Darker than its prequel, “Dark Angel” brings back the past of both Heaven and Leigh in an intense and twisted sequel. The plot follows the dysfunctional Miller family, who are portrayed as a wealthy. The movie was directed by Paul Shapiro and stars Jason Priestley, Annalise Basso, and Kelly Rutherford. Seeing Heaven grow more in the book and the contrast in social class, but the sinister similarities makes this a great read. 5.9 (110) Dark Angel is a dramatic thriller film adapted from the novel of the same name by V.C. Again, this book tackles abuse within the family home and how that shapes an individual, but this book actually weaves that in a harsh but compelling way throughout the plot. Candace Thaxton returns once again to narrate the audiobook version, her performance bringing great emotion to the story - the shift in Heaven’s accent was a clever acting choice, which shows her adapting to the middle-class environment and moving away from her country roots.
Leigh’s past is also slowly revealed as Heaven learns how deeply the abusive cycle goes in her family on both sides.
No longer a naive fearful child, Heaven is driven by ambitious and revenge, so much so that the reader sees a darker side to her. Heaven’s upbringing makes her tougher, but family secrets and the ghosts of her past continue to haunt her. As Heaven thrives academically and comes into her own, this book also shows her sexual awaking as she overcomes her past trauma. Picking up almost immediately from the events of the first book, “Dark Angel” brings Heaven into the wealthy household and lifestyle of her deceased mother’s family. Darker Than it’s Prequel, an Intense Sequel
