Archangel Enigma A Guild Hunter Novel Book 8 edition by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance eBooks

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 alone, the series really must be read in order to understand what is going on.

And Nalini Singh had left me positively salivating over her teasers regarding Naasir. So I started it as soon as I had a minute and read during my lunch break, and then bitterly regretted not picking a time when I wouldn't have to stop. I can't stress this enough, do not pick this up until you have the time to truly sit and read this. I think this might be the best book in the series so far, and I don't say that lightly.

Naasir was a terribly enticing "tiger creature", just a perfect blend of animal innocence and playfulness with enough self-aware sexy man to make him just right, and terribly attractive. Fun and straightforward, but cunning where it counted. I liked him even better than I expected, and learning his secrets was a great enjoyment. Andromeda, frankly at the start I wasn't sure I would like her at all, let alone for Naasir, even with the sparring teaser she just seemed too buttoned up and too mired in her troubles. But she turned out to be perfect.

As for the story itself, we learned quite a bit more about the cascade, Lijuan and Charisemnon need to die now more than ever, and there were some timely appearances by the rest of the series favorites, but mostly this was Naasir and Andromeda's story. And Naasir's back story was wonderful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Elena is never going to guess it, not in a million years.

As for Andromeda, this is the second book in a row where the Big Secret was used to great effect, and had me almost ripping my hair out and screaming "JUST TELL HIM ALREADY!". But it really was an untenable situation, so I couldn't really blame Andromeda. And I have to admit, between her vow of celibacy and each of their secrets, it kept the tension through the roof.

I am going to stop now because anything else is going to devolve into rabid fan girl screaming. I completely recommend this series, and this book in particular.

Also, count me in for team Bluebell+Sparkle. I ship that so hard it hurts. I am figuring the next book will be another Raphael and Elena book. Then we have Illium, Aodhan, and Venom to see to.

Archangel Enigma A Guild Hunter Novel Book 8 edition by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

That's the one problem with this series when compared to other series by other authors - all of Singh's novels rate a 5. But then, while I really enjoyed each of the novels in this series - I do have my favorites and this is one is now of them. I guess I'll just have to rate this a 7.

(Note - I don't do book reports. I just state why I really, really love this series.)

The Wonderful
There's a continuation of the world building,character developments and plot from one novel to the next in the series without any gaps or "Huh" moments. Everything flows.

This novel focuses on Naasir - a character that has played a backup part in the past novels. For several novels, Nalini Singh has slowly been developing this character and the mystery surrounding him - giving the reader a glimpse of his unique outlook on life and his childlike/animalistic perspective on honesty, loyalty and what a family means to him. I am in awe of the writing skills of Nalini Singh - she must think 10 steps ahead in order to so slowly introduce the characteristics and mannerism of her heroes/heroines long before the novel that features them. By the time this novel was finally published - I really, really wanted, needed this novel to satisfy my craving about Naasir. In fact, I made sure that September 1st was cleared of all obligations, that I had snack and drinks at hand, got up early so that has soon as the book could be downloaded that I was ready for it. Then I read it without stopping except to let my cat in or out a few times. (Luckily that wasn't often since she was content to just lay next to me being petted with one hand or we might have started hissing at each other.)

Singh is always consistent in her work. All the novels are consistently good, consistently well edited, characters are consistently well developed, the plot and world building are consistently being developed. Singh doesn't just write words - she creates mental pictures of the characters, actions and the world that all of this takes place in. I know that when I pay out my money that I am getting a bargain - something that I will enjoy and can come back to time and time again. (Yes, I do reread books, especially in a series that I love. I would have to put a lot of time aside for a reading marathon for this series.)

All the characters in this series are all so unique and so well developed that they come to life. None of the characters are perfect people - even the heroes or heroines which makes them so much more believable. They experience both physical and emotional pain, make mistakes, and have mannerisms that are distinctive for that particular character. The skill involved in giving Naasir almost a childlike attribute but also invoking a sense of Alpha male with a cunning, wild and heroic characteristics without seeming to be a contradiction and making him unbelievable truly highlights the imaginative, creative skills of the writer.

The heroine, Andromeda, is a strong woman - not in strength so much as in spirit, intelligence and cunning.

Why someone might not like this series
- First, this series MUST be read in order. The characters and world development, the plot, the actions all flow from one novel to the next. The characters introduced, their interactions, their relationships - everything that happens in past novels is needed to fully understand and enjoy the current novel. None of the novels are stand alones.
- If you are not into paranormal - just don't understand it - just don't get it - PLEASE do not try this series and leave a 1* review with "I really don't like paranormal books" or my personal favorite "I did not know that this book was about paranormal beings." THIS IS A SERIES ABOUT PARANORMAL CREATURES INCLUDING VAMPIRES - AN IMAGINATIVE WORLD - IT'S NOT ABOUT ANGELS AND RELIGION!
- If you like to read about a "sweet, young thing" waiting for her "knight in shining armor" to rescue her - this series is not for you. The females are fighters, each in their own way, and are not about to sit around and wait for someone to rescue them.
- The males are definitely not the "Mr. Mom" type. They are not perfect - they do act like a**es at times - and you will find while reading that you just really want the female to smack them down. They are Alpha males and carry baggage but the heroes are loyal, protective and while not exactly tame - can at times act civilized - maybe.
- There is graphic violence. These novels take place in a violent world with power struggles. This is not a "nice" novel. It's intense with really bad villains doing really bad things. The violence is not to just "shock" but is a part of the plot and world development where good must be even "badder" than the evil.
- There is also explicit sex but again it's not just for "shock" value or because the author wanted to hop on the "Shades of Grey" bandstand. It's not every page and it's not gratuitous. In most cases, It's part of the development of the relationship between the characters. In other cases - it's used to convey the mannerism or character flaw in a protagonist.
- If you looking for something quick, easy and everything is just peaches and cream - just skip away from this series.
