As a born hunter, Guild member Elena Deveraux possessed the ability to sniff out her quarry. Every vampire has their own particular scent which Elena could track with deadly precision. Elena’s reputation led to her latest job assignment, a hunt commissioned by Archangel Raphael. As an archangel, Raphael was the deadliest being Elena had ever faced and from what little information he had given her, the focus of the hunt was another archangel. Whether she succeeded or not, death was the likely outcome of this most dangerous job. Then again, maybe that would be a mercy compared to Elena’s fate should she succumb to the passion that blazed between her and Raphael because as everyone knows, angels always break their human toys.
As an immortal, Raphael was one of the Cadre of Ten, archangels who ruled over their territories keeping angels and vampires in line in accordance with their laws. It was a contentious life as the Ten liked to indulge in power games and falling victim to the dreaded scourge was always a possibility. The little hunter intrigued Raphael as no one had in a very long time despite a warning that Elena would kill him unless he killed her first. As the object of the hunt began committing ever more gruesome acts in an escalating power play, Raphael and Elena find killing each other taking a back seat to tracking down the deadliest predator of all.
A refreshing twist on vampire and angel lore combined with sizzling sexual tension make this paranormal romance a winner. The action is intense, with a strong storyline, plenty of subplots adding sufficient depth and a capable heroine who is willing and able to take care of herself. Paranormal romance fans will be hard pressed to find a better read.
