Nalini Singh - Archangel's Enigma

The eighth book in the Guild Hunter series, published September 1, 2015.
Genre: paranormal romance / urban fantasy
Cover: not my thing



Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required - those more common to predatory animals than to man.
Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature - at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the sleeping archangel before it's too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows...and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare.


What can I write about this series that I haven't written before? I love it to pieces, it has lots of action and intrigue, great characters and original storylines. Yes it has vampires and angels and Archangels and hunters, who bring back rogue vampires to their angelic masters, but it has nothing to do with religion.
Ever since Naasir played his part in the previous book, I was curious about him. So when this was his story, I could not wait to pick it up. And I loved it, every page of it. He is mischievous and goes after what he wants, and he wants his mate. And he won't let anything interfere with that, not even an Archangel.
And Andromeda was living as she wanted to live, as a scholar, learning as much as she could, before she had to go to her depraved grandfather's court and live their for the next 500 years. How could she ask anyone to wait for her that long? And now she had to go on an adventure with Naasir, finding a sleeping Archangel, a dangerous journey.

I had fun reading this, and I loved the bits with Raphael and Elena as always. And Bluebell, o Bluebell, I hope you are all right. The Cascade is happening, and angels and Archangels are suddenly growing more and more powerful, for good or for worse.

I hope this is one of those series that never ends, as I can't get enough of it.

10 stars.
