STILL CATCHING UP!!!!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Every week you are to share the books you received that week. It could either be ones you bought, or gotten at the library, and ones that you'd receive to review on the blog. I am calling it 'In My Bookbag' because I am always taking books out of the library!

Catching up...

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 hadnt 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.

So this one is just as good as the first one, maybe better. The only thing that I HATED was (spoiler) that Patch wasn't in it as much! UGGH!!!! But other than that it was good. Fitzpatrick threw in a new character that I think will play a HUGE role in the next books. I was reading this and my choir class was at festival... we're supposed to be quiet in the audience. Well I was reading it in the audience and I was at the climax of the story... I was biting my sleeve because I had to stay quiet. I recommend this book!

Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush #1)...

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along.
With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment, but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

I don't know how many people told me not to read this... and as usual I ignored them! Well, most of the time I find that I'm glad that I did. This time was no different. I fell in love with Patch and I even like Nora (which is strange because I'm really picky when it comes to the female characters)! Patch is strange a very elusive so you're always guessing when it comes to him. His past is all kinds of messed and his intent is always questionable so, of course I fell for him just as hard as Nora.
