Archangel Viper A Guild Hunter Novel Nalini Singh 9780451488244 Books

I've always been intrigued by Venom, so of course I devoured his story. It was fast paced, full of action, drama, and some angst. There wasn't as much romance between the two lead characters as I'd have preferred (didn't have much romance feel until the halfway mark).

I liked and admired Holly's strength. I liked having seen her grow into her new self. I really loved her witty comebacks and feistiness when dealing with Venom.

Venom has always been a bit of a mystery. He's sexy, controlled, witty, yet we also learn some new sides to him in this story. He ended having some serious swoon-worthy moments in this book and some moments that break your heart.

So happy to have read this book! It was a really good addition to the series and I can't wait to see what Nalini brings us next!

Archangel Viper A Guild Hunter Novel Nalini Singh 9780451488244 Books Reviews

I had been looking forward to this story for awhile. Holly had such potential as a character struggling to fight her demons. And Venom was the perfect foil for her anger and rage. Yet... this. This wasn’t anything. This was... boring. I kept waiting for the moment that I would care, but I just didn’t. The storyline was lazy and didn’t make sense and the chemistry between Venom and Holly was childish, at best. The trading insults got old after the first 5 chapters. I was hoping they could mature and move past that into something more. And then suddenly... love! Whoa! It didn’t even make sense how fast this relationship changed. And I just didn’t care. This book needed a good editor - many of the sentences were a disaster, completely throwing out the good storytelling mantra - show, don’t tell. The repetition and fragmented sentences made it hard to figure out, or care, what exactly was suppose to be happening. Venom’s backstory was almost told as an afterthought. We got this hint at the first about his Making and then it was like - “Oh, hey, I better make that beginning fit with the rest of the story. Here you go Readers.” I was sad that Venom and Holly got this lazy story. Authors are people and they don’t always hit a home run. I get that. But I also want to read a series where I watch the Author grow in her craft, try new things, and, in the case of this series, give us new insights into the world building. Here I felt Holly’s “job” was just added so that she would have something to contribute to the whole rest of the story, but it wasn’t really something that added to Holly as a person in the story. I felt Holly and Venom just happened. There wasn’t an active engagement in telling their story. It was just a bunch of cliche ideas loosely bound together into a book. I hope that Ms. Singh will make a better effort with the rest of the Seven. And please, don’t give us a MM romance.
I held out as long as I could, but I finally had to give in and read this one! Venom is probably my favorite of Raphael's Seven so when I heard that Nalini Singh had finally decided to write Venom's book, to say I was excited it putting it mildly.

Of course, there's always the trepidation of whether or not it will live up to expectations and I have to say, for me, YES it absolutely does.

The pairing of Holly (aka Sorrow) and Venom seems like such a natural choice honestly, although it wasn't one that I immediately figured on. Not until maybe a few books ago in the series where we learned that Venom had been working with Sorrow to hone the skills she developed since being attacked and changed by the archangel Uram.

In Archangel's Viper we see Holly still dealing with the aftermath of her attack and what it did to her mentally / emotionally, but moreso here in what it's doing to her physically. She's recently made the decision that she wants to live. That no matter what life has thrown at her at this point, she wants to try to move forward. This is a far cry from what we previously glimpsed of Holly the last time she popped up in the series (I wish I knew which book that was off the top of my head, alas, I don't). Now, however, we see that, besides changing Holly into a vampire, she's now starting to exhibit strange qualities which are most akin to Venom's abilities (although still unique unto Holly). When it seems like someone has put a bounty on Holly's head in order to acquire her uniqueness, she and Venom start a search for the mysterious person. This search, however, only leads us into an even bigger mystery that stems from that fateful day four years ago when an archangel went mad.

For his part, Venom has always been the cool and collected member of the Seven. He's at ease with the group that he has chosen to call his family, but that doesn't mean he's always felt like part of the group. His Making certainly set him apart from the vampire community, and he sees a lot of what he went through in his younger years when he sees what Holly is going through now. He sees someone who might be able to understand him. I loved the "new" we got to see in Venom's character. I loved that we get to delve into his past. I feel like there's always been this cloaking of mysteriousness around him (and around all the Seven honestly until they get their own books), and learning about his past was interesting and did a lot to make me love his character even more.

I loved Venom and Holly together from the first page to the last. Their relationship didn't start out as this hidden lust. It starts out kind of antagonistic (although I wouldn't really classify this as an enemies to lovers story). They love to push each other's buttons. The repartee they exchange throughout is fantastic. Holly definitely doesn't let Venom get the better of her often. I loved seeing how their feelings for each other slowly developed throughout the story. I didn't feel theirs was a scorching hot romance, instead it builds upon this base understanding of each other. I thought it was great, seeing the realization as each of them - at separate times - figures out that they care more for the other than simple friendship.

I really enjoyed that Archangel's Viper dealt with quite a few topics that have been kind of hanging out unanswered in this series since the first book. I feel like this story was a long time coming with all the pieces falling into place. The mystery of what is happening to Holly is intriguing and I thought satisfying in its conclusion.

I don't think I've ever been disappointed in anything that Nalini Singh has written and we can now add Archangel's Viper this list as well. A fitting story for my favorite of the Seven.
