Fresh Fiction Review

Archangel's Ascension

ARCHANGEL’S ASCENSION takes Nalini Singh fans back to her Guild Hunter world featuring favorites Aodhan and Illium. As two of Archangel Raphael’s Seven, this couple finally has come home to New York to continue their life together as well as work for their beloved boss.

From childhood playmates, friends and teammates to lovers they continue to live a life full of shocks, heartache and surprises. Investigating a case for the Tower they find reminders of the past that nearly destroyed Aodhan. Will the future allow them to continue being Sparkle and Bluebell or will an ascension destroy what they have?

ARCHANGEL’S ASCENSION is one of those books you hope for – yet now – as fans have come to love these angels as they are, they might not be happy with any changes to them. But one of these pairs is destined for bigger things than being a simple member of the Seven.

Elena, Raphael, Dmitri, Naasir, and others from the prior books make frequent appearances throughout the story.

The story is broken up into parts that take you to various times and places. We get glimpses of Adi and Blue’s past as this book looks back on things that happened as children as well as showing the growth of these men and the people around them as they have become who they are. I would suggest that you keep the tissues handy as many things come to light, decisions that can only be made by the power that surrounds them.

ARCHANGEL’S ASCENSION brings back many of the characters that make this world so much fun but as the book before – there is quite a bit of a time spread. The children are no longer children they are all a bigger part of the world.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us back to her breathtakingly passionate Guild Hunter World, where an impending transformation will be both an ending and a beginning…

Aodhan and Illium. Adi and Blue. Sparkle and Bluebell. Friends become lovers, their future a wild unknown.

Finally reunited in New York, they must now learn to navigate the monumental shift in their relationship. But for these two members of Archangel Raphael’s legendary Seven, there is no time to rest. As they investigate a case for the Tower that echoes the darkness from Aodhan’s past, they will be forced to confront not only the scars that mark them both, but the promise of a vast power that flickers in Illium.

The threat of ascension has haunted and troubled Aodhan’s Blue for too long, the forces of change immutable and without mercy...and uncaring of Illium’s fierce wish to remain part of the Seven. Change is a constant in an immortal’s life, and this new horizon will bring with it both terrible heartbreak and a joy extraordinary enough to reverberate through time…
