"Fans will relish Nalini Singh's excellent first GUILD HUNTER thriller"
The Angels hire vampire hunters Elena Deveraux to capture
or kill vampires who turn evil. Elena is the first choice
of the Angels as she is the recognized best vampire hunter
in the world. Her uncanny innate skill of scent tracking
is what makes her the greatest. However even the unflappable Elena is shocked when the
Archangel Raphael wants to hire her. She has never done a
job for an archangel before and finds his beauty
overwhelming. The assignment is extremely dangerous: hunt
down a rogue archangel, the most powerful species of all.
Raphael says she only track the target as he will perform
the kill, but she fears she might be part of the
collateral damage of two archangels fighting. This opening act of a new urban fantasy (after the
fabulous Psy-Changeling saga) uses an interesting
hierarchal spin to refresh archangels, angels, and
vampires. The story line cleverly uses action to depict
the relationships between the paranormal; as Angels
control vampires using hunters when the bloodsuckers go
rogue. Fans will relish Nalini Singh's excellent first
GUILD HUNTER thriller starring a courageous heroine
struggling with lust and the powerful archangel who wants
her. Harriet Klausner

SummaryFIRST IN THE GUILD HUNTER SERIES from "a major new
talent" (CHRISTINE FEEHAN).
Nalini Singh introduces readers to a world of beauty and
bloodlust, where angels hold sway over vampires.
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she's the best—but
she doesn't know if she's good enough for this job. Hired by
the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so
lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is
clear—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 doesn't destroy her, succumbing to Raphael's
seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals
break...
