I love this series and always look forward to the stories of Elena and her Archangel。 One thing I love about this series is that they all build on each other the characters the drama。 I love the growth of everyone。 Although this one was very neatly finished and I wonder if we will get a book about a few new characters introduced soon。。。 and maybe the redemption of another？3。5 stars。thank you to Net Galley for this copy All opinions are my own。

3。25 stars。 I more than liked this book， because visiting with old friends is always great， but there was definitely the bittersweet feel of a well deserved peace after far too long fighting。 I'm glad we got a lot of final bits， but also glad that we were left with the feeling that life will go on with its regular ups and downs - not the recently catastrophic ones that had almost become Elena and Company's normal。 While I felt this series could have been brought to a close several books back， th 3。25 stars。 I more than liked this book， because visiting with old friends is always great， but there was definitely the bittersweet feel of a well deserved peace after far too long fighting。 I'm glad we got a lot of final bits， but also glad that we were left with the feeling that life will go on with its regular ups and downs - not the recently catastrophic ones that had almost become Elena and Company's normal。 While I felt this series could have been brought to a close several books back， this is a good place to stop for now。 Or to shift focus to another area in the world and other characters。 。。。more

I was really excited that this addition to the Guild Hunter series actually takes us back to Elena and Raphael。 While all of the stories and couple are great， Elena and Raphael hold a special place in my heart and this super interesting world that Nalini Singh has built。 Recently， we've seen a lot of stories additional characters get novels， which are fun （too me especially if they're the really 'old' characters whose stories expand across time）， but the heart of this series is held together bec I was really excited that this addition to the Guild Hunter series actually takes us back to Elena and Raphael。 While all of the stories and couple are great， Elena and Raphael hold a special place in my heart and this super interesting world that Nalini Singh has built。 Recently， we've seen a lot of stories additional characters get novels， which are fun （too me especially if they're the really 'old' characters whose stories expand across time）， but the heart of this series is held together because of Elena and Raphael's story。 Coming back to them as they struggle to find a balance in life after war and lingering craziness was amazing。 I loved that we get more of Elena's back story and relationship with her father while also dealing with an Ancestor awakening。 The crazy alternative history， life-shattering consequences if they don't figure out the mystery， and poignant love between couples， friends， and family all makes for a fun read。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 A great edition to the Guild Hunter Series。 This time we got what I’ve been wanting since Lijuan died， a time skip。 It’s been ten years since the end of the war and the ppl in the guild Hunter universe are very much in rebuild mode。 Most Archangels are minding their territory and their business and there are no pointless petty fights。 We see the first signs of Elena experiencing what being frozen in time while her mortal friends and family age means， and all the kids， Eve， Zoe， etc are grown。 Ho A great edition to the Guild Hunter Series。 This time we got what I’ve been wanting since Lijuan died， a time skip。 It’s been ten years since the end of the war and the ppl in the guild Hunter universe are very much in rebuild mode。 Most Archangels are minding their territory and their business and there are no pointless petty fights。 We see the first signs of Elena experiencing what being frozen in time while her mortal friends and family age means， and all the kids， Eve， Zoe， etc are grown。 However much like during the cascade natural disasters start to plague the world again and for the first time in Angelic history the protections of the refuge can’t shelter their most vulnerable。 This book ends up being a race to solve the mystery of why this is happening and the awakening of an ancient so old that he’s literally one of the last universal common ancestors for some of the cadre。 Very good book 4。5/5 stars 。。。more

