Archangel's Consort: Nalini Singh

I was very much anticipating the third book in Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series (after Angel’s Blood and Archangel’s Kiss) and felt especially happy about the book’s release since it came out just before my birthday. I’ve enjoyed this series immensely so far, and hoped I wouldn’t be disappointed with Archangel’s Consort. And of course, I wasn’t.

Archangel’s Consort is exactly mine kind of book–a book filled with people whom I would dearly love to meet (Yes, even the vampires. Perhaps especially so), people with unique personalities that come with mysterious and interesting pasts. Being a romance novel, there is plenty of steam, but not gratuitous steam. This is the steam that comes from two people who love each other deeply. It is not always so in romance novels–sometimes, you only get the steam, and no substance. Raphael and Elena have a relationship with substance–one I hope to follow through many more books.

This installment of the series involves the awakening of an ancient archangel, who may or may not be Raphael’s mother, and this awakening causes all kinds of chaos throughout the world, but most particularly, with Raphael, and with vampires in the LA area. Elena, as a hunter and as Raphael’s lover, is able to help in both situations. Through the course of the story, we get to meet Illium’s mother and see a bit of the depth of the friendship between Raphael and Dimitri. At the end, I found myself wishing that the fourth book was ready for release. Maybe next year, for my birthday, eh?

Summary: Highly recommended.
