Newly-made Angel Elena, is vulnerable to everyone. Even the Cadre want her dead. Raphael has his hands full protecting her since she is a fighter and wants to fight her own battles. Elena went from being the strongest hunter to being the weakest angel. It's a hell of an adjustment for her and for Raphael.

I liked the progression of Elena's growth as an angel and guild hunter. Her weapons training and fighting technique took up a good portion of the book and was tedious at times. A lot of this could have been left out and not affected the storyline. The romance between Raphael and Elena was intense and overtly sexual though they didn't really have sex until the end of the book. Apparantly she wasn't strong enough for his brand of love making. (wow)

I was disappointed in this book maybe because I was expecting too much of it since Angels' Blood was so spectacular. Raphael is domineering, controlling and at times (too many to count) an asshole. Sure he loves Elena but his behavior sucks. I like my heroes strong but Raphael goes over the line. They may be in love but they know almost nothing about each other. Most of the time the learning curve was fun and entertaining.
