Countdown Review: Angel's Flight by Nalini Singh

On May 5, 2026, the Guild Hunter series will come to a close with ARCHANGEL’S ETERNITY. 

I’m counting down the days until the final story is told by sharing my reviews for each book in the series.

ANGEL'S FLIGHT is a collection of four Guild Hunter novellas. They were published in print in February 2012 after ARCHANGEL'S BLADE so that's why I'm sharing them after that book.

ANGEL'S DANCE - Guild Hunter #0.4
ANGEL'S JUDGEMENT - Guild Hunter #0.6
ANGEL'S PAWN - Guild Hunter #0.8
ANGEL'S WOLF - Guild Hunter #3.5

The Guild Hunter series is set in a world where angels and vampires exist among mortals. Where supernatural beings are ruled by the Cadre of Ten.

Each story showcases a vampire, angel, or guild hunter in Archangel Raphael's territory. 

In this collection, the secondary characters get a chance to shine!

The Guild Hunter world is packed full of so much whimsy and mystery. I love discovering something new about the characters and the series.

About the Book

From New York Times Bestselling author Nalini Singh, warrior angels, vampire hunters and angels gone bad heat up this altogether sizzling paranormal alternate universe.

ANGELS’ FLIGHT

In Angel’s Wolf a vampire becomes fascinated with the seductive angel who rules Louisiana. But all is not what it appears to be in her court.

In Angels’ Judgment a hunter must track one of her own gone bad, while surviving the deadly tests placed in her way by the archangels themselves. Unexpected backup comes from a stranger who might just be the most lethal threat of all…

Plus FIRST TIME IN PRINT

In Angels’ Pawn a vampire hunter faces off against two rival factions and the angel manipulating them both, and a vampire whose help is not entirely selfless…

And NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED

In Angels’ Dance an angel trapped in the mountain stronghold of the Refuge finds herself under siege by a warrior angel from a martial court.

My Review

Angel’s Pawn

This is a story about the guild hunter Ashwini and a sexy Cajun vampire named Janvier. Ashwini has been tasked to head to Atlanta to investigate a kidnapping and has enlisted Janvier to accompany her. In ANGEL’S PAWN we are introduced to the angel who rules Atlanta, Nazarach. He is deadly, powerful and very scary. There’s mystery, suspense, danger, intrigue and an obscene amount of flirting between Ash and Janvier in the story.

Janvier has been intrigued by Ash for a while now and purposely gets in trouble with angels so Ash can be hired to track him down. This infuriates Ash to no end and yet she secretly loves it. This is the story that launched Janvier’s courtship of Ash. I absolutely LOVED it!

If you’ve not had your fill of Ashwini and Janvier, their story continues in ARCHANGEL’S SHADOWS.

Angel’s Judgment

Another brilliant read! This is the story of Sara Haziz before she became the guild director. Sara meets her husband Deacon during a hunt and quickly falls for the tall, dark and handsome Slayer. The Slayer is sort of the Boogey Man to all guild hunters. It’s the Slayer’s job to bring down the rogue guild hunters.

Exciting stuff! Sara and Deacon have great chemistry! There’s also an appearance by my favorite guild hunter and Sara’s best friend, Elena.

ANGEL’S JUDGEMENT was originally published in the anthology, MUST LOVE HELLHOUNDS.

Angel’s Wolf

Noel is a vampire in Archangel Raphael’s territory who has been reassigned to serve the angel Nimra in Louisiana. Noel first made an appearance in ARCHANGEL’S KISS. He’s been the victim of a vicious attack and while he’s healed physically, he’s still broken in other ways.

Nimra is not like the other angels. She is neither jaded, cruel nor bloated with power. Nimra is gentle and kind but does have a power that has even the most dangerous of angels steering clear of her. Noel is able to find peace in his new position and unexpectedly, love with an angel who’s winged her way into a heart that was thought never to open again.

ANGEL’S WOLF was originally published in the anthology, ANGELS OF DARKNESS.

