Synopsis

The sequel to the New York Times Best selling phenomenon, Hush, Hush!

Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

My thoughts: 

Rixon is evil. I know Vee thinks she's in love with this man, but something about him told me he was wicked and now i know!

Marcie is a luny. She has lived a privileged life and still acts like a cow. And she thinks Patch is all her.. Well girl you got another thing coming.

Vee reminds me of my best friend who always comes to bail you out, when you need her most too. 

Patch is amazing. If I could have any guardian angel I want I would choose him....really. 

All this business with the Black Hand gives me chills and I don't think we've heard the last of it yet. Especially considering it has to do with Macie and Nora's dad.

Patch my dear boy...goes ROgue to be with Nora how romantic. But who knows what will happen now that he is fighting with Nora's dad I hope he gets away.....
