Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Angel's Blood is the first Nalini Singh book i read and i loved it. It took a little while to get used to her world, with angels being the unknown factor for me as i havent read any angel books. However, they are not the sickly sweet kind, they are strong and can be vicious. The death scenes are kind of gore actually. The romance between the 2 main characters was strong too and had a few twists and turns. overall, a great read!!! i strongly recommend to Ward-Kenyon-Cole-Showalter fans comme moi.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Nalini Singh is one of my favorite authors. I'm already addicted to her Psy-Changeling series, where she has managed to create a thoroughly original and engaging world, that develops more and more in each book.
When I learnt that she was going to write a new urban fantasy series, I couldn't help but think "Oh, no, Nalini will have less time to write the books I like!". All the same, I'm very curious, so I couldn't help buying and reading "Angels'Blood", the first novel in the Guild Hunter series.
Now, I have a problem: a new addiction that joins my previously existing ones to chocolate and Nalini's Psy-Changeling series. I simply loved "Angels'Blood", its characters, and the new world it introduces. The main character is Elena Deveraux, a plucky guild hunter that tracks down vampires that break their contracts with angels, the immortal beings that create them in exchange for a period of servitude. Elena is the best at her job, and due to that she attracts what might end up being the mortal attention of Raphael, probably the most dangerous and beautiful archangel in existence. Raphael demands Elena to do the unthinkable: track a rogue archangel. Elena cannot say no to that request (or rather order), that will involve working closely with Raphael, and bring unexpected developments.
On the whole, I can say that "Angels' Blood" is the beginning of a series totally different from the Psy-Changeling series, but, strangely enough, just as good. Highly recommended :)

Format:Paperback
I picked this book because the storyline had a good twist on the usual supernatural books out there.
The basic plot: vampires are created by angels, who are contracted to work for them. When the vamps go astray, vampire hunters are responsible for returning them to their masters/ hunting them down. The world is divided into regions and the 10 archangels rule each part, but when one archangel goes bad, Raphael (archangel of NY) hires Elena (vampire hunter) to hunt him down.
There is a lot of potential to develop the world Nalini has created over the series. However, the book is more focused on the romantic plot between the two lead characters and in general, sex. In fact, half of the conversations in this booked are related to sex. This results in the essential story line being neglected and being more of a side plot. The main characters are under developed and sex focused. I understand the author is trying to build sexual tension between Elena and Raphael, who have a romantic interest in each other, but this book borders on soft porn.
Overall, the book is an ok read, but a bit disappointing. Not sure if I'm actually going to purchase the next book in the series: Angel's Kiss. I hope you've find this review helpful.

Got the balance wrong
her main fault is that she got the balance wrong. In an ideal paranormal novel, I feel a balance of 80% plot and 20% sexual promise or actual sex scenes is good. Read more
