Publisher's summary

In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot - should not - be walking the streets.

This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves. Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there's one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash's secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both.

Great.

I fell in love with Javier and Ash all over again in this audio version. This series and author is definitely a huge favorite.

Good story but.....

Let me start off by saying, this is a really interesting and excellent story. The characters are well developed and you really do get pulled into their lives. The issue I had was.... I couldn't stand the reader's voice! She sounds like she's either really bored with reading or like she's trying to make it sound sexy and mysterious. OY! Half the time I wanted to turn off the book just so I didn't have to hear that lazy tone. I'm sorry, I know some people may love it but to me....no.

An awesome storyline

I loved Janvier and Ashwini's story; it was well written and well told. However, I think that Nassir stole the show with glimpses of who and what he is! Loved visiting with Dmitri and Honor, Raphael and Elena, Caliane, Ilium and Aohdan?

Still love this world.....BUT....

First and foremost, this ties for the best series EVER with Black Dagger Brotherhood of course! BUT...this book left me a bit flat. I don't know why, I guess it came across more as a psy changling book than a guild hunter book....all the players where there but they didn't gel exactly like they have in previous novels, it almost felt like a short, even though it was 12 hours long.

Very sad that is wasn't 22 hours long like the pre-order stated, but still wonderful to visit the world of the Guild Hunters...but I think I just wanted to hear more from Raphael and Ellena. If you are a fan of the series it is a must have, but for the first time this series has let me down.

Still worth downloading every book though, and the narration was wonderful as always!!!

Archangel's Shadows Review

I love this series. The characters are strong and quirky and the story lines are entertaining.

Love this series

I’m so glad she changed her mind and decided to live eternity with him because their great together

Perfect ending to Ash's story

Even though it's not technically an ending to her story. But it's the beginning of a new period. Last time I read this series I actually stopped at the beginning of this book and took a break. I can get burnt-out reading the same series if there are too many books in one series. This time I'm excited to continue. I'm much more connected to the characters.

Love this Series, But....

I absolutely love the Archangel series. However, I wasn't all that interested in the 2 main character's story line. I preferred catching up with Raphael, Elena and the 7 much more. Even though the story was written well, I just kept wanting to FF through the other parts.

Ash and Janvier just didn't do it for me. With that said - I'm still a big fan of the series.

Full of joy, sorrow & charm

The ongoing flirtation and competition between Ashwini & Janvier, which has been a source of entertainment for both the Guild & the Tower, matures into more. The quirkiness & spookiness that is Ashwini syncs with the charm & guile that is Janvier as they navigate their separate investigations in post-battle NY. We get to appreciate the sweetness of Janvier's relationship with his family & their descendants; along with the love and sorrows of Ashwini's relationship with her family. I also elect Ellie to host all parties. Well done, Singh & Eyre.

One of my favorite Guild Hunter books

Main characters are some of the most realistic in the series with tantalizing romance story
