Review: Archangel's Lineage

Archangel's Lineage by Nalini Singh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for the pre-release copy of Archangel's Lineage. Below is my honest review.

Another excellent entry into the long-running Angel and Vampire series by Nalini Singh. I love how each book has a strong central plot but also weaves in threads building the main storyline, all while following different couples from the world throughout the installments. This one was another Elena and Raphael story. Things have started to settle down after the Cascade and the fallout from Lijuan's betrayal that left the world devastated in many ways. Of course, that means something has to happen, right? Well, that something is the Refuge becoming unstable, which could have massive ramifications for angelkind and their balance with the rest of the world.

With ties to the ancient past and hints of the future, this one really delved into some of the key aspects of angel history, leaving some breadcrumbs towards some potential story lines that could be the next phase of the series.

Just a warning, the way this book goes almost feels like an ending and ties up quite a few things, so you can imagine my relief when I checked Singh's website and found "Guild Hunter 17 coming 2025." I would have been very upset had another favorite series ended and I didn't go into it prepared for that!

Highly recommended, with the warning that this series build on itself exponentially, so not starting from the beginning might dampen your enjoyment.
