Guild Hunter Book Two (Always a Fave Book)

I finished rereading ‘Archangel’s Kiss’ by Nalini Singh, the second book in the Guild Hunter series, for the fourth time, and I wish I could give it more than five stars because it deserves it.

This is a series I will always reread because the characters and world Nalini created are among my favorites. If you haven’t read this series, what are you waiting for? The last book comes out in May 2026, and you won’t want to miss the epic conclusion to the Guild Hunter series.

Here is one reader who will have tissues on hand when I read the last book because I’m going to miss the characters of this series. They have become like family.

Read my full review of this book on my blog, Goodreads, StoryGraph, and Fable. Links are in my bio.

POV: Third Person (Dual POV)

What to Expect from Archangel’s Kiss:

✔️PNR/Urban Fantasy

✔️Archangel Politics & Rivalries

✔️Forbidden Love

✔️Alpha Hero & Kickbutt Heroine

✔️Found Family

3/10 Edited to

... Read moreHaving re-read ‘Archangel’s Kiss’ multiple times, I can confidently say that Nalini Singh’s world-building and character development stand out remarkably in the urban fantasy genre. The blend of archangel politics and power struggles offers a unique layer of depth, making the conflicts not just physical but also political and emotional. What I particularly enjoy about this book is the dual POV narration, which gives readers an intimate look into both the alpha hero and the strong heroine’s perspectives. This narrative style enriches the story, revealing their motivations and vulnerabilities. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, especially with the way Singh crafts their forbidden love — intense yet tender. Another highlight is the underlying theme of found family. It’s touching how the characters support and protect each other, creating bonds that feel as real as any in contemporary fiction. This adds a warmth and relatability to the often dark and thrilling urban fantasy setting. The memorable quotes from the book perfectly capture the passionate and sometimes dangerous nature of the heroes and heroines. For example, lines like “She held his heart, held it so utterly...” reflect the deep emotional stakes that make this series so addictive. Fans of paranormal romance and urban fantasy looking for a series that combines action, emotional depth, and complex relationships will find the Guild Hunter series highly rewarding. I recommend readers have tissues ready for the final book, set to release in May 2026, which promises an epic and emotional conclusion. If you enjoy stories that explore power imbalances, loyalty, and sacrifice, ‘Archangel’s Kiss’ is a must-read.
