by
Becca Fitzpatrick (Goodreads Author)
Will love conquer all?
Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

ETA: My feelings on the cover.

Seriously though - stiff posing, random shirtlessness, and I'm pretty sure the wind is blowing her hair one direction (back, away from the viewer) and her dress another (to the right)... and is she trying to throw herself into the ocean?Patch why are you preventing this? stop getting in the way!

Seriously, Fitzpatrick?! Seriously?!

I just.....I just can't understand! First Adornetto, then Kate, and now you not only once with your freaking graphic novel, but twice?!

See, you're even making Dean (my dearest Mocha's husband) cry. This madness has to end!
All of the authors I've mentioned so far are not doing this to advance the story, in any way, shape, or form. Hell, all of these series could have been done in half the amount that there are currently; all of these authors are doing...more

HAHA -- the cover models look like R-Patz (with Bruno Mars hair) and K-Stew (with a bit of a 'fro going).
How fitting.
Finale. Really. What an anticlimactic title.
C'mon, guys. Really. We all know Becca could've summarized the three things that happened in SILENCE in the beginning of this book and kept it a trilogy. Things would've worked much better that way.
F#@!. Really? She really can't stop at number 3? I seriously doubt I'm going to read this. She really couldn't finish in Silence?

My book blog: http://yumyabooks.blogspot.com
My Summary: This is the fourth and final book in the bestselling Hush, Hush series. In the previous book, Silence, Nora swore an oath that if Hank Miller (aka The Black Hand and her dad) died, she'd take his place as leader of the Nephilim race. And, naturally, he died so she became the leader. So in Finale Nora is to lead the Nephilim army to war against the fallen angels, which also means against Patch (aka fallen angel and love of her life).

It was a pretty damn awesome end, but I did have a few issues with certain plot points, though.
The last book of the Hush Hush series, so many wonderful memories, so many unforgettable scenes, so many tears, laughs, and shocks...I will never forget this series for all it was worth. My journey with this series was one I enjoyed very much and I hoped would last forever, but alas, all good things have to come to an end....but at least Becca Fitzpatrick knew how to make a lasting impression with her fourth and final book. It was the perfect ending! I was completely hooked on every single word...more

After reading Silence there is a lot still open but I thought that was the last book. I can always use some more Patch and Scott though.

Oh, god.
Okay, so, Hush Hush is kind of quiet.
Crescendo is really loud.
Silence is....silent.
SO WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY CALL THIS? Semi-Sorta-Loud-Stormy-Angsty-Silence?
And by the way...OH, SO NOW IT'S A SAGA? It started with the Twilight saga. And now the Fallen saga. Then the Beautiful Creatures saga. And now...
I can just picture B-Fitz's conversation with her publisher.

All I see is people bitching about this book. I have a simple solution: DON'T READ IT IF YOU'RE THAT UPSET OVER THERE BEING A FOURTH BOOK.
I would have been pissed if she ended Silence the way she did without there being this book to tie things up. I don't know how people would have been satisfied with that ending.
But it seems a lot of people hate the series and keep reading. That makes no sense to begin with...

Do you ever hold a grudge against someone who has been dead for a little over thirty years? If you haven't, then you probably won't understand anything that you are about to read. Yeah, sorry about that.
The person I hold the grudge against is a person no other than J.R.R. Tolkien. I have just finished The Lord of the Rings, and it was quite wonderful. However, now that I'm finished, this was my only thing to read. It almost made my eyes bl...more

I haven't yet read the third, but I'm kind of hoping Patch has already drowned Nora in the ocean at this point (otherwise the cover has lied to me).
In that case, since this does not yet have a title, this book should be called 'Sunk'. You know, after Nora's ass.
UPDATE 27/4/12
So the summary is out.
"Nora is more certain than ever that she is in love with Patch. Fallen angel or no, he is the one for her. Her heritage and destiny may mean that they will always be enemies, but there is no turning he...more

*sighs* What a journey.
The first time I read Hush, Hush back a couple years ago, I fell in love with it. Over the years, we've had our ups and downs, but I can honestly say that this series is my favorite paranormal romance out of all. It may not be the best, but I loved it. And to see it end really saddens me.

You know what? This is a really amazing series. Everything about it is enticing and intense. I find myself pushing these books to the top of my "to read next" pile, and when I open them up to read at night, I can't seem to stop thinking I'll just read for another half hour...
So when I was checking out the Goodreads page for Silence and under the "Books by Becca Fitzpatrick" thing, I saw FINALE(HUSH, HUSH #4) I think I probably started screaming my head off with joy.

Who knew there would be a fourth book? Definitely not me! But I am certainly not complaining. I am addicted to this series! It is like my own personal drug. This author is amazing and I love every minute of her books from start to finish. 2012 is waaay to far away. I want to find out what happens now . PLEASE let it be released early! I want need this book, so hurry up and come out already because I am going through withdrawal symptoms!
Amazing!!!! Can't wait to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Fitz is making a fourth book. I have to say her decision doesn't bother me that much - I'm not a huge fan of her books really... Actually I'm pretty sure I've enjoyed reading other people's reviews more than I'll enjoy reading this, because some of them are just freaking hilarious!

And now we even got people rating it one star when they haven't even read it yet? Ya that's fucking mature *rolls eyes* Just the stupidity of some people these days..I weep for humanity.
Its just sad that's its not even out until later this year and people are already starting a freaking war over this book. Is it really worth it??
