Get A Taste: Archangel's Consort

Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I often read very different books but sometimes find interesting new books to potentially add to the ever-growing monsters that our TBR piles have morphed into. However, we know that we do not have 100% the same taste and we wanted another way of getting a look at these books...

Do you ever feel like getting a bit of a taster for a book you’ve been thinking of reading but aren’t fully sold on yet? Do you feel like sharing a taster for your current read with the world? Well, here’s your chance.

Each week the random number generator will pick a number between 1 and 100 for books with pages or 1 and 25% for ebooks. We figured that these numbers would keep us out of spoiler territory. Open your book to the specified place and pick a paragraph. Share it with the world!

This week its: 
Page number: 36
Kindle/ebook: 15%


My Teaser:

'Elena touched her hand to Luca's shoulder as she passed, intending to check out the primary scene one more time. 
"Hey, Ellie." When she glanced back, he said, "It's good to have you back, notwithstanding the circumstances."
The words, the quiet acceptance, meant everything. "I haven't forgotten I owe you a drink."
"It's two now --- interest's a bitch."'


This is a 3rd in a series and I loved it so much :) it's a great adult book and it was an easy read :) 


Do you want to join in too? Here’s how:

Step 1: Copy and paste the Get A Taste image.
Step 2: Copy and paste our intro or write your own but it must link back to both of our blogs.
Step 3: Find the designated page for the week.
Step 4: Type out a paragraph or so from your book.
Step 5: Post it and share it!

We would appreciate it if you'd leave a comment letting us know where we can find your post. We'll be sure to pop on by and leave a comment!

Review of Archangel's Consort (Guild Hunter #3) by Nalini Singh

Description 
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil…
 
A vampire has attacked a girls’ school—the assault one of sheer, vicious madness—and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders. The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear.
 
An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed…

*This is an adult book and may contain strong language and does contain sex*

My Thoughts 
I finally bought this with a part of my Nana's Christmas money so I got it in time for it to be wrapped up and put under the tree. After reading the first two one after each other I was glued to the series only to discover my sister gave the third one away.. so I had to wait to get this book. The cover shows me Elena I think who is one of the main characters.. and the description sounds very good, so I'm hoping for a great book like the two before this.

This got me hooked after errm maybe 1 page. I loved the way it just jumped into a storyline with no stopping. The style of writing is easy to follow and the words just flow from the page and into your read making you just wanting to read more. In this book they mention stuff which happened in the books before to help people if they have forgot anything or maybe just to make the storyline flow. You find out interesting new things which keep you asking for more. I was very said when i finished this book knowing that right now the only other book to read doesn't revolve around Elena but Dmitri instead which I may look into reading at some point in my life. The POV changes between Elena and Raphael to make sure we see both sides of the story when Elena and Raphael are not together.

I'm going to talk about the characters I feel are the most important. :)
Elena is the main woman and has been for all 3 books, she has grown and changed through all 3. She used to be just a human who had a natural gift to be able to separate different people.. or vampires or Angels by just scent. I think in the second book is when she became an angel by being made..by her lover Raphael. She is stronger than she was in the second book and is able to fly a lot better and fight. I love Elena a lot and I feel she is such a strong person and I like how she fights along side Raphael knowing she could die.. but knowing her love for him is for more important.
Raphael is the Archangel, who would do anything to protect Elena his lover, he has been in it from the start and I didn't like him much in the first half of the first book.. but how I love him now.. his love for Elena is so.. well I love it. He is a brave, strong character and he tries his best to do what he think sis right , even if it means getting hurt in the process. He also cares about his fellow friends.. Illium, Dmitri.
Illium is an angel.. and he has a past of his own and I would of loved to know more about him but of course this book was mainly focused on Elena and Raphael. He is a loving and caring guy and I liked how he would do anything for Raphael. He is the only one which actually likes or cares about Elena in my opinion.. and even if Elena wasn't with Raphael, I still think he would care and like her.
The last character I'm going to talk about is Dmitri because I feel he deserves to be talked about even though I don't really like him. I feel he is very annoying but deep down I feel he does care .. just a little about Elena though he doesn't show it. He is a vampire which has annoyed me from book 1 when he was annoying Elena. He also would do anything for Raphael, as he did swear an oath of some sort.
The book is full of familiar faces but also new ones which will make this book a very good book, also the sex scenes are very interesting and actually makes the story a lot more interesting, and without them I think the book would of been boring and shorter.

My overall opinion of this book is that I loved it very much and I'm sad that this is kind of the last book.... though there is a 4th on in the series but it is about Dmitri - Archangel's Blade.
I loved every little bit of this book and that is why I have rated it 5 stars :)
I recommend this book to people who have read the 2 before and to adults who like a good vampire.. angel book.

Review of Archangel's Kiss (Guild Hunter #2) by Nalini Singh

Description
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find herself changed—an angel with wings the colors of midnight and dawn—but her fragile body needs time to heal before she can take flight. Her lover, the stunningly dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to being in control—even when it comes to the woman he considers his own. But Elena has never done well with authority... 

They’ve barely begun to understand each other when Raphael receives an invitation to a ball from the archangel Lijuan. To refuse would be a sign of fatal weakness, so Raphael must ready Elena for the flight to Beijing—and to the nightmare that awaits them there. Ancient and without conscience, Lijuan holds a power that lies with the dead. And she has organized the most perfect and most vicious of welcomes for Elena…
^^GoodReads^^


My Thoughts
After reading the first one, i obvs had to read this one, and this one is way better, and it has more action, or other stuff like that.
Elena is slowly healing, after what happened in the last book, and Raphael is doing everything to protect her from anyone who seeks to harm her.
There is also new characters as well as soon we all ready know of, and there is evil amongst the good guys, but we do not know whom.
So read this book if you have ;
1) Read the first one: Angels' Blood
2) Enjoyed the first one
3) COZ i loved it sooo much, so i hope you love it too :)


*This is an adult book, and contains Sex as the book before did*

Review of Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter #1) by Nalini Singh

Description
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she is the best- but she does not know if even she is good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, Elena knows failure is not an option—even if the task is impossible. 

Because 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 does not destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just might. For when archangels play, mortals break.
^^GoodReads^^


My Thoughts
My sister, gave me this one to read, and also someone said to me its great, so i went, fine, ill read it :)
It was a brilliant, book, from start to finish, and i was instantly in love with a few characters..
Elena, was a very great and amazing character , she was strong and confident, and she also had flaws which i love about characters, coz if they are perfect then what's the point..
Raphael is , well, in my opinion a hot, devilsh , and well, amazing character, he also has flaws, and hes just that typical male character, or in this case, a typical Archangel :) mmmmmm :p
There is evil, fighting, and allllot more over stuff :)


*This is an adult book, and contains Sex, which i am finally used to, but i still sometimes giggle, as a 16 year old me do* 


SO read this book !!
