*** Spoiler free review *** I loved it! It's one of my favourites! The ending left me a bit confused, but I don't think it was a cliffhanger as some say. It ties the book well, and has you yearning for more. The book itself was evenly paced, and by that I mean things happened FAST. I was hanging by the seat of my pants the entire time. I inhaled it in 9 hours flat. The plot was consistent, the book itself was very immersive. You got thrown into it from the start. No training wheels. We got a lot of new info on the Cascade, the angel-made and some characters were developed better. I highly recommend it, especially if you don't want to feel lost in the next book :)

Whatever you think you know about the Guild Hunter series and whatever expectations you have, throw all those things out the window because all bets are off in Nalini Singh’s ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY! I absolutely could not put this book down! The story’s exciting and fast-paced with plot twists and turns that will give you whiplash! No words ever written are good enough to express the magnitude of what I’m feeling for this book. The characters are flawlessly and brilliantly crafted, the storyline is deeply complex and engaging and the fierce love between Raphael and his Elena is without equal! There are so many wonderful, exasperating and unbelievable surprises in this book that I can’t really say anymore without giving things away. But what I can share is that the story takes place a few years after the events of ARCHANGEL’S VIPER. If you are not yet in love with Nalini Singh, you will be after this book! I experienced so many emotions while reading the book. I laughed, I cussed up a storm, I cried, I cheered, I cussed some more and shed a lot more tears! I will say though, most of my cussing was because the story ends in a cliffhanger. I hope you don't see this as a spoiler but as a heads up. As a reader, I know I'd rather be forewarned than blindsided. However, this ending doesn't take away from how magical, wonderful and exciting the story is. Hands down, ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is the BEST book I’ve read this year. And while this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I’d definitely recommend checking out the rest of the series too because it’s amazing! No one writes romance like Nalini Singh! Get your copy today!!! ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review***

ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is the eleventh instalment in Nalini Singh’s adult GUILD HUNTER dystopian/ paranormal/ urban fantasy series focusing on Archangel’s, angels, vampires, shifters and hunters. ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is the continuing story of New York’s Archangel Raphael, and his consort, human turned angel Elena Deveraux. ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY should not be read as a stand alone as the story line continues the series arc focusing on the Cascade, and the growing evil surrounding two of Cadre. Told from several third person perspectives including Raphael and Elena ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY follows Elena as she tasks herself with uncovering the truth behind a series of attacks and dismemberment against vampires and humans including the near fatal attack against her sister’s mate. As Elena begins to dig deeper into everyone connected with Harrison’s past, strange phenomena and environmental disasters begin to wreak havoc in Raphael’s New York territory, phenomena that directly affects our story line heroine. Slowly reverting back to her mortal self, Elena sees apparitions and warnings of impending danger and doom, doom that the Archangel Raphael is powerless to prevent or defeat. ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is a love story wherein one of the most powerful beings is unable to prevent the fall-out of power, death, rebirth and the prophecy. Struggling to stay one step ahead of the approaching destruction of his heart and his soul Raphael learns that the ultimate sacrifice is only the beginning of a new awakening and his chance for a future. Nalini Singh’s ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is a captivating story of unimaginable conflict; of pain and loss, of heartache and grief. As our couple battle that which they cannot see, others must battle that which remains to be seen. ARCHANGEL’S PROPHECY is a raw, real and powerful story; a startling and staggering look at devotion, love, sacrifice and the helplessness in the inability to stop the inevitable fall.
