Good but...
I enjoyed this book as much as I did Angels' Blood and with the same complaints. I think Singh does a great job of building the romance and sexual tension between the main characters. However I feel like the payoff is weak.
Possible spoilers follow**
The main tension between the already established couple, Raphael the Archangel and Elena the Hunter made Angel, is that he doesn't want to have sex with her because he's afraid it will be too much for her. Since they have already had sex in a previous book, and since he's got her out practicing hand-to-hand combat every day, you think this sex is going to be something out of the ordinary if she suddenly can't handle it. Powerful sex. So when they finally have sex, it is pretty ordinary. I think with that much build up, Singh should have described something extraordinary. I felt like it was build up for nothing and then you feel kind of tricked by the author, a distraction from the story.
As to the good, I loved the way the unresolved things from the previous book were carried forward and explored (e.g. "drip, drip, drip"), the continuity with tensions between Elena and other secondary characters. I really liked learning about the Angel world, their backstory, and exposition about the Seven. I keep wishing those Seven would get their own books, Singh has made them very compelling and interesting.
Overall a very good book.
3.5 stars