Archangel’s Lineage deals with Elena’s change from mortal and immortal and what happens when those you love continue to age without you。It has been ten years of quiet rebuilding since Lijuan， the Archangel of Death， has been defeated。 Most of destruction has been rebuilt， the reborn have been destroyed and the world is experiencing a true peace。 But that peace is shattered when the land begins to quake under the Refuge， where the babies and most vulnerable are hidden from the world in general。 A Archangel’s Lineage deals with Elena’s change from mortal and immortal and what happens when those you love continue to age without you。It has been ten years of quiet rebuilding since Lijuan， the Archangel of Death， has been defeated。 Most of destruction has been rebuilt， the reborn have been destroyed and the world is experiencing a true peace。 But that peace is shattered when the land begins to quake under the Refuge， where the babies and most vulnerable are hidden from the world in general。 And as the quakes continue to destroy the buildings and schools， they also realize that the veil which keeps the Refuge hidden from prying eyes is beginning to fray but no one remembers how it came into being， let alone how to fix it before the Refuge is unveiled for all the world to see and their vulnerable angels and precious baby angels will no longer be safe from prying eyes。Archangel Raphael and the Cadre have hidden the most vulnerable underground but more and more violent natural disasters may point or an Ancient awaking from sleep or something much more ominous。 Jessamy， the Refuge Librarian and the Tower’s Vivek have been working together and have uncovered information written in a language even older than Old Angelic， and there is no key for a translation but it seems to indicate a being even more malevolent than Lijuan。Meanwhile， no one has seen Archangel Qin in some time。 With the Cadre down in members， now isn’t the time for Qin to sneak off to go back to Sleep。 Now Raphael will need to deal with Qin’s territory halfway around the world to make sure the vampires there don’t succumb to bloodlust while there is no Archangel to oversee the territory。And while Raphael is trying to hold the whole world together， Elena’s personal world is quietly collapsing around her。 Elena and her father have had a rocky relationship since her mother’s death so long ago but when she receives news that Jeffrey has suffered a major heart attack and might not survive， Elena rushes to his bedside and quietly prays that they have time to repair their rift before she loses her chance forever。THOUGHTS:This story is mostly about Elena getting her first bitter taste of what happens when you are a “child of mortals” who becomes immortal。 As much as she loves her new life with her Archangel， she is beginning to realize that will also mean she will long outlive her family and her human friends。 Her father ends up in the hospital， suffering a major heart attack; she notices her little sister Beth has some gray starting in her hair; she even realizes that Sara’s dog who was “just a rambunctious puppy” is now gray-muzzled and having trouble getting up。 Obviously we all needed Elena to be immortal to have that HEA with Raphael but leaving behind her humanity also means outliving everyone she knew from her old life， something often discussed in prior books of how does Bluebell keep befriending humans even though he has lost so many of those friends in his only 500 years。Most of the Cadre also get a shock in realizing that this past decade of peace is a first for some of the younger Archangels， such a Raphael’s one and half centuries。 Most of the ancients awaking from slumber in the last few books haven’t realized just how crazy things have been while they were sleeping after millennia of their own peaceful lives。 There were always land disputes between Archangels but never anything as crazy as Lijuan or even Neha。I don’t know if it will be the feature of the next book but we do have an interesting storyline of Vivek and a very old vampire underworld leader？ Madam？ Dominatrix？ And while Vivek can walk at this point， he is suffering a lot of pain now that his nerve endings are regenerating。 It would be a very interesting story。I love this series but there is a little floundering in what to do in a post-Lijuan storyline as peace doesn’t equate to the same excitement as a full-on Archangel battle like in Archangel’s War。 。。。more

This book has a definite time jump in it and Elena has to deal with the fact that everyone she loves from her moral life will grow old and die。 The big thing that the angels are dealing with is the fall of the magic that protects the Angel refuge from mortals。 The Cadre receives some help in the form of a very old Angel woken from sleep that even his name has been forgotten。 The Cadre must set aside any grievance they have and work together to fix this issue。 Another good story set in this unive This book has a definite time jump in it and Elena has to deal with the fact that everyone she loves from her moral life will grow old and die。 The big thing that the angels are dealing with is the fall of the magic that protects the Angel refuge from mortals。 The Cadre receives some help in the form of a very old Angel woken from sleep that even his name has been forgotten。 The Cadre must set aside any grievance they have and work together to fix this issue。 Another good story set in this universe， and I can’t wait to see what happens next with this new angel。 Digital review copy provided by the publisher through Edelweiss 。。。more

Nalini Singh has done it again。 She has given us a book with a great story， interesting characters while giving us background on many of the people that we have come to know and love。 It was nail biting in some instances to see where all this would end…or is it a beginning for some？ Can hardly wait for the next installment。

The premise sounds so exciting！ I'd love to see more of Elena and Raphael in the Refuge again and have another big villain after Lijuan。 Hopefully we'll see a bit more of Illium and Aodhan's developing romance as well。 April is still so far away。 The premise sounds so exciting！ I'd love to see more of Elena and Raphael in the Refuge again and have another big villain after Lijuan。 Hopefully we'll see a bit more of Illium and Aodhan's developing romance as well。 April is still so far away。 。。。more

