Angels Blood by Nalini Singh

Synopsis:

"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 thoughts:

This was a re-read of a book I read about... oof. 12 years ago? It was about as cringe as I remember - but not in a bad way.

First of all, I read all the books of this series already, some of them more often than not. The first book isn't my favorite, but it's way up the list, thanks to nostalgia.

I probably like Elena way more than I should soleley because she has a complicated love/hate relationship with her father. I can relate to that - my father isn't the nicest person either and while he isn't as shitty as Jeffrey Devereaux, I can relate to her struggles a lot.

The story was very basic and I skipped the sex scenes (I'm just not interested in reading smut, sorry). The worldbuilding was okay, but since I know the world and the people living in it already I think there is a lot more that could have been explored.

Anyways.

The Cover. It's so ugly. The german, UK and american version are all horrible. They are all so very 2010 it's not even fun anymore.

I finished reading this book on July 7th, 2025.
