!! Tropes
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Heaven asks Jillian point-blank [[spoiler: "Was Tony the reason my mother ran from this house?"]] Finally being forced to acknowledge the truth [[spoiler: drives Jillian hopelessly insane and even--somehow--undoes years of plastic surgery to reveal her true age.]]
* DelicateAndSickly: Troy is an ill boy, having had many allergies and long illnesses as a child. While he is still legitimately ill with many chronic ailments, his childhood experiences left him something of a {{hypochondria}}c who believes that he is too sick to enjoy many activities and that he will die young. Heaven manages to talk him out of some of his hypochondria, though he does have some genuine health crises.
* HeelFaceTurn: Toward the end of ''Dark Angel,'' Luke Casteel straightens out his life, becomes a devoted husband, father, and provider for his new family, and feels enough remorse to attempt a reconciliation with Heaven. When she (justifiably) refuses to forgive him, he still helps her fulfill her dream of finding her Boston family.
* [[ImportantHaircut Important Dyejob]]: Having been told by everyone that she looks exactly like her mother except for her dark hair, Heaven dyes it her mother's shade of ash-blonde as a symbolic gesture of reclaiming her Tatterton heritage. [[spoiler: It ends tragically when her hair distracts her father Luke at a critical moment, leading to the death of her beloved brother Tom.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: ''Dark Angel'' reveals that [[spoiler:Tony is actually Heaven's real father, and in fact him raping and impregnating Leigh is what caused her to run away in the first place]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Jillian is in her 60s by the time ''Dark Angel'' starts off, but still looks absurdly young. When [[spoiler:she has her FreakOut near the end of the book she loses her youth and finally starts to look her age]].
