Archangel's Viper. 
 I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 5 Stars 
 Venom & Holly's (Sorrow) story has been much anticipated for many, many books... and it was well worth the wait. 
 Venom is one of the Archangel Rafael's Seven, but he's also one-of-a-kind. The vampire has attributes more closely related to a viper than the rest of his brethren. Quick as a snake, with sinuous movements, and a venomous bite, Venom has always emotionally kept himself apart from others. 
 Years ago, Holly was just a college student, dreaming of growing up to become a clothing designer while hanging out with her girlfriends. During Uram's rampage, Holly and her friends were snatched from the street and tortured, leaving something behind with Holly. Life freezing before her last growth spurt, suffering for years to come to terms with the 'monster' she feels Uram created, Holly was Sorrow. 
 In Archangel's Viper, Sorrow is in a better place, reclaiming not only her name, but her heritage and family. Holly is more even-keeled, living and working for the Tower, trying to carve out a semblance of a life while she deals with being 'not' truly human, but not truly a vampire, while also holding angelic DNA. 
 For books (years), Holly and Venom have had a mentor/student, antagonizers relationship. Readers anticipated their story, watching the interplay during previous books. Baiting. Push/pull. Silly nicknames. Sparring. Bloodshed. This is only ramped up during Archangel's Viper. 
 Venom hasn't been stationed at the Tower for a long time, engaging in only weekly calls with Holly. At the start of the novel, Venom comes home and the attraction & antagonism ratchets up many degrees. 
 There's a price on Holly's head, and she and Venom work together to not only figure out who is trying to kidnap her, but also for Holly to embrace who she truly is. 
 For the two venomous, one-of-a-kind creatures, the sexual tension is heavy, emotions run high, but the story still takes the forefront. Who is trying to kidnap Holly and why? What is Holly? Will Dimitri have to put Holly down like a rabid dog? 
 Archangel's Viper was a page-turner, where I read it in a single sitting, refusing to be torn from the story. Singh did an amazing job delivering on a story readers have been much anticipating, all the while seeding for future books. 
 Show of hands, who else is ravenous for Illium & Aodhan's story? Please, please, please, please, Ms. Singh, give us the BFFs story next. Please?! Please go there. Bluebell deserves to be with his best friend. Please?! 
 I highly recommend for Urban Fantasy fans (make sure to start at the beginning of the series with Angels' Blood)
