4.5

"Archangel's Kiss" is a direct sequel to the first book in the Guild Hunter's series, "Angels' Blood". I think I liked this as much, if not more than Angels' Blood. I really enjoyed the banter between Elena and Raphael and

the bits we get about Elena becoming an angel and learning how to do angelic things, like fly, end up being really interesting.

Overall it was a good book, it ends on a light cliffhanger but I don't mind because the rest of the series has already been released. 

A few of the scenes were a bit too gruesome for me, which is why I'm knocking half of a star off. 

I give this book a 4.5 out of 5

4.0

As much as I love this series I find that I find this book a little less fun to read. Seeing Elena get used to her new immortality and her relationship with Raphael grow stronger is good. But the side plot of Anushka didn't draw me in so much as it made me feel it was a distraction from the main plot.

An important part of the series still though.
