Recommended Read

C. L. Polk turns their considerable powers to a fantastical noir. A magical detective dives into the affairs of Chicago’s divine monsters to secure a future with the love of her life. This sapphic period piece will dazzle anyone looking for mystery, intrigue, romance, magic, or all of the above. ... more >

It’s a cliché to comment on how quickly a year has passed and in the Covid era the months sometimes pass slowly. 2021 wasn’t an easy year so I’m glad I found some great books to make it feel a little lighter. There weren’t an entire ten but I’ve had ... more >

Janine: I loved Nalini Singh’s recent release, Archangel’s Light, so much that it sent me back to the beginning of the Guild Hunter series.

Dear Nalini Singh, Illium—playful, loyal, kind, and powerful—has been a charismatic presence in the Guild Hunter series since the first book, Angels’ Blood. Aodhan hasn’t been quite as prominent a character but his light-refracting beauty, artistry, and remoteness give him an almost haunting quality. Their fast friendship was always intriguing ... more >

REVIEW: Archangel’s War by Nalini Singh

Has Elena survived or is a repository of power for Raphael all that is left of her? As the novel starts, Raphael, also dormant, mentally contacts his Seven and ... more >

Dear Ms. Singh, As a longtime reader of your Guild Hunter series, I was looking forward to this book. In one of the earlier books, snippets of a prophecy were revealed and it seemed to foretell the destruction of Lijuan, the horrific archangel of China who has gone to sleep, ... more >
