I really enjoyed that this book focused so much on Raphael and Elena's relationship. And he finally showed her how angel's danced! That...was some dance, sign me up! hehe As I've read, the next books in the series will be about Raphael's Seven and I couldn't be more exited about this! We get to see a little more on some of the Seven in this book, which I really enjoyed.

Archangel's Consort is the third installment, in this series. This book continues with Raphael and Elena's story. It continues off shortly after the second book. Both Raphael and Elena are having to deal with quite a bit all at once. Raphael's mother, the oldest and one of the most dangerous of their kind is starting to wake up with dangerous consequences. Elena is still dealing with nightmares of her childhood and having to face her past, and still training and making an effort to gain as much strength and agility as she can before they face Raphael's mother, because they both realize she will wake up and when she does who knows what her plans will be for them.
A lot of women have trouble with their mothers-in-law.”
Raphael’s look was priceless. “My mother is an insane archangel.
What was quite interesting about this one, was how we see more elements of this world come into play, a bit of focus on their relationship but not as strongly as the second book. We see both Raphael and Elena individually battle their own demons. What was most vital about this book was how at the end of the day, for Raphael and Elena all that mattered was that they stood together. This has been their moto ever since they fell in love with each other. They both know they with Elena still weak and considered a "babe" of their kind, their chances of survival isn't super high. But we learn some remarkable insights into their bond to each other, insights neither of them or the readers realize until the end when their relationship is tested in a very brutal way, but at the same time we see how powerful and healing their love can be for each other.
“For the first time in forever, he was stunned to silence. Not by her words, but by the tenderness in her hands, the worry in her eyes. He was an archangel. He’d been wounded far, far worse and shrugged it off. But then, there had been no woman with sun kissed by the sunset and eyes of storm gray to tear into him for daring to get himself hurt.”
Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. What has been remarkable about this series, was seeing how Raphael and Elena have been dealing with conflicts and challenges both separately and collectively.
Even as she spoke, silver blue flashed on her other side and then Illium was standing beside her, his wing touching Elena's in an intimacy that made Raphael raise an eyebrow. Illium's lips curved in a wicked smile that did little to hide the intensity of his emotions. I would not watch you die again, Sire. His veins stood out against his skin as he gripped the wrist of one hand with the other.


Raphael met those eyes of gold that had stood beside him for centuries. If I had done so, I would have gone knowing you would keep my heart safe.


Illium's gaze went to Elena. Always

We see more of the supporting characters and a reunion of Elena and her best friend Sara with her husband and their little girl---it almost made me cry. Because even though they have been in contact, they haven't physically seen each other and you see how much Elena cares for this family when her own have practically abandoned her, but this family is the one that she created and built and you see how much it matters to her. Loved every moment and delicious detail of this book. I am curious to see where the series goes from here.

Archangel’s Enigma (8)

Amy Grieve

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… 

The vampires are acting out and breaking their contracts,strange natural disasters are rocking the world, all of which can only mean one thing... an immortal is rising. And Raphael is pretty sure he knows who it is. Caliane... his mother. 

Okay, so for starters, this book was AMAZING! Nalini Singh didn't disappoint with the third Guild Hunter novel. 

We are back in New York and Elena is trying to adjust herself with her old life. I find Elena's struggle to be real, unlike most novels. You can see her overcoming her fears and battling her way through the obstacles her new immortal life throws at her. 

Elena and Raphael's relationship is stronger than ever. You can see their love through every little action. I have to say they are one of my favourite couples ever. 

I hope that the next book is as good as this one.

Okay, this whole series is just owning my life. I could not put this one down. I love seeing Elena and Raphael's relationship grow.
