angels_gp17's review against another edition
5.0
Loved this book full of novellas in the Guild Hunter world. Each story was a treat. Fans will love getting the fist glimpses into characters who have come to mean a lot and those who haven’t started the series get a taste of the world; before it became something altogether different.
Angels’ Pawn - 5 Stars
This one we get a closer look at Ashwini, Elena’s Guild Hunter colleague and Janvier. It’s a little moment in time with these two; before they get their full Novel [b:Archangel's Shadows|17409835|Archangel's Shadows (Guild Hunter, #7)|Nalini Singh|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1394162943s/17409835.jpg|24252401].
In Archangel’s Shadow they mentioned this moment this assignment briefly and it made me want to find out more on the backstory of Ash and Janvier’s relationship.
Ash is smart, tough, and can kick ass. She also has some “talent” or a curse, depending on who looks at it. Janvier is the ban in her existence. She’s hunted him in the past, but here he stands by her side for a Guild assignment. He has a talent for making friends with anybody.
Angels’ Pawn focuses on the action rather then the romance. The chemistry is their and we Sigh does a wonderful job giving us a taste of, Ash and Janvier's, budding teasing flirtatious relationship. As for the world it's terrifying and riveting.
I loved Angels’ Pawn.
Angels’ Judgement - 5 Stars
This one we get Sara Haziz story. She is a human-born Guild Hunter who later becomes the Guild Director for America. Before she becomes the Director she is sent on a mission and tested by the Archangel’s - The Cadre. But, she’s not alone. Yummy, Deacon is at her side. He’s their to offer protection and to help Sarah on her mission.
It's action-packed and gritty. I loved every moment of it. They are hunting one of their own, a Guild Hunter who may or may not have gone off the deep end. Sarah uses her mind along with her crossbow to her advantage. Deacon was a amazing. He does his job well, but he can also be light and funny. The chemistry was off the charts with these two and those love scenes, steamy.
Angels’ Judgement was a treat. It was wonderful to see Sarah and Deacon become lovers. This novella was perfect. Their is action, danger, blood, and romance.
Angels’ Dance - 5 Stars
If you have been reading the Guild Hunter series then you have caught glimpses of Galen and Jessamy, but in this novella, they shine.
I have been wanting their backstory for sometime. Galen is one of Raphael’s Seven. We get glimpses into him and what he does, but here we find out their is so much more to him. I loved Galen. He’s fierce, loyal, protective, and honorable. Jessamy is the teacher of angelic young, a library, and the keeper of angelic knowledge/archives. She’s fragile, strong willed, and has a strong heart.
Reading about these two was exquisite. They matched perfectly. The sexual tension was amazing. The writing is magnificent. The scenes are so vivd bring the characters and world to life.
Angels’ Dance was a beautiful crafted novella. I loved everything about this one.
Angels’ Wolf - 3.5 Stars
I read this in [b:Angels of Darkness|10557809|Angels of Darkness (Alphas, #0.5; Guild Hunter, #3.5; The Guardians, #7.5; Samaria)|Ilona Andrews|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327938643s/10557809.jpg|12785399].
I enjoyed this short story. I liked both Nimra the Angel and Noel the Vampire. Nimra needs help and Raphael sends Noel, but he thinks he’s been cast aside; because of what happened to him. Both of them needed healing in different ways and they come to find what they need in each other.
Angel’s Wolf is a sweet, sad, and enjoyable read.

Overall rating 5 stars because I loved all of these novellas!
Angel's Dance - 5 stars
Jessamy and Galen REFUSE to get out of my head, even though I read this book in November. How rude!
I loved everything about that novella. I want to be Jessamy when I grow up.
Angel's Judgement - 5 stars
If you like Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost, this novella has very similar vibes. I actually loved reading about Sara and Deacon and their monster dog. It makes it so much sweeter every time they're mentioned in the next books.
Angel's Pawn - 4 stars
Javier and Ash, good gosh. The chemistry between these two is sizzling. Although Javier is definitely already a goner for Ashwini, I loved that it didn't end in an instalove trope. It was way too short, I needed so much more, but thankfully we get a full length novel so I can't wait to get to that one!
Angel's Wolf - 4.5 stars
Nimra and Noel, SWOON. I loved seeing how Noel was doing, and getting to know him as more than just a pawn in the big scheme of things. I loved the relationship build up between him and Nimra, their little quips and how they both let things slide because they were interested in seeing where it would lead. Though the quiet power struggles were probably my favorite part about this one. And that ending! I did NOT see that coming, my jaw literally fell open and I gasped so loud I think my neighbors must've raised an eyebrow in alarm.

