Description:  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 (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, 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 feelings that he is hiding something.

If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts. (Taken from Goodreads.com)

My Review: I was so exciting about reading this book and getting more Nora/Patch action. I was so bummed with what happened in their relationship early on in the story. The introduction of Scott was interesting. Just as with the characters Fitzpatrick created in the first book, I couldn't immediately decide of Scott was good or bad. I love that! It is nice to read a book without knowing what is going to happen. I never saw the thing with Marcie's dad coming and Rixon...geez! Seriously...Fitzpatrick knows what she is doing. I loved this book just as much as I loved the first.

My Rating:  Amazing
