Series: Hush, Hush
This is the third book in this series. It starts out with Patch talking with Hank
Millar who is also known as “the Fist of Justice, Iron Fist, and most famously,
the Black Hand.” After this meeting,
Nora mysteriously ends up in a cemetery after being missing for three
months. She doesn’t remember anything
about being kidnapped or what happened to her during that three months. Now that Nora has lost her memories of Patch,
he has vowed not to get mixed up in her life to keep her safe. That doesn’t work so well.
Nora is sure that there is more to the story of Patch and
her kidnapping than what her mother and her best friend Vee are telling
her. Actually, they aren’t really
telling her anything that would help her piece together her missing
memories. After finding out her mother
is dating Hank Millar, who has divorced since Nora went missing, she takes off
to find some solitude. What she finds
instead is Scott Parnell. He answers
some questions that she desperately wants answers to. These answers only lead to more questions
which Scott is in need of help finding the answers to.
Being the third book in this series, I am not
disappointed. I was kind of leery about
how this book would turn out because there have been other series that I read
where I was disappointed in the later books.
This book is full of excitement. Having read the first two books, helps you to
understand the back story, but it is not necessary to understand what is
happening in this book. I was happy to
hear that there will indeed be a fourth book as this book did not give you the
closure like a last book in a series should.
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.
•Even though Patch has good intentions of leaving Nora alone after
she loses her memory, that doesn’t happen.
•That Nora’s mom and Vee try to protect her by not telling her the
whole truth.
•Scott Parnell. He gives
Nora some of the answers that she is looking for.
•Having the version with Patch's view in it. It tells the story of when Patch and Nora first met through his eyes. You get to see some old characters like Rixon in this story. I don't really remember the setting where they met, but it was interesting to read his thoughts.
•Hank Millar. He is tricky,
deceitful and uses people to get what he wants.
•Marcie Millar. She has
long been Nora’s rival. In this book,
she doesn’t have the total picture and does things for what seem to her to be
appropriate reasons, but are actually not.
You kinda feel bad for her in this book because she is used by her
father too.
