Silence

Fitzpatrick, B.  (2011).  Silence.  New York: Simon & Schuster


Wow, was I ready to read this book.  I began by reading Hush, Hush, a must read if you are going to begin this series.  The characters are starting to develop there.  Read them in order too, for you wouldn't want to know something happened but not why it happened.  There are many characters in books out there that you can dream about, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black from the Twilight series, Gale and Peeta from Hunger Games series and then there is Patch from this series.  Patch is in a word heavenly.  All angels usually are.  But his kind of heavenly is on the bad boy side.  What would you do with an angel for a boyfriend?

Nora Grey has awoken from a dream.  She can't place why she is in the cemetery or what happened to her before she came here.  Then she discovers that she can't place five months of her life.  She has amnesia.  No one has any idea where she was or who she was with. Nora was desperately trying to find something that she could wrap her head around. Then she meets Jev in a dark alley that she really shouldn't be in.  Jev is everything that she wants but thinks she can't have.  She starts to have flashbacks in her memory.  Jev is there in her mind.  Did she know him before?  She doesn't recognize the name.  She keeps recalling Patch, but who is or where is he?  Her friend Vee says that he was bad and she is glad he is gone.  Nora does remember and realizes that Jev is Patch.  He had to change his name to stay safe.  He needs her to keep his secret since the man who kidnapped her is also dating her mother.  She feels threatened.  Then she finds out that he is her father.  He gave her up when she was young to protect her, yeah right.  He wants something from her and she isn't willing to give it to him.

Patch saves her many times during the next few days, and then she finds out he has captured her father and has him tied up in his digs.  She claimed she wanted to do him in for killing her father, the only one she knew.  When it comes down to it, she can't.  Then sees that he has Patch's feather from his wing and is about to burn it up.  She doesn't hesitate, she shoots him dead.  Now she must guide his army and keep them from fighting with the angels.
