《暗夜天使第2集》

諾拉知道自己的人生離完美還差得遠。除了她和她的守護天使──派奇（這傢伙除了頭銜是天使，其他的沒有一點像是天使）開始了一段戀曲，還從一次謀殺行動中倖存之外，事情似乎不是往好方向發展的。派奇變得刻意與她保持距離，還接近她的宿敵瑪西．米拉。諾拉並不清楚，派奇這樣做是為了要她嫉妒、要她愛得發狂？還是他單純只是換了個女孩來「守護」？更別提諾拉飽受幻覺所苦，總是看見她的父親遭到攻擊的影像。她一定得搞清楚，父親在那一晚前往波特蘭，卻至今未歸，究竟發生了什麼事？

隨著諾拉挖掘出更多父親死亡的真相，她漸漸懷疑自己身上所流的尼菲爾人血脈，就是讓她身陷危險的原因。只是，沒想到派奇居然不願意為她解惑，甚至還想從中阻撓，於是諾拉只能靠自己了。然而身為她的守護天使，派奇卻一再讓她處於危險之中，諾拉究竟該不該繼續相信他？還是派奇其實有著更多深沉且黑暗的祕密呢？

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?