Angel’s Dance

This is Jessamy and Galen’s love story. Opposites definitely attract in this one. And while those differences are vast, their love bridges any distance. This is one of the most beautifully fragile love stories I’ve ever read. I dare you not to tear up reading it. No words I could write would do it justice.

I highly recommend this and every story in the Guild Hunter universe!

Press Release: New Edition of Wuthering Heights

 Elegant New Edition of Wuthering Heights Joins Record-Breaking Puffin in Bloom Collection 

 PUFFIN IN BLOOM’S WUTHERING HEIGHTS 

 by Emily Brontë; cover illustrated by Anna Bond

The Puffin in Bloom collection adds another elegant flower to its bouquet with a hardcover edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, with original cover art by Rifle Paper Co. co-founder, CEO, and artist Anna Bond. This gorgeous edition of the classic gothic romance blooms on bookshelves January 13th, just in time for the big screen debut of Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. 

 For this timeless tale, Bond has designed a striking new cover that evokes the mood and mystery of the Yorkshire moors. Both new and returning fans of Brontë’s classic will be drawn to this stunning edition of the literary treasure, complete with warm gold foil accents for a special touch.  

Puffin in Bloom is a collection of beloved classics, reimagined with original illustrated covers by Anna Bond of the stationery, home, and gifts brand Rifle Paper Co. Delighting readers and design lovers alike, the collection’s previous editions include Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, A Little Princess, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, The Wizard of Oz, and the all-time top-selling edition of Little Women.   

This stunning publication of Wuthering Heights is sure to captivate collectors, readers, gift-givers, and design enthusiasts eager to elevate their shelves with a keepsake edition of a cherished novel.  

Emily Jane Brontë (1818-1848) was the most solitary member of a unique, tightly knit English provincial family. Born in 1818, she shared the parsonage of the town of Haworth, Yorkshire, with her older sister, Charlotte; her brother, Branwell; her younger sister, Anne; and her father, the Reverend Patrick Brontë. All five were poets and writers, and all but Branwell would publish at least one book. Fantasy was the Brontë children’s one relief from the rigors of religion and the bleakness of life in an impoverished region. In 1845, Charlotte Brontë came across a manuscript volume of her sister’s poems. At her sister’s urging, Emily’s poems, along with Anne’s and Charlotte’s, were published pseudonymously in 1846. An almost complete silence greeted this volume, but the three sisters, buoyed by the fact of publication, immediately began to write novels. Emily’s effort was Wuthering Heights; appearing in 1847, it was treated at first as a lesser work by Charlotte, whose Jane Eyre had already been published to great acclaim. Emily Brontë’s name did not emerge from behind her pseudonym of Ellis Bell until the second edition of her novel appeared in 1850. 

Anna Bond is an artist, designer, and entrepreneur best known as the co-founder, CEO, and CCO of Rifle Paper Co., an international stationery, home, and gifts brand based in Winter Park, Florida. Founded in 2009 with her husband, Nathan, the company grew origanically from an apartment-based business to a beloved, multimillion-dollar brand, carried in thousands of stores around the world. Beyond her work at Rifle Paper Co., Anna enjoys illustration, interior design, and, most of all, keeping up with her five young children.

Countdown Review: Archangel's Blade by Nalini Singh

On May 5, 2026, the Guild Hunter series will come to a close with ARCHANGEL’S ETERNITY. 

I’m counting down the days until the final story is told by sharing my reviews for each book in the series.

ARCHANGEL'S BLADE is Book #4 in Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter Series.

The Guild Hunter series is set in a world where angels and vampires exist among mortals. Where supernatural beings are ruled by the Cadre of Ten.

ARCHANGEL’S BLADE stars Dimitri, the leader of Archangel Raphael’s Seven. 

The Seven are Raphael’s strongest and highest ranking warriors and are completely loyal to him and now, to his new consort, Elena.

While Dimitri and the Seven swore loyalty to Elena, they don’t think she’s good enough. She’s a weakness to their Archangel.

Let’s see how Dimitri fares in the spotlight!

About the Book

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is back in the shadows of a deadly, beautiful world where angels rule, vampires serve, and one female hunter must crawl out of the darkness to survive.