Received an ARC from NetgalleyI don't know if this is the last book in the series， but it kind of felt like the last book in the series。 I enjoy the books about Elena and Raphael more than any of the others （though I do enjoy the others）， so it was nice to get back to a book focusing on them and their relationship。 It was also nice to have a book that wasn't back to back to back war/violence。 While there are certainly catastrophes in the book， it wasn't constant battle which is a nice change fro Received an ARC from NetgalleyI don't know if this is the last book in the series， but it kind of felt like the last book in the series。 I enjoy the books about Elena and Raphael more than any of the others （though I do enjoy the others）， so it was nice to get back to a book focusing on them and their relationship。 It was also nice to have a book that wasn't back to back to back war/violence。 While there are certainly catastrophes in the book， it wasn't constant battle which is a nice change from several of the recent books in the series。 A lot of this book is about Elena coming to terms with what it means to be an immortal while all of her family and friends （okay， most of her family and friends） are mortal and aging。 I was a little disappointed in the Jeffrey/Elena storyline as the timing seemed a little off to me - why when Jeffrey almost died rather than the two times Elena was basically comatose？ It just seemed a little odd to me。 。。。more

I have loved this series since the beginning and this book has outshined all its predecessors。 Tying up many of the major plot lines and giving emotional closure to the tragedy haunting Elena this book is so satisfying。 I really appreciated the moments where Elena is seeing time passing for her mortal friends and family and is starting to grapple with the cost of outliving those you care about。 This book deftly explores grief and treasuring the fleeting moments we have。

Raphael and Elena are experiencing their first ever year of true peace。 An archangelic power celebration at the Refuge is cut short by an earthquake。 Where can the angelkind's young go if this safety fails？ Then other dominos begin to fall。 Elena’s father has a heart attack and an archangel disappears。 But the biggest change is the return of an Ancestor， an angel unlike any other， wakes with a warning for the Cadre。 Why I started this book: I always jump at the chance to read the latest Singh bo Raphael and Elena are experiencing their first ever year of true peace。 An archangelic power celebration at the Refuge is cut short by an earthquake。 Where can the angelkind's young go if this safety fails？ Then other dominos begin to fall。 Elena’s father has a heart attack and an archangel disappears。 But the biggest change is the return of an Ancestor， an angel unlike any other， wakes with a warning for the Cadre。 Why I started this book: I always jump at the chance to read the latest Singh book and this was no exception。 Requested the ARC as soon as it was available。Why I finished it: So wonderful to return to Raphael and Elena。 I can't believe that this is book #16 of the series。 This feels like a bridge book。 Necessary for the continuation of the series， tying up loose ends from before and opening up new horizons。 Not my favorite of the series but I trust Singh to have more in store for my favorite characters。 。。。more

4 out of 5 starsARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。I have to say， I did not know where this book was going in the beginning， and I was a bit worried。 Truthfully， up until the half way mark， this was a 3 star read for me and it has been a long time since I've rated any books from this series at that level。 But then a lot of crazy shit started happening， and everything worked out from there。 The ending was a bit sad， but in a good way， so fans can look forward to that。T 4 out of 5 starsARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。I have to say， I did not know where this book was going in the beginning， and I was a bit worried。 Truthfully， up until the half way mark， this was a 3 star read for me and it has been a long time since I've rated any books from this series at that level。 But then a lot of crazy shit started happening， and everything worked out from there。 The ending was a bit sad， but in a good way， so fans can look forward to that。This book gives a lot of closure to certain emotional storylines that have been woven through this series from the beginning， while also introducing potential pairings for the future。 Based upon who gets the spotlight， I would not be surprised if either Vivek， or Andreas get their book next。 It's also clear we will get another Aodhan/Illium book， but I think that's a few years away。 However， I think Keir deserves to find his special lady after the events of this story。 No spoilers， but I am dying to learn more about him。 Especially now。 All in all， if you are a fan of this series， all I have to say is just let this one cook， before you write it off。 There's a lot of lore that gets dumped on us in this one， along with a few new characters， which will likely spice up this series in the future。Also， I cackled when the character who ends up having the same name as me is a thousands of years old vampire， who used to be an arms dealer， before owning a highly exclusive boudoir。 。。。more
