Archangel's Viper by Nalini Singh

We will start reading this book on January 20th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)


Description: Once a broken girl known as Sorrow, Holly Chang now prowls the shadowy gray underground of the city for the angels. But it's not her winged allies who make her a wanted woman--it's the unknown power coursing through her veins. Brutalized by an insane archangel, she was left with the bloodlust of a vampire, the ability to mesmerize her prey, and a poisonous bite.

Now, someone has put a bounty on her head...

Venom is one of the Seven, Archangel Raphael's private guard, and he's as infuriating as he is seductive. A centuries-old vampire, his fangs dispense a poison deadlier than Holly's. But even if Venom can protect Holly from those hunting her, he might not be able to save himself--because the strange, violent power inside Holly is awakening...

No one is safe.

EARN THIS BADGE FOR READING THIS BOOK!

Yaaay!

😊

Oooh, I love that this one is about Venom!

I was a *bit* disappointed that we didn't get to see more of a Bluebell and Sparkle bromance in the last book. Hopefully Venom makes up for that :)

Yes, I love the banter/tension between Venom and Holly. Holy Crap!(view spoiler)[Who put a bounty on Holly? (hide spoiler)] I wish something would happen with Bluebell and Sparkle.

Who is behind this? (view spoiler)[ Could it be Charisemnon, LiJuan or both? They worked together before to destroy Raphael and take his territory. This is happening @ the same time as the previous book. Maybe this is why they want Raphael flying off in search of LiJuan so they can try to take his city? (hide spoiler)]
Kenasha is so nasty!!! I hope his feathers all fall off. Daisy? What is in her blood?
Holly has some interesting abilities.

Holy Crap!!! What just happened?

This is so Not Good!!!!

Hehehe I take it, you've started reading this one.

(view spoiler)[What the Hell did Mikala do? Is that thing Uram or whatever he put inside of her? (hide spoiler)]

Just finished and loved it. There was some freaky stuff in this one but I enjoyed.

Hello I just posted in the other thread but in case you guys aren't getting those updates anymore, I wrote:

Yes, it is at the beginning Viper or Dimitri says Raphael and Elena are away at a Cadre meeting.

Yes! Have you started?"
Not yet!

Midu, Can't wait to hear what you think?

What the heck did Daisy do??

Sheri wrote: "What the heck did Daisy do??"

Exactly!!!!

Sheri, did you finish?

Leigh wrote: "Sheri, did you finish?"

Not yet...

Can't wait to see what you thought of it!

Leigh wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

This is what I'm listening to right now...what is it???

Finished. I love Venom. How and why he was made is so sad. Holly is good for him. (view spoiler)[Do you think Lijuan is like Urim? She was shot with angel fire...so maybe there's just some consciousness left to her? (hide spoiler)]

Sheri wrote: "Finished. I love Venom. How and why he was made is so sad. Holly is good for him. [spoilers removed]"

I agree with you. Venom didn't deserve how he was treated by his family. Yes, Holly is good for Venom. They balance each other out.

Sheri, here is your badge.

Guys, I sold a story to a magazine that is distributed on the planes by our national airline, PIA!!! Just 400 words long but it gets published in March :D

Thank you!!

So finally finished this one. I was glad to take a break from all the heavy archangel politics. Holly and Venom are a good match!

Midu, here is your badge.

So...does anyone else think the Legion is a little creepy?

They are creepy!
