Angels' Blood

The steamy urban fantasy murder mystery that is filled to the brim with sexual tension

By: Nalini Singh

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

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...

Loved reading it, Loved listening to it

I loved hearing the accents of the characters. When I read it I didn’t have accents to relate to. I just love this series and the stories Nalini shares AMAZING! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Book is great but Justine Eyre made it even better!

I'm starting the next one. Cannot wait! It is strange, because obviously I know the plot:)

Such vivid imagination !

It’s a great fantasy, scary detective story, a thrilling romance all wrapped in winges and fangs. Just wonderful. I have read the books at least four times and listened a third time in the past two years. Still can’t get enough. I just wish Elena’s voice sounded better and less shaky/trembly. Makes her sound a bit weak.

Great book, bad narrator

What did you love best about Angels' Blood?

The story is really well written. The action scenes, the sex scenes, the dialogues. Everything keeps you on the edge of your seat.

What did you like best about this story?

The paranormal world created by Nalini Singh is very interesting, and the love between Elena and Raphael, how they both change and are willing to risk everything for each other, it's really moving. Elena is a great heroin. Easy to love, tough, fun, real, in a way the reader can really relate to. And Raphael is extremely sexy, dangerous, a real badass anti-hero.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Justine Eyre?

Susan Eriksen

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

No idea :P

Any additional comments?

Hated the narration. She has a great voice, but just doesn't bring any emotion to her sentences. Sounds like she's reading a manual or something equally boring. I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks narrated by Susan Eriksen, and it's completely different. There's acting, there's emotion. Justine Eyre just repeats the words like a robot.

Drama!

So much drama. It is a good read between heavier bigger books. it's romantic and infuriating and perfect for two days when you just want to be in a different world for a little while.
