Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick




Book Jacket: 
A SACRED OATH
A FALLEN ANGEL
A FORBIDDEN LOVE


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 that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

Blown away.
That's the best phrase I can think of at the moment.
Disclaimer: This book reminds me in some ways to Jamie McGuire's Providence, though HH came out in 2009 and Providence in 2010. However, HH is maybe more high school young adult, where I felt like Providence was more towards mature, early twenties young adults. So far, no sex or anything... not that I'm trying to give anything away for the Providence series...

Hush, Hush starts off literally sucking you in. Nora's easy to relate to; she's not your average damsel in distress- though she does find herself in some "iffy" situations. She's strong and fights rather than just caving, especially verbally against Patch.

Oh, Patch, you ask? He's this mystery guy that shows up in Nora's bio class like the first day and there is an example too, of how you don't have to wait foreverrrrr just to even meet the male lead. He's not your average paranormal hero; he's dark and dangerous, yes, but when he says sweet things, he's so smart @$$ that Nora can't or won't even take him seriously.

Basically you have romance, mystery, action, and really cute banter between the main characters, along with building questions being set into motion. I already knew I'd have to start Cresendo soon, just to know where this is all leading. Thank goodness I have from now until October to read books two and three before the Finale is out.

So take my lead- get started reading this one, and its sequels so we can all swoon for the Finale, adequately named Finale, in October.
