Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick | Review

Hush, Hush REVIEW

Summary and cover image was taken from Goodreads.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn 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 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 far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora 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 her life.

Cover love -- It's absolutely scrumptious! It's not misleading and it totally fits the storyline. I love how the feathers at the top turn from red to black. When I showed my mom the book with its jacket cover, she was like "Holy crap, what books are you reading these days?". Rating: 10/10

Hush, Hush is a fast-paced book with yummy romance, a good plot, and a sexy fallen angel. I saw HH at Sam's Club a while back and I thought, "Why not?" so I bought it at its discount price. I am so glad HH did not disappoint.

• Characters -- The characters were weird (in a good way) but enjoyable to read. Nora, a young woman who seems to be bipolar around Patch. Now I'm using "bipolar" loosely because one time, Nora (in a good mood) was like "Oh my gosh!! Patch looks so mysterious and sexy... " and the next time Patch is with Nora, Nora is unfortunately in a bad mood so poor Patch gets, "Fudge* off, Patch!" and the pattern repeats.... Happy Nora, Pissed Nora, Happy, Pissed. Nora is still fun to read; just... not that fun. Now Patch on the other hand, is a whole different story. He was 1000% sexy and 1000% mysterious, so it was fun to read about him, his humorous ways, and his past (which was vaguely explained). It was a little hard to get into the name, Patch, but it came through in the end! Now, Vee. I know she means well, but she's a bit of an idiot sometimes... Rating: 8.9/10

• Plot -- It was good with its twists here and there. It was completely unpredictable for me! I love how the author gave her readers bits of Patch's past because it just makes you want more! I just hope Becca explains more in detail about Patch's past in the second book, Crescendo! However, the plot was a bit too fast-paced for me, so I was confused at times. Rating: 9.4/10

• Writing -- The writing was good enough for me; descriptive (but not too descriptive) and no grammar mistakes. Rating: 10/10

• Ending -- HH wrapped up quite nicely. It leaves you with enough questions and answers and enough room for a second book. Rating: 10/10

The bottom line: Hush, Hush is a fantastic book you will not want to hush up about!
