She swore a blood oath to him last night. According to Dante, the Black Hand had prophesied it would be the sign of his death.Īnd they’re cool with Nora leading them? Scott pressed. The enchanted ring had sizzled like it had blue fire trapped under the crown. If Nora had murdered the Black Hand, she was in danger. It didn’t matter how carefully they’d covered their tracks. If Nora had done this- If Patch had helped her. Scott didn’t like the answer he kept going back to. The Black Hand was supposed to be immortal. So the Nephilim have accepted that the Black Hand is dead? Scott didn’t fully believe it himself. What happens at the meeting? I’ve never done this before, he added, hoping he didn’t sound as stupid as he felt. Scott could just make out the dark outline of Dante’s shoulders ahead. Scott wasn’t even sure an oath to a dead man held any weight.īut the hollow sounds behind him made him think it did. When it came to decent apologies, it didn’t make the cut, not really, but it was the best he could think of. Since he couldn’t say, Hey, man, sorry for getting you killed, in person, he’d defaulted to vowing to watch over Harrison’s daughter. Nobody knew he’d sworn an oath to Harrison Grey to protect Nora. Over his shoulder, he gave the darkness a long, distrustful look. He thought of graves.Īn icy current tickled the back of his neck. The fire from his torch cast skittish shadows on walls that smelled of cold, fresh earth. He didn’t want to be reminded of his role in a man’s murder. He didn’t like that his mind traveled to Harrison Grey. But the tunnels crisscrossing under Delphic Amusement Park, echoing with rustling, whispered sounds, made him rethink. there are a lot of open ends that could allow for more. Overall, I’m sad to say goodbye to the characters that I’ve grown to love. At times I had to put it down because her irrationality would upset me. Also, I had to keep reminding myself that Nora is 17, because this book depicts her as exceptionally more whiney and childish. The book has excellent twists, but moments seem rushed at the end. With how much time was spent on certain events for the first three quarters, you’d expect the last quarter of the novel to be more in depth-especially since lots of huge things happen. Without posting any spoilers, I will say that the ending to this book happens pretty quickly. Not an easy feat, but one that had to be done with the books. When I first started Hush, Hush, I wasn’t all that interested by the end of book one I was addicted and ended up reading the whole series over the weekend. Personally, I felt like this series was a “slow burn” type of reading.
