UNVEILED (Alex Crocker Seer #2) | RELEASE DATE: May 2013 PUBLISHER: Malachite Quills | GENRE: Urban Fantasy | ARTIST: Unknown With strength comes vulnerabilities. With love comes loss. With power comes pain. The world Alex now belongs to hinges on such balance. Her every step seems to be lurching her precariously closer to one wrong side or another.

I loved the characters, the complex world building and the tender but steamy romance. It’s obvious I just can’t go wrong with reading Nalini Singh Laura’s Take Slave to Sensation was recommended to me by Carolyn as a good holiday read, as Nalini Singh is one of her favourite authors.

Archangel’s Blade by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #4) Gollancz (Sept 2011) Paperback, 310 pages Paranormal Romance I adore Singh’s Guild Hunter series and I was really looking forward to reading Archangel’s Blade. When I first heard that it wouldn’t feature Raphael and Elena as the main characters but focus instead on Raphael’s second in command, I will admit I was a little worried. Unfortunately, although I enjoyed the book, I did miss Raphael and Elena. I missed them a lot. I liked Dmitri but he didn’t make me swoon or capture…
Visions of Heat (Psy-Changeling #2) by Nalini Singh | Gollancz (April 2010) Paperback, 332 pages | Paranormal Romance Visions of Heat is the second book in Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. I loved the first book Slave to Sensation and although I very much enjoyed this instalment I found I didn’t like the heroine, Faith, as much as Sacha from the previous book. Faith seems a bit too weak, although she does try to be strong, and a little too cold. However, the hero, Vaughn, is deliciously dark and brooding. Faith NightStar is…
Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh | Gollancz (March 2010) Paperback: 334 pages | Paranormal Romance Slave to Sensation is the first book in Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. I was very much looking forward to starting this series, although I will admit I was a little cautious, worrying if it would meet my expectations having read and absolutely loved her ‘Guild Hunter’ series. Of course there was really no need for any apprehension. I was hooked from the first page. Singh’s vibrant writing shines and I was so happy to be…
‘Cover Crush’ is a regular feature here at BCC. I love covers – they’re the first thing that catches my eye and will be the primary reason I pick up a book. This feature is where I highlight gorgeous covers of books I’ve seen either around the blogosphere or at the bookshop. These posts run sporadically, as soon as I see a cover I love, I post it! I ADORE the ‘Guild Hunter‘ series by Nalini Singh, and I love all the US cover *except for ‘Archangel’s Blade’ – I…
Archangel’s Consort (Guild Hunter #3) by Nalini Singh | Gollancz (Feb 2011) Paperback, 324 pages | Paranormal Romance Archangel’s Consort is the third instalment in the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh. I adored the first two books and fell instantly in love with Elena and Raphael. Although I did enjoy this book, it just didn’t measure up to the first two. In fact it felt a bit formulaic; the intense romance, vampire murders, which Elena has to solve by using her tracking ability and lots of hot passionate sex –…
Archangel’s Kiss (Guild Hunter #2) by Nalini Singh Gollancz (March 2010) | Paperback, 323 pages Paranormal Romance Archangel’s Kiss is the second book in the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh, and after absolutely loving the first book in the series, Angels’ Blood, this one had a lot to live up to. I’m happy to say it didn’t disappoint. I loved it. The prose is just as lush as the first book, Elena and Raphael are still fantastic characters and the world-building just as vivid. However, I did feel as though the…
Angels’ Blood (Guild Hunter #1) by Nalini Singh Gollancz (Feb 2010 | Paperback, 339 pages Paranormal Romance Wow! This book is amazing. Angels’ Blood had me enthralled from the first page – I loved it! It fits into the paranormal romance genre as well as the urban fantasy genre very well, as there are strong elements of both. It’s dark and edgy, and so atmospheric. The main character is Elena, a Vampire Hunter for the Guild. Her ability is to track vampires by their scent. Angel’s Make vampires and the contract states they cannot…
