Welcome to Litsy!

I liked the story and the world building, and even the characters, but the way the author focused so much on how strong and brutal Raphael was and how helpless Elena was and how that made Elena mad, was disturbing to me. It didn‘t really make sense how love could come from that for me.
Elena is guild Hunter who must learn to work with Archangels to try to stop a horror from killing more innocents.
2/5 stars, romantic logic was lacking

Elena is the best vampire hunter in the Guild. Which is why she was chosen by Raphael, the archangel of New York, to help him track down a fellow archangel on the brink of madness and bloodlust. I loved Elena; strong, bad-ass female heroine‘s are my weakness. The world building is fantastic and I can‘t wait for the next book. This is my first by Singh, but not my last!

Great book. I will definitely continue this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #nalinisingh #guildhunterseries

I loved this. It was funny, steamy with some mystery. Great world building, i might read the others in the series later.

Yay for finishing my spin and double spin in their respective month for the first time.

Raphael is an archangel, which is basically an angel on steroids (not a heavenly angel, just a separate race). This is the first in a fantastic series that I highly recommend.

So finished the first book of the #24in48 #SocialDistancingReadathon and this months #ParanormalLoveCrew read.

This was a re-read for me, and I love this series! I particular like how the vampire/angel relationship is written. I need to read the most recent two in the series, but I am working on another series at the minute. Hopefully this year though!

Also how gorgeous is the tattoo in this cover? If only it wouldn‘t hurt, or cover up my other!

So I am gonna say Aziraphale (Good Omens) but really I like the demon Crowley better. I mean a demon is a fallen angel right? So that should count.

My weapon of choice... My charm! Ha I will distract them and others can hunt them. Haha!

I can only get away with this when he is tired, otherwise he will eat my book!

Making a start on my #ParanormalLoveCrew #MarchPick this Sunday afternoon.
The washing is in, some chilli is in the slow cooker, and we have had a nice long walk. So perfect time for some reading ☺️

1. I have never seen the movie but I read the book and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was amazing! So my vote for best vampire hunter will be I Lincoln!

2. I've never read an angel book before (I can't think of one if I have). This months book I didn't like (started it early because of libby) and ended up DNFing it.

22% : I am not liking this at all. It started off a bit interesting with the world building but... Raphael is getting to be too much of a domestic violence vibe. I mean I am all for strong male characters and I am okay with that dynamic most of the time but... maybe because he is an angel and horrible? I am not sure what it is. Maybe its the Catholic upbringing that is making this difficult to accept. (or my history with domestic abuse/violence).

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Excited to announce the winning book for the #ParanormalLoveCrew group for March is Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh! Get your books ready for a fun filled month of falling back in love with the paranormal. I'll be trying to come up with a challenge to do along side of the book with the help of the lovely Elizabeth (@AsYouWish). So keep a look out for that. Also anyone is welcome to still join. #PLC

Entertaining. Action-packed, interesting characters.

The first book I ever read when I was 13, and the best

I love it when traditional concepts of good and bad are challenged. #24in48

This book was so good! The first in the Guild Hunters series! This is 100% a guilty pleasure book. (With no guilt!) A paranormal romance novel with vampires, hunters, angels and archangels. I‘ve been in the mood for trashy fantasy novels and this fit the bill!

This also fits a prompt for #readingwomenchallenge - Author from New Zealand

A story about a vampire hunter in a world where angel's "create" the vampires. I loved the story line. I didn't realize this was a romance, so I was more annoyed by the sexy times as I was looking for kick-ass action. Luckily there was enough action and interesting world building to keep me hooked. I'll be reading book 2.

Read this because I was looking for romance with an alpha-male trope (it‘s my fave) and his is what popped up. It was okay. I felt like some of the chemistry was forced and I don‘t know that I necessarily bought the whole angel as a superhuman sub species thing. I‘m used to JR Ward, and this was just a tad different for me.

I had some serious issues with this book (maybe alpha heroes are not for me?) BUT I really enjoyed my first time at the Romance Book Club! Maybe a tiny bit disappointed that we did not discuss the egregiously bad sex scene in this book. So. Bad.

Seriously thinking of going to this book club. Podcasts are making me so happy right now but actual humans may be even better? Could I read the book that I have not started yet by Tuesday at 6:30 pm? Probably. Overcome introvert new- thing-aversion? Maybe. 🤔 Anyone ever been to a romance book club before? #bookclub #atx

She always makes my heart pound.

Hello, Litsy! This is my reading list for April. Im a little behind, but I finished the Nalini Singh book and am reading Beverly Jenkins, plus another book not on the list - whoops!

This isn't terrible but it's just not my thing. I haven't read much urban fantasy / paranormal romance so I'm not sure if this is representative or not. I just didn't feel that into it. This author was recommended to me as a great #WOCInRomance so I think I will try one of her contemporary ones instead. #Romantsy

Done. Thank goodness. I like Nalini Singh‘s writing style and I enjoyed the first book of her Psy-Changeling series, but I truly abhorred the characters and storyline in this one. I hate read most of it and forced myself to finish when I only had 100 pages left. The romance wasn‘t believable and I agree with other reviewers who struggled to get past the undertones of domestic abuse. Overall, uncomfortable and unpleasant.

I‘m completely hate-reading this one now. At page 83, I was miserable (bored, didn‘t like the characters), but said I‘d give it 20 more pages before bailing. Something happened at page 100 that intrigued me, so I kept reading. I‘m now at page 184 and I hate both of the main characters, but I‘m curious about what‘s going to happen, so I have to finish it, because not knowing will bug me. 🤬

December #TBR update. I think this may be the first month that I complete my proposed #TBR from the first of the month. I just have one more book to go.

ADVICE WANTED!! I need a break from the slog that is The Alienist. I picked up both of these first-in-the-series novels by Nalini Singh from the library today. I‘ve never read anything by her. For those of you who have, which should I grab first?

@Gissy It arrived! It came on Friday but I had to wait since I was leaving for my friends bachelorette! I love it! Thank you for everything!

So I read all these books and let me tell you it is addicting!!!!! The plots, the action , the drama, the sex!!! I love it 🤗

Ein absolutes tolles Buch. 😍 Amüsant, lustig, düster, brutal und heiß. 🤗 Für mich deckt es alles ab und ich fange an mich mit dem Genre 'wohl zu fühlen' . 😂

Hier die ersten zwei Neuzugänge. 🤗
Irgendwie steige ich hier aber noch nicht durch, ihr? 🤔

I am seriously loving this book! Good solid story, fast paced action and some seriously lusty scenes!!

I'd give this a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. Interesting urban fantasy world-building, in a New York where angels, archangels, vampires, and vampire hunters live amongst the humans. I didn't much like the hero for much of the book, because his cruelty and lack of human feelings. But I did enjoy how he evolves, and I do enjoy the twist at the end, so I will be reading the next book soon to see where the story goes. #romantsy

Going through this latest pile from the library makes me happy.

I read this for my paranormal book club. I'm not sure if it's because I listened to the audiobook instead of reading but I was just bored with this book. I couldn't connect with the characters at all.

Book 1 of the Guild Hunter series, this book did not hit my buttons. I found the male lead too bullying and cruel when introduced, which left a nasty shadow of domestic abuse over the rest of the "romance". Not the right series for me.

Nalini Singh is one of the authors I love!
Not only are her books amazing, but she keeps readers informed through newsletters, Facebook and Twitter posts (mostly from Ashwini) has a great sense of humour and is just all round awesome ☺

💕❤️💕

When I finished reading Archangel's Heart, I decided I really wanted to go back to the beginning so I am re-reading Angel's Blood.
