I LOVE Nalini Singh !!!!

I can't decide which series I like better, this one or the psy-changeling series. They are both extremely phenominal in their own ways. Nalini Singh has become my new favorite author; I aspire to become one myself, and she is my biggest role model. This series is very captivating, the characters likeable and well-described. I didn't like the narrator's voice at first, but I think it was because I wasn't used to it. I've since come to like it, however I think I like the narrator of the Psy-changeling series more, her male voices were more realistic, as well as her different female voices.

Another fine story

The story line can stand on its own, but shines in the series. Eyre has a very nice voice but she doesn’t seem to have much emotional range, which I didn’t notice so much until certain key times that passion or deep anger should have shown. It’s almost like she was reading the words without understanding the context.

Nice story

Archangel’s Kiss finds a mortal turned immortal and her struggles with her new body while facing down the politics and murder attempts of angels and vampires. The story is entertaining and interesting. The characters are believable and likable. The storyline captivating. The narrator did a good job with providing unique voices for each character.

A little dark, but still a very good read...

If you could sum up Archangel's Kiss in three words, what would they be?

Dark, sexy, immortals.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to take a minute to write about the first 2 books in this series because there were mixed reviews while I was trying to decide if I wanted to take the chance on them. I absolutely love Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series and have read many of the books in that series multiple times. After listening to several other series in the same genre and not truly feeling satisfied, I decided to try Nalini's Guild Hunter series as well.

I agree with some of the other reviews stating that this series is a little dark, but the books are interesting and well-written nonetheless. In the first book in this series, Angel's Blood, I didn't feel like the chemistry between the two main characters was developed/described well enough and felt like it ended without satisfaction in some sense. Then I realized that book 2 in the series further developed the story between Raphael and Elena. After finishing the 2nd book, Archangel's Kiss, I feel much better about the series and look forward to listening to the next Guild Hunter book.

The plot was plotting

I don’t know if I liked the first one better or not. This was still a great book. The plot opens up so many avenues. Can’t wait to keep reading the series

A Great Story with an Equally Great Preformance

Would you consider the audio edition of Archangel's Kiss to be better than the print version?

It's hard to compare to print, but I have tried to listen to some of my other favorite preternatural romance/dark urban fantasy and they almost always leave me unsatisfied. This one was AWESOME! I re-listened to every book in the series that I had read. I started looking for things to do (like washing the dishes, mowing the lawn, folding laundry, etc) just so I could keep listening to a story I already knew.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters are very vibrant and the plot is well balanced between the happening in the world and the happenings in the heroine's heart/life.

Which scene was your favorite?

It's hard to beat the finale, but the final scene in her apartment was pretty compelling. Don't want to ruin anything - if you've read it you definitely know what I'm talking about.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I start yelling at characters (when driving) and pacing incessantly or jumping around the room (at home). I'm pretty sure some of my neighbors think I'm a lunatic after suddenly walking away from my lawn-mower to pace and rant - only about 30 seconds so no men in white coats were involved.

Any additional comments?

One of my favorite series - worth it whether read or heard!

I love this series!!

I am so very happy that Nalini Singh has been put on Audible. I really enjoy her books. To me, they are always so well thought out and a total surprise when I get to the end and think I have it all figured out.......but don't.She writes worlds that I wish I were a part of. I am hoping to see her Psy/Changeling series on Audible SOON (PLEASE)!!

The saga continues!

Just finished book two and man I feel like there should be a spinning hour glass with an over voice that says....will Raphael accept Elliana as she is? How will Elliana cope with her new found immortality? Will the angel community accept her? Find out the answer to these and more in the next episode of Days of our lives!

It was another keep you on the edge of your seat books, there was a great who done it, and we learn more about Ellianas past and Raphael...very good. The ending was a bit rushed in my opinion but the storyline will continue in the next book, which I will listen to shortly.

Pick up the first book, worth a listen for sure!
