Archangel's Prophecy by Nalini Singh
4.0
This is an Elena/Raphael installment in the series. As much as I enjoy the Seven and other Guild hunters, I find I like them better as supporting players and that I enjoy the E/R installments the best.
Two really good mysteries happening in this book.
Elena's vampire brother in law in attacked and left as close to dead as a vampire could be in his own home. He is only alive because the would-be killer was surprised in the act before he could finish the job. This one plays like a stone whodunnit/procedural with Elana tracking down clues, interviewing witnesses, following breadcrumbs etc.. I also liked the identity of the killer when they discover who it is. As an (almost) murder mystery it makes sense.
The other mystery is much more fraught and plays into the overarching storyline in all the Elena and Raph's segments. Elena is regressing. She's losing feathers in her wings, she is not healing fast, she's losing weight at an alarming rate, and to top it all off she keeps hearing a voice in her head, A voice of prophecy. And the prophecy ain't good. This isn;t something she can investigate, she has to wait for the truth to reveal itself. When it does she and Raph desperately try everything in their arsenal to subvert it. But fate is a stubborn bitch.
The ending was exciting as both threads -- the mundane mystery and the angelic one -- converge. And Raph's final, desperate hail mary is the very definition of ride or die.
Now we just have to wait for the next one to see what it all means.
