This is an excellent book! Yes, it's got vampires, angels, creepy monsters (of the human and paranormal variety), and other hallmarks of the current paranormal craze, but the world is also intricately developed and interesting.

Although her Archangel and lover, Raphael, saved Elena from death, not by turning her into a vampire, but by Making her into an Angel with a mortal heart, the echoes of her past continue to haunt her. A Guild Hunter who tracks criminals based on their individual combinations of scents, Elena has to fight fear and her memories when it seems her half- sisters are targeted at their school. While Elena has to deal with a frustratingly alive father and the echoes of her mother's suicide, Raphael fears his own mother may be waking...waking and insane, a situation that might destroy the world.

Steamy and beautiful, ARCHANGEL'S CONSORT is a great novel that makes me want to read everything that Nalini Singh has ever written.
