Powerbook Recommends This April

One of my favorite author Ms. Nalini Singh has released her 2nd installment of her Guild Hunter series, Archangels' Kiss. Although released in the U.S. (per amazon.com) last Feb 2010, this is now available in Powerbooks Philippines this April. Yipee! just 2 months delayed! I hope local bookstores will be more updated next time, a month delayed after US release dates is not really asking too much. :D

Read on for book synopsis from www.goodreads.com :

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…

I rate this as 5 stars *****

** SPOILER ALERT ** 
 

amazing! I totally love how Raphael is becoming more human in his emotions. Elena still kick-ass even with an additional appendage she's still trying to get used too. But I wouldn't complain, if I were her, it more than tips up the scale with her being able to fly now.
Book 3 can't come out fast enough!

  1. This is also available in National Bookstore. I'm tempted to get these pretty UK covers even though I already have the US paperback for Angel's Blood. I loved the worldbuilding in these books and both Elena and Raphael are great characters.
