Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever and even worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, Marcie Millar.

Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something.

Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

When I first started reading this book, I knew it would be a great one. I loved the first book "Hush, Hush", so I had high expectations for this book. So I am glad to say that it was even better than I expected.

If you have read my Hush, Hush review, you would already know how much I love Nora. Her characteristic in my opinion, is very cool. I like how even though she's a girl, she always wants to find things out. In this book, her passion to roaming around and discovering never lessened.

Unfortunately, in this book, Patch was kind of annoying. Something happened that made him act all weird and untrusting. Because of this, conflicts rose between Patch and Nora, which made reading the book exciting and heart breaking. 

Now off to the adventures in this book. It was a-ma-zing. I couldn't put the book down. Every page is filled with eager excitement and suspense that gets you hooked. Every chapter reveals more and more secrets, resulting in me never putting the book down. 

Overall, I prefer this book rather than Hush,Hush because it was just thrilling to read. It was such a fun read, and I felt like I was actually in the story myself. If you haven't read it, you definitely should because you're missing out on something amazing.

Such an addicting tune, need more!!
