I mean... I keep relistening to this book. It's probably my third time by now. The Guild Hunter world is fascinating. It's so interesting to have angels, vampires, and vampire hunters have the kind of connections that they do in this world.
The first book does a good job in introducing the world and the characters, and shows us the dynamics between immortals and mortals. Elena and Raphael are an awesome pair. It's fun to go back to the beginning to the series after knowing what they're like together later on in the series.
The plot was creepy. There are a few side plots woven through this, and it makes you keep wanting to read to find out what Elena will face next.

So much attention to “maleness”. So many ripped our hearts. So much weird, consent breaking telepathic intrusions and threats of bodily harm. Paranormal romance of the early 2000s hits different and I mean this in both the best and worst ways possible.
