The Archangel of Death and the Archangel of Disease may be gone but their legacy of evil lives on—especially in Africa, where the shambling, rotting creatures called the reborn have gained a glimmer of vicious intelligence.
It is up to Titus, archangel of this vast continent, to stop the reborn from spreading across the world. Titus can’t do it alone, but of the surviving powerful angels and archangels, large numbers are wounded, while the rest are fighting a surge of murderous vampires.
There is no one left . . . but the Hummingbird. Old, powerful, her mind long a broken kaleidoscope. Now, she must stand at Titus’s side against a tide of death upon a discovery more chilling than any other. For the Archangel of Disease has left them one last terrible gift . . . .
Everything you want in Paranormal Romance…
Archangel’s Sun by Nalini Singh is book 13 in her Guild Hunter series. After the decimating war against the Archangel of Death and the Archangel of Disease, the remaining heavenly hosts and their vampire allies are struggling to rebuild and heal the nations only to realize that a much deadlier scourge is growing in the heart of the African territory controlled by the Archangel Titus. 
Skilled yet brusque, Titus is stretched thin in his effort to clear and secure the combat zones. When he is told he is being sent assistance in the form of Sharine, better known as The Hummingbird, an ancient and enigmatic gift to the angelic world, he is less than thrilled at the prospect of a fragile and broken angel under his protection. Little does he realize that even though Sharine has spent years healing from her fractured mind, she is anything but fragile and broken, and will be the one to complete him and help restore their broken world.
Nalini Singh is a master craftsperson when it comes to the creation and construction of stories that check every box in a list of what makes a great book. The premise of her tales are always interesting; with a compelling plot and fascinating characters that defy stereotypes because of her beautiful style of writing. She is a wordsmith who paints vivid pictures that capture your imagination and who creates authentic dynamics between characters that engage your emotions as their relationships develop. Even paranormal angelic beings take on a human like quality under Nalini’s penmanship.
While Archangel’s Sun is part of a series it can easily be read as a stand alone. This is the first novel in The Guild Hunter series that I have read and I had no problem piecing together the events leading up to it. Even though there is a continuation of the global dynamics, the story of Titus and Sharine is unique to this book and is introduced and built accordingly. I have had the pleasure of reading Nalini’s contemporary fiction works and am a big fan. I believe it says something about an author who can write great stories across multiple genres (you need to read all of her books!!). I am definitely intrigued by The Guild Hunter series and plan on going back and reading the rest of the books.
Tanya’s love for books has been a lifelong passion that she likes sharing with others. Reading is also the thing that relaxes her after a day of juggling the many responsibilities that come with being being wife to an amazing man, mother to four great kids spread around the world, business manager, and farm hand on their place in southwest Missouri; home to Akaushi cattle and a menagerie of pygmy goats, horses, chickens, dogs and cats.
