Elena Deveraux is a vampire hunter that works for The Guild. She is hunter-born, and was born with abilities that help track down vampires. Her specific ability is being able to track vampires by scent, even those newly turned. I should mention that her job isn’t to kill vampires, it’s to locate and bring them back to the angels they belong to. This definitely isn’t the easiest job to do, yet Elena excels in it. I enjoyed reading her character, she’s a strong woman and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.

Raphael is an archangel that is both beautiful yet deadly. He rules with an iron fist, and I was slightly worried for Elena when she was hired to track down an archangel on a killing rampage. Only another archangel can kill one of their kind, so I had my doubts that Elena would walk out of this book unscathed, even though there are several books in the series. Raphael is pure alpha male in angel form. In between all the tracking, Elena and Raphael are slowly building more and more tension. I was curious to see if this would be a relationship, or if it would eventually lead to one later in the series.

I’m usually not a big fan of angel books, but I knew I had to try this out and step a bit out of my comfort zone. I’m so glad I did, this book exceeded my expectations and the world building is excellent. It reminds me a bit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Elena is born with the ability to hunt vampires and is a pro at her job. I recommend this book for anyone that enjoys Urban Fantasy with a touch of Paranormal Romance.

Justine Eyre, the narrator for Angels’ Blood was a step out of my comfort zone. I’ve only listened to one series specifically via audiobooks so I hadn’t experienced any other narrator. She was easy to listen to and I was able to stay focused which has been an issue I’ve had in the past. The male characters’s voices were executed nicely, I could differentiate the characters without wondering who was speaking. There is a character or two that has an accent, and I didn’t notice any issues with the accent slipping or it sounding odd to me. I’m a new fan of Justine Eyre’s narration, and will be listening to more of her work in the near future.
