Requiem - Providence #2 - Jamie McGuire
Sum Up: (Goodreads)
Dreaming of the dead might mean a restless night for anyone, but for
Nina Grey it was a warning.
Still healing from her last run-in with Hell, Nina
struggles with not only her life as a Brown University student, but also as an
intern at Titan Shipping, her father's company. Recurring nightmares about her
father's violent death have become a nightly event, but being overwhelmed with
guilt from Ryan's unexpected departure to the Armed Forces, and heart ache over
Claire being across the ocean to protect him, Nina believes her sleepless
nights are the least of her problems—but she's wrong.
Worried about Nina's declining health, Jared must
steal back Shax's book for answers. Fighting new enemies, and with the help of
new friends, Jared's worst fear comes to fruition. Desperate, he is faced with
a choice: Fight Hell alone, or start a war with Heaven.
Plot:
And here we are, back with our favorite YA couple! It starts almost right
after the end of the first book and unfortunately, it looks like Jared and Nina
do not have time to catch a breath. Nina is now an intern in her own company
where she is also CEO, she has classes and she also needs to understand what
lies behind her nightmares. Yes, you are right! Every night Nina has been
having quite some awful nightmares where Gabe and Jack steal Shax’s book. They
keep saying that it is to save Nina. The ending is always the same: Jack dies
in the most awful way: torn apart by demons.
Time passes and the nightmares gain in intensity. Jared needs to find a solution very quickly. Thus, he stops
at nothing to try to take back Shax’s book to find out which prophecy concerns
Nina and how he can help her. With Kim’s help (yes, she is actually not really human), they will stop at nothing to get this book and bring it back to
Jerusalem where it will remain unreachable for Shax and at the same time, read it
to understand what the new threat is.
But the mission is getting harder and harder when Heaven won’t step up
and they will cross paths of other guardian angels from the bad side (yes, there
are also guardian angels for bad guys. Unfair, right?). If they kill one of
them, they may face a war with Heaven. Do you get the picture?
So between flats burning down, nightmares going on and on, friends who
reveal themselves… It is quite tough to remain sane. Oh! And there is a little
cliffhanger at the end that makes us want to read the third book straight!
