Synopsis
The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever.

Thoughts: Nora has lost about 3 months of her life. She awakes in a cemetery to find that she doesn't know where she was or who is responsible for disappearance but is determined to remember no matter what. Her mother have been frantic and lost without her daughter has begun dating, Hank Miller, the father of her nemesis. Confused and furious, she tries her best to be the good daughter but no way is Hank going to hurt her mother, she knows something is right with him and she wants answers. Just where will she start to get them? So good. At first, I felt bogged down by Nora's amnesia because she had to be re-enlightened of the Angel and Nephilim world all over again. Nora tries to fight the fog in her mind but ole Hank will not let her be. Completely shocking ending, wow!

This book translates well to audio and I think it is an appropriate format for this work. The narrator does a great job of voicing the characters by alternating her tone and inflection to show the difference between male and female characters. The sound quality is clean and crisp; I could clearly hear and understand everything that was being said by the narrator without the distraction of background noise. Overall, great production and I look forward to listening to the grand Finale!
