About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into a dangerous and exhilarating world where a deadly, beautiful archangel and his once-mortal consort are caught in a fury of twisted darkness…
 
“Raphael and Elena are the heart of this series…they are what keep me coming back for more.”—Fiction Vixen
 
One of the most vicious archangels in the world has disappeared. No one knows if Lijuan is dead or has chosen to Sleep the long sleep of an immortal. But with her lands falling into chaos under a rising tide of vampiric bloodlust, a mysterious and ancient order of angels known as the Luminata calls the entire Cadre together to discuss the fate of her territory.
 
Accompanying her archangelic lover Raphael to the Luminata compound, guild hunter-turned-angel Elena senses that all is not as it seems. Secrets echo from within the stone walls of the compound, and the deeper Elena goes, the uglier the darkness. But neither Raphael nor Elena is ready for the brutal truths hidden within—truths that will change everything Elena thinks she knows about who she is…
 
Nothing will ever be the same again.

Ratings and reviews

I fell in love with the Guild Hunter series from the very first book. Yes I love the Psy-Changeling series from Ms. Singh, but the Guild Hunter series is where I started reading her books, so they have an extra special place in my heart. I absolutely love the fact that we got another book that focused on Raphael and Elena with Archangel's Heart. Archangel's Heart was one of those books I wish I could have read in one sitting, even as I didn't want the story to end. Seriously this story was so hard to put down, as it pulled me in from the very first page. I loved we got to learn more about Elena's family's past, as Elena, Raphael, and Aodhan travel to the meeting of the Cadre at the Luminata. Yes much of the story is about the past in Archangel's Heart, and my history loving heart loved learning more about some of my favorite characters. I loved seeing Elena, Raphael, and Aodhan investigate the Luminata as they all felt like something was off from the moment they arrived. I love how Elena's hunter instincts are such an important part of her character and that Raphael totally and completely gets and supports her need to ferret out the truth. I felt like we got a little more insight into Aodhan in Archangel's Heart. He has always intrigued me and I found myself falling for "Sparkle" a bit more as he began to be more open as the story progressed. I have to say I was a bit thrown by some of what the Luminata was involved in, but the entire story kept me on the edge of my seat with each new reveal. Archangel's Heart is one of my favorite books in the Guild Hunter series to date. I always love getting more time with Elena and Raphael in the series. I honestly felt the growth and change of so many characters thanks to learning more about each one's past. Archangel's Heart is a wonderful, emotion-filled, story and I highly recommend it.

Nalini never disappoints. The story moves quickly and is extremely entertaining. I truly love all of the main characters from the series including the ones you probably should hate.

This series is my favorite. I am glad to see Adhon brought to full character and I cannot wait to see the monster to end all monsters... Hbeeti!!! Love it!
