Guild Hunter Book 17: Archangel’s Ascension by Nalini Singh

 

Guild Hunter Book 17

Aodhan and Illium. Adi and Blue. Sparkle and Bluebell. Friends become lovers, their future a wild unknown.

Finally reunited in New York, they must now learn to navigate the monumental shift in their relationship. But for these two members of Archangel Raphael’s legendary Seven, there is no time to rest. As they investigate a case for the Tower that echoes the darkness from Aodhan’s past, they will be forced to confront not only the scars that mark them both, but the promise of a vast power that flickers in Illium.

The threat of ascension has haunted and troubled Aodhan’s Blue for too long, the forces of change immutable and without mercy...and uncaring of Illium’s fierce wish to remain part of the Seven. Change is a constant in an immortal’s life, and this new horizon will bring with it both terrible heartbreak and a joy extraordinary enough to reverberate through time…

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Aodhan and Illium are two of my absolute favorite characters from this series. When we got their first book I was thrilled and blown away by their story. But that story was just the beginning for them. And I wanted to know so much more about them and their relationship that was just starting out. We finally get some answers. Slipping between past and present, yes, like the title says ascension is here. Much later in the future, but arriving bit by bit. And in the meantime, we pick up where Aodhan and Illium left off in their first book and of course, have a bit of a mystery to solve. I won’t say much more beyond that because nothing about this story is something you want to get spoiled. I laughed and cried and my heart just ached for these two. I was so scared about how this story was going to go. But the more I read, the more I loved it. Never doubt this author and what she will do. She knows exactly what she is doing. Their story was absolutely beautiful and everything we could have wanted from these two. Conquering their final demons in their pursuit to be together after realizing what they truly mean to one another. To seeing a future bright and scary and great all at the same time. We get SO much from this story and I loved it even when it made me want to cry with joy and sadness. I’m glad to hear this isn’t the end of the series, but the way this story was told, there is just room for so much potential on how the stories are told from her out AND endless choices of who to follow next. I’m not ready to leave this world any time soon. Amazing, amazing job all around. The book hangover on this one is gonna be so real. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
