This is the third book in the Guild Hunter series. It opens with Elena returning to New York and getting ready to start to reclaim her life - with a few additions. However, the plans for her return quickly change when a vampire attacks a school that her two half-sisters attend. Reconnecting with her friends has to be fit in around a world dealing with crazy weather and vampires going rogue and giving into blood lust in record numbers - signs that one of the Ancient Sleeping angels may be waking.
The story line through most of the book was pretty good. I like watching Elena and Raphael figure out the balance of their relationship - she so much weaker than him in every way, but determined not to be coddled any more than necessary. They certainly reached a more healthy balance than they had at the beginning of book 2.
There were some interesting developments with her family, as she finally gets to interact with her step mother and half sisters for the first time since she moved out - and none of them wound up being quite what she expected. Her relationship with her remaining full sister changed as well.
One thing I was quiet thankful to see changed was a drastic reduction in the flashbacks to the unpleasant memories of her childhood. They were still there, but at a more reasonable level.
I didn't care for the ending it felt rushed and the big revelation left me going "Wait, what?". It will be interesting how the balance of power among the archangels settles out in the next book.