4 short novellas in the Guild Hunter world that give us more background into some of the secondary characters. Makes for a more embellished world that Elena and Raphael live in. Fantastic!

This collection of stories is absolutely amazing. Especially the story between Galen and Jessamy - I was blown away by the beauty of their tale. Overall, this collection adds so nicely to the series, whetting our appetites for Jason's story! Thanks Nalini for another fabulous read!

Very good short stories from the Guild Hunter series.
Angel's Pawn:
4 stars. This was a good one. Janvier and Ashwini's story was good but be warned it's not their romance story. It's more of the start to their romance but hopefully they will get a full length novel sometime in the future.
Angel's Judgment:
4 stars. Read this one in the [b:Must Love Hellhounds|6286042|Must Love Hellhounds|Charlaine Harris|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349041819s/6286042.jpg|6470221] anthology. Didn't read it this time so I'm just copying and pasting my previous review. This was an entertaining short story. The pace moved really well and it's a fun time. I've read the first book and I really enjoyed seeing how Sara and Deacon got together. I'm really liking this series and I look forward to reading the next one.
Angel's Wolf:
5 stars. I really loved this one. I thought Angel's Dance (the next in the anotholgy) would have been my favorite in this collection but boy did this one come out of left field for me. Noel is the vampire that was severely tortured/injured in a previous installment (can't remember which one off the top of my head) and he's sent to Nimra's court. At first he thinks it's because Raphael thinks he's broken but we soon find out that he's there for another purpose. Nimra who is a lethal archangel but Nalini Singh does a fantastic job of pulling back the layers of a character. There is more to Nimra than her lethal side. The cast of characters surrounding her were a delight as well.
Angel's Dance:
4.5 stars. Loved this one as well. Although not a favorite it was close. We see Jessamy and Galen a little bit in various installments and in this one we finally get their story. I loved how Galen was instantly interested in Jessamy. He was possessive and alpha but at the same time he would give her space when she needed it. My one complaint, Jessamy constantly thought about her deformed wing, on the one hand I understood why it was on her mind that much on the other it did get irritating when she brought it up to guys who were interested in her.
Overall this was a great anthology and I look forward to the next installment Archangel's Legion (GH #6) coming out this year.

Angels' Flight (Guild Hunter 0.5, 1.5, 4.5, 4.75) by Nalini Singh
Four short novella’s that take place in Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter world. I’d already read three of the four Angels' Pawn, Angels’ Judgment, and Angel’s Wolf but it’s nice to have them all in one place rather than trying to remember which anthology they were in.
Angels’ Dance is the only previously unpublished story in Angels' Flight. It is Galen and Jessamy’s story. It is a wonderful “nerd” and “jock” love story. Jessamy is the teacher/ historian at Refuge that has a deformed wing and can’t fly. Galen is Raphael’s new weapons master. I enjoyed this story so much that despite my over-flowing TBR shelf I am going to go back and re-read the Guild Hunter series.

I only read Angel's Wolf and Angels' Dance in this book. I'd read the other two stories separately.

Angel's Wolf:
Another side of Nimra is shown, and her actions prove that no, Nimra is not just the cruel, feared angel residing over Louisiana. Noel reminded me of our very own Aodhan, he is loyal and protective.
Angels' Pawn:
Finally, we see where Ashwini and Janvier's courtship began, and how they bonded. This short story takes us back to one of the earlier Ashwini/Janvier meetings and the grounds of their flirtations.
Angels' Judgment:
This short story tells us about Sara and Deacon's first meeting, how their dog was named, and Sara's journey to become Guild Director. It really is a mini instalment of a Guild Hunter book, filled with the same mystery and adrenaline rush.
Angels' Dance:
This tale killed me. Quite a long short story, the content is amazing, and the last few chapters feature some of the best writing overall in this series. My heart breaks for Illium, forever one of my favourites. Jessamy and Galen's first meeting is an intense thing, as they both struggle with inner demons and their unspoken desire for each other. Although it takes time, they learn to trust one another, and that it is okay to be heartbroken sometimes.
