I really wanted to like this book and going into it I thought I would. I didnt hate the book, but it was so hard to get through. The first book, Angel's Blood was so much better and I just expected the sequel to be better because in most series that's the case but this book was such a huge disappointment.

I really wanted to like this book and going into it I thought I would. I didnt hate the book, but it was so hard to get through. The first book, Angel's Blood was so much better and I just expected the sequel to be better because in most series that's the case but this book was such a huge disappointment.

ARCHANGEL'S KISS picks up about a years after the events in Angel's Blood. After the huge, epic battle with Uram, Elena and Rapheal both came so close to dying. But Elena has been in a coma and she wakes up as a immortal. Rapheal wouldn't let her die, EVER! But instead as a vampire she wakes up as an angel. Not only is she an angel, she is the first angel ever to be made.

Fact: Angels are usually born. It is very rare for one to be made. She is Rapheal's weakness at this moment and she is recovering, so a big weakness and a target so Elena needs to heal quickly and get her strength back. Rapheal's seven do not approve of Elena due to the fact that she is a huge weakness to Rapheal.

"They didn't understand that she held his heart, held it so utterly that there was nothing he wouldn't do, no line he wouldn't cross to keep her safe"

I may have not liked ARCHANGEL'S KISS that much because of the healing process with Elena and that is what she spent almost the whole book doing. I think a main reason I really liked the first book was because I found Elena always out battling and doing what she does, hunt. And also the sexual tension with Rapheal and I liked we still got that in this book. I found that I was forcing myself just to finish the book and parts were just so boring. I think the next book, Archangel's Consort will either make it or break it for me.

Now that Elena is mostly healed and will be back as herself I think that the next book will be better for me. And looking at the description of Archangel's Consort I feel like I will definitely like what will be in store for Rapheal and Elena and hope to discover how strong they are together. My advice is if you liked Angel's Blood yes, push through this one. Most people find that book 1 is their favorite but still liked the second book. Looking forward to Archangel's Consort coming January 2011. ...more

Another great read from Singh. She can never do any wrong in my eyes. What I would give to be a fly on the wall in her imagination.

I do have to say Elena & Raphael relationship is the strongest one I have ever read. It is so deep, fierce and the bond they share is truly amazing.

What I like most about their relationship is the, fall in love then gets to know the person later. It reminds me of my husband and myself. After my husband and I met for the 1st time we were married 3 weeks later. And we ...more

An excellent suspense novel. This book does not fall into the romance stereotype in the sense that is is the continuation of the story of characters who met and fell in love in the previous book. In many other ways it is a very good romance, in that a new love grows into an enduring love as the hero and heroine learn more about each other.

The action is fast-paced, the exposition of the mystery elements keeping one involved. I liked the secondary characters and the way their relationship with the ...more

I loved this book a lot. Loved the details of the special world of the archangels, vampires, and angels. Loved the relationship between Raphael and Elena. They were already a couple from the previous book n the series, but the relationship is so new and Elena's whole life has been changed (view spoiler) that it gives plenty of conflict and exploration for them.

The only thing that kept me from giving this book a five was because I tho ...more

Short review for now.

Umm first I would love to say that I love nalini Singh. I just don't love Elena and Rapheal. I can't wait to read about other characters especially Aodhan. I couldn't stand the fact that every chapter Elena and Raphael were getten it on. I mean come on I would like to read more in the book than the sex scenes.

reread and I think I may have been a tad bit hard on Elena. She just makes me mad with her attitude sometimes. She is not so bad this time around. ...more

I had a couple of complaints with this book. I had completely forgotten the plot from the first book, so I wish she had recapped what had happened in the story a little better. There are too many angels to keep track of. I still have no idea which angels are which and who belongs to who and it's feeling a bit like Laurel K. Hamilton. I didn't get into this story until about 1/2 through. I kept trying to figure out what was going on. Other than that, it was alright. ...more

I'm still on the fence about this series. I'm struggling to get into them but am really liking that the story is continuing from book to book. I'm rooting for Raphael and Ellie and hoping my love of their "love story" will keep me going from book to book... ...more