The severed head marked by a distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of centuries long past…but Dmitri’s need to discover the truth is nothing to the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the tattoo.

Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an archangel’s right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal sensuality…the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused in her.

As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting…and it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once more…

My Review

Oh my goodness this story is so amazing! There is so much going on. Dimitri is a far more complex and complicated vampire than we've seen. We get to peel back the layers and discover who he was before he became a vampire and the heartbreaking circumstances that followed.

Honor is a survivor. She battled through a painful and terrible captivity that almost broke her through sheer strength of will and determination. I so admire Honor. She and Dimitri pair beautifully together despite some serious speed bumps along the way.

Ms. Singh has several surprises in store for readers and I cannot wait for you to discover them!

I loved the story and the whole series! Highly recommend!

Review: Crown of War and Shadow by J.R. Ward

Crown of War and Shadow is a brand new, sweeping, slow-burn romantasy from #1 New York Times bestseller J. R. Ward, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer Armentrout!

Crown of War and Shadow is the first book in the Kingdoms of the Compass series.

Crown of War and Shadow has

*Forced proximity/Only one bed

*Chosen mates

*Dark mercenary

*Who did this to you?

*Touch her and die

*I'll die for you

*Hidden magic

About the Book

An outcast burdened with a curse. A mercenary out for himself. A kingdom that must be saved.

In the deep, dark, dead of night, passions rise, and empires fall…

The Fulcrum is failing, and demons are slipping into the mortal world.

No one is safe.

Especially not Sorrel. An orphan and an outcast within the walls of her small village because of her mystical abilities. She wants to survive…and find somewhere she can call her true home. But Fate has other plans.

Sorrel has been chosen. Cursed.

She must cross the Badlands to return the Queen's crown and convince the fearsome female to save their world from destruction.

Well aware she’s no brave hero, Sorrel makes a dangerous deal with Merc, a brooding, commanding mercenary known only by his unscrupulous profession.

The deal? A night in his bed that she will never forget, in exchange for her safe passage.

But Merc has secrets of his own, and even though desire runs hot between them, adventure, danger, and betrayal lurk around every corner.

My Review

J.R. Ward brings a fresh voice to the romantasy genre in this epic tale of intrigue and prophecy.

I had some trepidation before picking up the book. I am a huge J.R. Ward fan and I absolutely LOVE her Black Dagger Brotherhood series and many of her other books, but some of her forays into other genres have not been as enjoyable so I wasn’t sure what to expect. 

Will this be a new story we haven’t heard of with an amazing plot and creative world building, or will it be a bandwagon book based on the current popularity of romantasy? 

I am thrilled to report that Crown of War and Shadow is that of the former!

I was immediately swept into the story as I learned of Sorrel’s hardships as an outcast trying to survive the harsh life of a poor orphan. But Sorrel’s got secrets. Big secrets. Forbidden secrets. Juicy secrets. 

One day a mercenary comes into town and takes an unnerving interest in Sorrel. Could he be her savior or her executioner? 

An attack on a couple of village children ignites a chain of events that rock Sorrel’s foundation to the core. The villagers blame Sorrel for the attack and despite the miracles she’s worked through her magic helping many families in the village, everyone’s out for her blood. Everyone except a mercenary with secret machinations of his own. 

Sorrel is shoved into a destiny she doesn’t understand and a responsibility too heavy to shoulder. With the help of her ruggedly handsome mercenary, Sorrel sets off to find the answers she seeks. The road ahead is full of danger and countless adversaries. Sorrel must learn to stop doubting herself and trust her instincts. 

What Fate has planned for Sorrel is far more dastardly than ever imagined. Safety is an illusion. Trust is deceptive. Victory is fleeting. And love is the biggest ass kicker of them all.

The mystery and suspense of the storyline had me on the edge of my seat! I spent my nights reading early into the morning hours because I couldn’t put the book down. When a secret was revealed, the story would bend Inception-style and completely shatter my reading experience with jaw-dropping precision! 

Crown of War and Shadow is an exciting read with a tenacious heroine, vibrant landscapes, and a meticulously crafted storyline that’ll leave readers breathless!

