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.

Great sequel to Providence. Made me love the characters even more and so excited to spend more time with them in the next book. Can't wait to see what happens! ( )

Love this series! Nina and Jared's story is so much fun to read. Angels, demons, true love and prophecy. I want to be able to write like this:) ( )

What would you do if both Heaven and Hell were after you? That is exactly what Nina finds from the start of Requeim. While a life without Jared is obviously not possible; Nina is still trying to keep her grasp on a normal life. She will soon find that with extraordinary comes a price, and normality may just be debt due. The heart stopping romance that I have come to expect from McGuire is slightly witheld in this second novel. Understandably the storyline ties nicely, but it was a little disheartening to see the struggles and lack of devotion that was present the first book. I have high hopes that the third book with compensate for the dedication. On the otherhand, I was overjoyed to see several character transform throughout this novel. Ryan, first off was not my favorite person in books one, but after his display in Requiem I may just be one of his biggest fans. I love the development of his character, and was astounded with the military man persona that he took on these pages. Claire is another character that was difficult to fully enjoy throughout Providence. With her kick ass attitude is was easy to support her, but with her deep seeded resentment it was harder to actually enjoy her. By the end of the first book I could see there was more to her character than readers were able to grasp, but Requiem put her in the limelight, and displayed her character nicely. I am also a huge fan for her as well. I was estactic with the development of everyone, and can't wait to see where new development will take the series. McGuire swiftly moved this story along, and dedicated this novel to action rather than romance. Being a fan of the romance I was surprised at the talented see displays in effortlessly changing the direction of her story. Beware that bombs drop from the end of this novel. It will be a desperate wait for the next book. BOOKWHISPERER RECOMMENDED!!!
