Archangel's Consort (Guild Hunter Book 3)
by Nalini Singh
About this book
Elena Deveraux has survived the transition from a mortal vampire hunter to a fledgling angel, but her newfound life at the side of the lethally beautiful Archangel Raphael is about to face its ultimate test. While the Guild Hunter series is a staple of urban fantasy, this installment raises the stakes by weaving high-stakes historical mystery with the visceral intensity of blood-bonds.
The city of New York is spiraling into chaos as a wave of inexplicable, savage madness consumes the vampire population. As the streets turn into a war zone, Raphael begins to succumb to a dangerous, uncontrollable rage that threatens to shatter the very earth. The source of this darkness is no mere villain; it is Caliane, an ancient and malevolent archangel—and Raphael’s own mother.
For readers who crave a fierce romance set against a backdrop of supernatural politics, this story delivers on every front. Elena must navigate the treacherous dynamics of her new reality, where she is not just a consort, but the primary target of a mother-in-law who will stop at nothing to reclaim her son. With its perfect blend of academy-level training, dark lore, and pulse-pounding action, this is the essential next read for any paranormal romance enthusiast.

I liked this book. I quite enjoyed it. This series keeps getting better. The third book is my favorite so far and I really like the glimpses into the characters past and seeing what made them who they are. In this book you see more of Elana and Raphael and the pain that made them who they are. You learn more about Elanas family and more about Raphael's childhood and archangel mother. I really like the glimpses and hints she gives us about different characters. I hope Raphael's Seven are...

First of all, this cover is absolutely stunning. I found myself staring at it for several minutes.

Nalini Singh continues to provide some of the best paranormal books, I've ever read. (Elena and Raphael's story reminds me of the love story between Eve Dalls and Roarke, they live separate lives but are always crossing lines to help each other). They are both learning that love requires different perspectives and committments than they have had in the past and that it has a different standard for trust. Summary: Elena continues to try to build her strength as an angel and hone her fighting...