Countdown Review: Archangel's Consort by Nalini Singh

On May 5, 2026, the Guild Hunter series will come to a close with ARCHANGEL’S ETERNITY. 

I’m counting down the days until the final story is told by sharing my reviews for each book in the series.

ARCHANGEL'S CONSORT is Book #3 in Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter Series.

The Guild Hunter series is set in a world where angels and vampires exist among mortals. Where supernatural beings are ruled by the Cadre of Ten.

Guild Hunter Elena Deveraux’s life has been turned upside down in the last two books. 

Not only has she fallen in love, she’s gotten a new body, a new job, and a lot more haters.

So basically, it’s just another Tuesday 😉

Let’s find out what kind of immortal hijinks Elena gets into in ARCHANGEL’S CONSORT!

About the Book

Nalini Singh steps back into the shadows of her “heartbreakingly original” (Errant Dreams Reviews) world where angels rule, vampires serve, and the innocent can pay the greatest price of all.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil.

A vampire has attacked a girls’ school—the assault one of sheer, vicious madness—and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders.

The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear.

An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed…

My Review

OMG! If you thought the first two books were exciting, Archangel’s Consort blows them both out of the water! There’s so much excitement, danger, intrigue, suspense, and so many mysteries to uncover!

I am so happy that we’re back in Elena’s home of New York. She’s still getting used to her wings. WINGS! Can you believe it? Elena is so happy she’s alive and with Raphael, The Archangel of New York, whose love gave her wings, literally and figuratively!

In this book, we get to see how Elena and Raphael navigate the power dynamics of their new relationship as well as Elena struggling to reconcile the person she’s become with the person she once was. Can she still be the badass guild hunter she’s always been AND Raphael’s partner in this dangerous world of immortal politics? Let’s find out!

I love watching Elena settle into her new life and experiencing all the new relationships she’s making. But some things are still the same: Elena is fiercely loyal to all those she calls her own, her wicked sense of humor is always welcome in any situation, her unflinching courage as she faces down opposition and adversity, and unfortunately, her estrangement with her father. That’s a wound that may never fully heal.

Archangel’s Consort is a storyline packed full of exciting, funny, scary, sexy, heartbreaking, and wonderful things! If you blink, you might miss something!

I highly recommend the series and cannot WAIT for the next book!

Countdown Review: Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh

On May 5, 2026, the Guild Hunter series will come to a close with ARCHANGEL’S ETERNITY. 

I’m counting down the days until the final story is told by sharing my reviews for each book in the series.

ARCHANGEL'S KISS is Book #2 in Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter Series.

The Guild Hunter series is set in a world where angels and vampires exist among mortals. Where supernatural beings are ruled by the Cadre of Ten.

Elena goes through a tremendous transformation at the end of ANGELS’ BLOOD and in ARCHANGEL’S KISS. we pick up where Nalini left us stunned and breathless!

Having the love of an Archangel has put a bullseye on her back. Elena must be in tip-top shape to face what lies ahead.

If you love strong female leads, then I highly recommend the series! 

About the Book

In this Guild Hunter novel, New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to her world of angelic rulers, vampiric servants, and the woman thrust into their darkly seductive world…

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find herself changed—an angel with wings of midnight and dawn—but her fragile body needs time to heal before she can take flight. Her lover, the stunningly dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to being in control—especially when it comes to the woman he considers his own. But Elena has never done well with authority…

They’ve barely begun to learn each other when Raphael receives an invitation to a ball from the archangel Lijuan. To refuse would be a sign of fatal weakness, so Raphael must ready Elena for the flight to Beijing—and to the nightmare that awaits. For ancient and without conscience, Lijuan’s power lies with the dead. And she has organized the most perfect and most vicious of welcomes for Elena…

My Review

We pick up shortly where we left off in ANGEL’S BLOOD. Raphael gave his Elena immortality in order to save her life. Her transformation is nothing that has ever been seen in recorded existence. While Elena is considered a baby in immortal terms, Raphael’s enemies would like nothing more than to destroy his happiness by killing her. Not wanting to be a weakness to Raphael, Elena throws herself into training and getting used to her new body.

