Hush Hush


Hush Hush
Becca Fitzpatrick
2009

BOOK COVER: Romance was not part of Nora Grey’s plan. She’s never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can’t decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those who have fallen—and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

THOUGHTS: I don’t want to say this could be the next Twilight, but it could be. It was not as gripping from the first at the Twilight series, but it got you so into it that you couldn’t stop. I couldn’t figure out who she was supposed to like until the end and the bad guy was still a shock.

THE END: Loved it! You can tell she is going to write another one and probably make a series out of it, but this book still has a conclusion. I hate when books don’t end. So what if they are going to be a series. I need closure! This book is a little dark since it is about fallen angels, but they aren’t fallen like followed Satan. They either did something bad or chose to fall to be on earth. It is more than obvious that the author is not LDS, but the book is still good even with the darkness. I finished reading it at about 11:30 at night and I wasn’t scared (too much). If you thought Twilight was dark then you won’t like Hush Hush. Oh, and I still haven’t figured out what the title has to do with the book. That is the real mystery.
