Archangel Consort Nalini Singh 9780575095779 Books

I just realized what I like about Elena. One thing that sometimes frustrates me with other stories is that the authors put too much emphasis on their female leads as being “bad-ass” that they often create arguments for the sake of it. Sometimes, they are too demanding that instead if “fighting for independence”, they do it by lessening the man’s worth or by being irrational.

I love Elena and Raphael as Elena knows what she can give in for love. Raphael is also looking for a balance between giving Elena freedom, and protecting her as it is the logical since he is older and stronger.

I do not feel like Elena is any less for finding a compromise with Raphael and Raphael’s strength isn‘t stepped on just to make Elena stand out more.

Archangel Consort Nalini Singh 9780575095779 Books Reviews


Raphael and Elena will always be two of my favorite characters. This installments picks up right where their story left off at the end of the previous book. Elena is still considered a weak, newly made angel, but she isn’t letting that stop her from fighting for those she loves. With the threat of Raphael’s mother waking on the horizon the pair has no idea if she will be mad or sane.

This book is flawlessly written with enough mystery and intrigue that there are still so many unanswered questions at the end, that you can’t wait to get a hold of the next installment. The story smoothly transitions from each characters point view in such an amazing way. Plus all the supporting characters are ridiculously lovable!

I highly recommend this book and this entire series!
The 3rd book in the Guild Hunter series could best be labeled the “Mummy and Daddy” installment as both of our leads are dealing with issues both past and present involving their dysfunctional parental figures. Archangel’s Consort opens up with Raphael and Elena having left the refuge and returned home to New York City; but their homecoming is anything but peaceful. Weird weather patterns are occurring around the world tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, unseasonable lethal ice storms and archangels becoming violent and erratic in their behavior. It all portends the awakening of an Ancient. Possibly the rebirth of an archangel. Possibly the awakening of Caliane Raphael’s over one hundred thousand year old mother.

In addition to the wacky weather; Elena has to deal with more family drama that dredges up shallowly buried past trauma. Her half sister’s are being targeted by a rogue vampire as a means to get to Raphael through Elena; and then it turns out that her 10 year old half sister Evelyn just may be hunter-born – which opens up some intriguing revelations which drive home the fact that Jeffrey Deveraux is an even bigger jerk than heretofore realized.

So we have Raphael dealing with the love hate he holds for a mother who was loving and nurturing and doted upon him; and who in her madness broke him and left him to suffer in a field, with shattered bones and a crushed and broken body in blinding agony; and we have Elena dealing with the love hate she feels for a loving mother who abandoned her in death and a father who abandoned her in life.

And here is where I break into a minor SPOILERY rant. As it turns out, Caliane the insane, murdering and atrocity committing archangel – was actually a better parent than Elena’s father. Caliane may have left Raphael broken into bits and pieces; but she explains it was her madness whispering she should kill him and she fought against it – for her son. She knew he was immortal and that he would heal. Jeffrey Deveraux on the other hand knew all along that the hunter-born gene came from his bloodline. I dearly wanted Elena to call him on the carpet and tell him “You KNEW I could scent vampires; and when I told you Slater Patelis the monster was coming (for us), you wouldn’t listen and said no one in this family has ever been a common hunter, and told me to stop telling tall tales. You took no steps to protect us, you’re the reason my mother and sisters are dead. So who’s the abomination now? Boo-ya.” This would be followed up with the classic “you’re dead to me” spit, spit. End of SPOILERY rant.

Add to all this, more archangel politics and Lijuan sticking her nose in everything and it’s a pretty decent ride. 4 ½ stars. I really enjoy the world building, the intrigue, all the side characters; and I like Elena and Raphael – I really do. I just still don’t feel the chemistry and every time they sneak off for some nookie (which they seem to do an awful lot) it’s “Oh God, here they go AGAIN. Can we please get back to the story”???
Archangel's Consort picks up after Archangel's Kiss left off. Elena, the Guild Hunter turned Angel, and Raphael, the powerful Archangel, are back in Manhattan. She wants to begin her Guild Hunter duties again, and is training hard to make that happen. Elena is facing everyone's shock of her being an Angel, and adapting to how different her life has become. And she is dealing with family conflicts as a surprising discovery is revealed. Meanwhile, the world is thrown into turmoil--earthquakes, tsunamis and unusual vampire attacks--as an ancient Archangel awakes. But who is it? Several of the ancients disappeared and are thought to have gone into Sleep--one of which was Caliane, Raphael's mother who was insane the last time he saw her. Raphael and his Seven search for the resting place of the ancient, knowing that it will result in an epic showdown.

Like the other books in the series, Archangel's Consort had some great twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat (especially towards the end!) I couldn't put this book down. It's a great mix of intrigue, suspense, action, and romance. The character development is top notch. In this latest installment, it was great to see many of my favorite characters from the earlier books. I loved seeing more of the Seven, especially Aodhan and Illian. They are such interesting characters and I hope they will have larger roles in upcoming books.

Elena as a character is very intriguing. While she's a tough, kick a$$ heroine, she is also loyal, caring, hard working, and honest. She's a strong woman who went through a traumatic experience as a child and who has a difficult relationship with her father as a result of that experience. No 'mary sue' character, she struggles as she adapts to her new body. She also is challenged with her relationship with Raphael, who is so much older and stronger. She seeks to find equal ground between them. One of the strongest beings on the planet and a member of the Cadre of Ten, Raphael is used to getting what he wants. He is not only powerful, he is cruel at times. But Elena makes Raphael more human in his love for her.

Only area for improvement for me was some parts seemed a little repetitive/draggy. That could have been improved with a good editor. But they weren't a big part of the book. All in all, I love this series. Definite keepers!

If you've read Singh's Psy Changeling books, her Guild Hunter series is darker but just as well written. If you like Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward or the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, you'll enjoy this series. Raphael is the ultimate alpha and the dark plotlines, intriguing characters, and disturbing enemies will pull you in.

Also I wanted to complement the artist on the wonderful cover. Very beautifully done!
