Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
Available on October 19, 2010
Nora should have known 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?
As I've mentioned yesterday, the prologue and first chapter of the book are up for grabs, and you can get the download link at DaisyChainBookReviews.
I just got done reading the prologue and the first chapter, and I'm rather excited about where it's all going. I think Nora going after her father's death will reveal a great deal about her Nephilim line and how Patch found her. Honestly, I'm more interested in how the hell Patch found her, so I'm hoping, judging from the prologue, that we will find out.
I feel like this book is going to be worth waiting for.
I think it'll be really good too!
ReplyDeleteOK ~ spoiler to those who haven't read it!!!
In the prologue I thought for a second that Patch killed Nora's dad. The description fits, but it couldn't be him, right? It would be a delicious dark twist, but maybe too dark for YA. I dunno...
I'm still waiting for my copy from the first book to arrive! But I love this cover. :)
