My
Thoughts:
Alexander and Zanaya, both archangel’s ruling over different
territories have had a tumultuous, epic, on-and-off love affair over the centuries.
However, the recent battle with the evil Archangel Lijuan, has had lasting repercussions
for Alexander and Zanaya. This time coming together they’re ready to sort
things out or part forever.
Archangel’s Resurrection gave us the history of both
Alexander and Zanaya, which I was grateful for since I didn’t really know much
about either, except peripherally as side characters in the Raphael/Elena
books. Each had an interesting, engrossing history and it gave me understanding
as to why these two would love so passionately and then ultimately end up
parting over and over through the years. I was rooting for these two because it
was clear they were meant to be together! I know this sounds angsty, but it really
wasn’t.
There’s a lot going on besides the romance. The Guild
Hunter series is a fascinating world where a Cadre of
ten Archangel’s rule designated territories across the Earth. Lesser angels,
vampires, and humans all under their authority. Power, political intrigue,
immortals and mortals clashing, good vs. evil; all factors that make these
books a riveting read, but it’s the personal relationships that make these
stories come to life.
Archangel’s Resurrection is book fifteen in the Guild
Hunter series and that does sound intimidating to a new-to-the-series reader, but
it’s centered on side characters and those books, IMO, can be read as stand-alones
for the most part. Alexander and Zanaya’s story was fleshed out well here, one
I thoroughly enjoyed!

Book Description:
For thousands of years, the passion between Alexander, Archangel of Persia, and Zanaya, Queen of the Nile, burned furious and bright, seemingly without end. But to be an archangel is to be bound to power violent and demanding. Driven by its primal energy, Alexander and Zanaya fought as fiercely as they loved.

But even a warrior archangel cannot win every war. Alexander’s scream shatters the world as Zanaya falls, broken and silent…only to rise again in a miracle that may be a devastating curse. For is it truly the Queen of the Nile who has been resurrected?
Only one thing is clear: this is the last beat of their passionate, angry dance. The final song for Alexander and his Zani…
