Summary

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she's the best - but she doesn't know if she's good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear - failure is not an option... even if the task she's been set is impossible. Because 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. Because when archangels play, mortals break.

The lamest heroine ever

I couldn’t finish it. One gets enough of hearing how wonderfully beautiful the archangel Raphael is... that while playing stupid games with him. For a strong feminist hunter, Elena is a great prude worried about being emotionally hurt by having sex with a guy she completely desires... that’s pretty lame. She spends more time playing around with her hunk than actually stopping a gruesome murderer... how can one think about sex when someone is removing people’s hearts?

Spoilt alert: when they finally sleep together, beside being the most boring sex scene in a book ever written, he has to promise he will not sleep with other women and she does the same. Blah!!!!! So stupid! If the heroine was a young innocent girl, that would fit, but she is suppose to be strong, independent, challenges her parents, but is sexually prude and emotionally weak. The sort of heroine I totally don’t like. If she’s strong, sexy and unforgettable, he shouldn’t have to promise anything... he just voluntarily wouldn’t do it. I just see a weak and insecure character hiding behind arrogance and aggressiveness.

The background story is just there so that the book isn’t just about little Elena’s life and love. So much girl-power cliche, childish, badly written, lots of useless scenes...

this story had a huge potential! :-(((

Please, Renee Rose take this archangel character and create a proper paranormal romance out of it.

Must read/ listen

Where does Angels' Blood rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book ranks quite high among all the books i have listened too. I read the book first and enjoyed it so much that i thought listening would be a good idea and it didm' disappoint.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I loved the interplay between all the characters and it is difficult to choose just one scene although all of the one on the roof stick in my mind.

Any additional comments?

I read many different genres of books and different authors including Ilona Andrws, Trudi Canavan, Ben Aaronovitch, A G Riddle.... and this has stuck out as a good read and slightly different.

Great story, slightly grating narration

I have been a huge fan of the Guild Hunters series for years and was excited to listen to the audio books when I saw that the first 3 were on sale for £3 each. I still enjoyed Angel's Blood, but found the narration a bit of a let down, as JE's voice isn't particularly pleasant to listen to. I'd think twice before getting anything else she narrated, but it's not so bad that it would put me off something I really wanted.

Really enjoyed this book

Not sure what I expected this story to be but it pleasantly surprised me. Really enjoyed this book, loved the new take on angels and vampires, looking forward to the rest of the series.

Narrator is also good, don't know why but her voice for Raphael seems perfect for how I'd expect an aloof arrogant angel to sound!

Lacked a storyline

Great idea. Interesting characters. But more Archangel porn than story substance. That's it for me.

if calsberg made angels

I loved this book why? well it had adventure, sexiness and romance. the heroine was smart , funny and above all kick ass, the hero was also a villien at times but came across as strong, attractive and protective. Singh weaves a story of intrigue and suspense couple that with steamy sexy vampires and a hint of steamy sex between some of the characters and you have a book with bite.
The narrator had a clear sweeping voice who seamed to meld the character's easily you always knew which character was speaking and when. you didn't confuse Ransom with Rafael or venom with Dametrie or Elinor with Sara each character has their own lilt and timber.
well worth the money I paid and I want more.

Good Listen

What did you like most about Angels' Blood?

First book in a series - I enjoy reading/listening to a series time to get to know the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

One of my favourites was Dmitri - a strong character who has the protection of his master at heart

Have you listened to any of Justine Eyre’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I LOVE the Riley Jenson series - one of my absolute favourites. I think she did better as Riley Jenson as she carried an Australian accent very easily.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

May be when she shot the angels wing

Any additional comments?

I purchased this book 9 months ago listened to the first fifteen minutes and it didn't capture me so I put it aside. I found the book again in my library and decided to give it a second go and found I like it - I wouldn't say love but it was a good listen. I will buy others in the series particularly if they go not special offer. This is not meant as a major criticism and I know this may sound odd but it bothered me that the book contains various Angels but never mentions God.
