more

4.5 stars, Top Pick!

Queen of Paranormal Romance, Nalini Singh returns to the Guild Hunter series with Elena and Raphael. The sole reason why I fell in love with this series in the first place was because of this couple. I loved Raphael as a hero because he was this god-like creature whose power is unparalleled in the world he has created. But in the first book, we saw him succumb to a more human emotion that makes him more endearing and real: love.

Raphael undergoes a few changes in this latest installment. When birds and angels begin to drop from the sky for the duration of five horrific minutes, New York is put into a state of panic as they try to find out what happened and deal with the number of deaths this has caused. Elena, with the help of her friends, Ransom, Sara and even Deacon try to find out what it is that has caused what they call The Falling.

The threat becomes more dire when Raphael bears an unidentified mark on his face that is slowly spreading. Could it be linked to the infection that is trolling the city? Furthermore, the all-powerful Raphael is hearing voices in his sleep, a symptom of madness that his father once had as well. Who are the voices he hears and does this mean that the Archangel of New York is swirling into madness?

Elena’s character has always been relatable in this series, but I feel that is amplified more in this book. We’ve learned of her tragic past and how Slater ruined her life and took those of her mother and sisters. But this time, we get more detail about the event and Elena’s reactions to that kind of loss. We also see her relationship with her father and how grief still remains as a heavy blanket over them even years later.

The politics once again come into play. With Lijuan and her army becoming a threat again and Raphael’s mother, Caliane stirring up more trouble when she declares that there will never be easiness between her and Lijuan, tension mounts until the threat of war soon becomes an issue.

What I love about this series is the lush descriptions that paint out the whole scenery in my mind. This world in my mind is so clear and vivid because of Singh’s attention to detail. While not my favorite of Elena and Raphael’s books, ARCHANGEL’S LEGION is a solid installment to the series. It addresses the darkest elements of Elena and Raphael’s most greatest fears and tackles them, making for incredible character development and just a wonderful story.

If you haven’t already read this series, then I highly suggest you do. It still remains as one of my favorites.

Shelves: waiting-on-my-shelf

And there's a title!!!

ARCHANGEL'S LEGION... Sounds good to me ;)

My prediction:

There will be a war between two Archangels, and Raphael's legion of loyal vampires and angels will fight the enemy - maybe Lijuan or a new and exciting threat.

Attention:

This was merely a prediction of a crazy GH fan who can't wait to read more about one of her favourite couples (Raphael and Elena, of course). So please mind the possible mistakes and don't see this as a true report of the book's content. Thank you ...more

RE-READ in order to read Archangel's Prophecy and Archangel's War.

And also part of my Guild Hunter series read-a-thon, in which I decide to become hermit at my home in this weekend just so I can read my book in peace. Heh, sorry..not sorry :P

I won't write longer re-read review because the original review below already summed up my experience and re-read still not change that, hahaha. Things that I notice are, that even Raphael and Elena get their happy end, nah, the problem didn't end. Both sti ...more

After taking a slight 'detour' with Dmitri and Jason for the last two books, The Guild Hunter series return to Elena and her Archangel, Raphael, and the city of New York -- as Lijuan gathers her army of dead, ready to declare war to the only archangel that seems to be able to put dent on her power (and journey) of being true Goddess.

... and how I love every pages of it.

Guild Hunter series has darker tone and much grittier mood compared to Nalini's other series, Psy/Changeling. Here, the corrupt ...more

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

Great plot developments. Also, I like that despite the fact that Elena and Raphael are solid, we still see subtle changes and developments to their relationship. This is such a well-written, deep, and thoughtful relationship that I would have never thought would turn out this way from just the first book.

I am not a fan of reading action scenes, especially long ones, but there is no doubt that Singh is wonderfully creative and intelligent in the way she writes her ...more

I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted t ...more
