The Guild Hunter Series is excellent and should be required reading for lovers of paranormal romance, but the works may also be read alone.

ARCHANGEL'S BLADE documents the tale of Honor, a damaged young woman attempting to come back to herself after a horrible torturous attack. Helping her do so is the notoriously cruel vampire Dmitri, for whom she is attempting to decipher tattoos on a severed head and for whom she has always held a smoldering affection. Little do they realize that his origins as a vampire, their connections to the world's archangels, and their own tragic pasts entwine within several recent criminal mysteries. While seeking revenge, connecting past deceits to present crimes, and alternately fighting and submitting to violent passion, Dmitri and Hope also have to learn if they can trust each other and themselves.

This work is amazing. The mythos is intricately detailed (thus encouraging a read through of the entire series at least once), the characters are fabulous, and the story is realistic on many levels (even within a paranormal world). Get this book!
