Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required – those more common to predatory animals than to man.
Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature – at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the sleeping archangel before it’s too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows…and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare.
Not a stand-alone, but every book in the series is worth reading, even if only to get to this book. Nalini Singh is another one of those authors that I have been reading and in love with for much longer than I have been blogging. Archangel’s Shadows seemed to be one of the more polarizing books in this series, but considering we are now on book 8 for this series, it would be surprising if there hadn’t been at least one controversial book. I really enjoyed Shadows and it left me absolutely intrigued about the next hero. And for those who haven’t gotten into this series, this is not a stand…
Enigma: A Person of Puzzling or Contradictory Character. Nailed it, “can’t Put It Down” Does Not Begin To Cover It I have read the word enigma many times and I guess I kind of knew what it meant but usually gave it a situational definition. I decided that maybe I ought to look up the actual definition before writing this review.Â
As wildly exciting as its hero Archangel’s Enigma is as utterly captivating and wildly exciting as its hero! Nalini Singh has outdone herself in this eighth Guild Hunter novel. Naasir and Andromeda are complex, fascinating characters and their love story shines bright against the dark, dangerous, and equally intriguing backdrop of the Guild Hunter world.Â