Thankfully, Elena’s hunter born tracking abilities stayed with her after the transformation. They are needed here. A series of unfortunate events have been staged in order to create dissention between the archangels. With a seat open in the Cadre of Ten, some nefarious, power hungry beings are playing a deadly game.

If that wasn’t enough, Lijuan—a batsh*t crazy archangel with some super scary abilities—is throwing a ball in Elena’s honor to welcome her into the immortal world. To decline such an invitation would be unwise. Everything comes to a head at the ball and you definitely don’t want to miss this explosive second installment to the series!

The brilliance of Nalini Singh always amazes me. Her stories are finely crafted with engaging plots and extraordinarily complex characters! I loved reading about Elena’s transformation and I admire the strength she possesses. Despite the past she still suffers from and her current status as a weak, baby immortal, Elena’s determination is off the charts. I want to be Elena!

I also love the shift of background in the book. The story is set at the Refuge, a safe, hidden land where younger immortals are protected. We also get page time with the rest of Raphael’s Seven, including Galen, Aodhan and Naasir.

There is nothing about the story that I didn’t like. I can’t recommend this series enough!

Countdown Review: Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh

On May 5, 2026, the Guild Hunter series will come to a close with ARCHANGEL’S ETERNITY. 

I’m counting down the days until the final story is told by sharing my reviews for each book in the series.

So let's go back to where it all began...

In March 2009, Nalini Singh published the first book in the Guild Hunter series, ANGELS' BLOOD. 

The Guild Hunter series is set in a world where angels and vampires exist among mortals. Where supernatural beings are ruled by the Cadre of Ten.

Ten archangels with unimaginable powers; their beauty unmatched and often looked up to as gods. Yet to encounter an archangel ensures an almost certain death, to cross one holds a fate far worse than death.

In ANGELS' BLOOD, we meet guild hunter Elena Deveraux. A hunter-born woman with an affinity for scenting vampires, which makes her one of the best and most lucrative guild hunters in the region. 

Pretty soon, Elena's reputation catches the interest of the most deadly being in the country, the Archangel of New York.

What does an Archangel want with a Guild Hunter? 

Do you want to find out?

Are you ready to tangle with an Archangel?

Me too! Let's go!

About the Book

FIRST IN THE GUILD HUNTER SERIES!

Nalini Singh introduces readers to a world of beauty and bloodlust, where angels hold sway over vampires.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux is hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael. But this time, it’s not a wayward vamp she has to track. It’s an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other—and pull her to the razor’s edge of passion. Even if the hunt doesn’t destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break.

My Review

ANGELS’ BLOOD is the first installment in Nalini Singh’s exciting and dangerous Guild Hunter series. This is also a deadly world full of blood and violence that may not be suitable for younger readers. 

Elena is a guild hunter, a member of an age-old organization who tracks and returns vampires who’ve escaped their service contracts to their angels. Elena is also hunter born, a mortal with extrasensory skills that help trace vampires. It also leaves them vulnerable because vampires have an infinity for sensing and being drawn to the hunter born. Elena is one of the best guild hunters in the world and she is really wishing she wasn’t when finding out whom has contracted her skills for the next assignment: The Archangel of New York.

This book was unbelievable! The plot was engaging and entertaining. The characters are exquisitely crafted and each one vital to the storyline. I have devoured the book several times and after my umpteenth re-read, I figured I should put some words to page about how awesome the story is and how much I adore the author!

It was the characters that made the story for me. They were multi-faceted and easily relatable. I love how each one is a mystery just waiting to be discovered. Elena and Raphael were magic together. The pairing seemed unbalanced because Raphael is hundreds of years old and a cruel being full of immense power, and Elena a hunter born mortal who’s lived but a speck of time.

Elena is a honed blade, sharp and deadly with an inner strength, fierce loyalty and pure of heart. I honestly thought she was too good for Raphael.

This is an awesome beginning to the series and I HIGHLY recommend ANGELS’ BLOOD to anyone who likes their paranormal romance dark, dangerous and deadly.
