I'll admit. I got this for the cover. Come on, it is pretty breath-takingly gorgeous.

I know, I'm a horrible person. However, the writing and the story were just as beautiful as the cover.

While there do seem to be a few similarities to Twilight, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. Nora's your average teen girl, with one best friend named Vee. Her world comes tumbling down when bad boy Patch comes to town, and Nora's stuck being his lab partner.

The sexual tension between Patch and Nora was prac ...more

Something, or someone, dark and sinister is lurking in the shadows. Watching Nora and waiting. But waiting for what?

Nora Grey, a responsible high school student who recently lost her father in a brutal murder, has her hands full with fallen angels, a haunting presence, a threatening man in a ski mask, and more than one boy interested in her romantically. Hush, Hush was a wonderfully exciting paranormal read full of suspense, danger, and romance.

I would recommend to Hush, Hush to readers of paran ...more

First off, I have to say, I stayed up last night until around 2:20 AM finishing this book...at the beginning of every chapter I would say to myself, “just ONE more chapter, then you MUST go to sleep.” Yeah, for all the good that did. I just could NOT put it down, if that tells you anything.

Secondly, I heard a lot about this book, everything I seemed to read and/or hear, was that this book was a “must read,” a great book! As such, I was a bit worried, I have read several books that I heard were “ First off, I have to say, I stayed up last night until around 2:20 AM finishing this book...at the beginning of every chapter I would say to myself, “just ONE more chapter, then you MUST go to sleep.” Yeah, for all the good that did.

Secondly, I heard a lot about this book, everything I seemed to read and/or hear, was that this book was a “must read,” a great book! As such, I was a bit worried, I have read several books that I heard were “excellent” only to be a bit, if not totally disappointed. Thankfully Hush, Hush lived up to the hype with it's amazing characters as well as it's unique plot.

The book does start off rather slow, when Nora, a good girl, who always does the right thing, is paired up with Patch as her Biology partner of all things. Patch is an over confident, cocky, sorta fellow – whom you either love or love to hate! (This sorta reminded me of another love story, I LOVED, though not excessively so.)

Patch seems to be everywhere that Nora is, is he stalking her? Things keep happening to Nora, is Patch the one doing them? Or is it the “elusive” Jules or the “trying to hard” Elliot?

Nora's best friend Vee, as well as the school therapist are both telling her that Patch is the one that's bad news. Both of them telling her she needs to steer clear, that Patch has a history and it's not a good one. Of course Nora, being Nora – MUST find out for herself. In doing so, she puts herself in several situations that are not so smart. (Nora is quite book smart, but in terms of the streets, well...lets just say she's not got her head on straight!)

The story really comes into it's own towards the end...things start to come together – although there's still plenty of twists left, right up to the last page.

For her first book Becca Fitzpatrick, has written a wonderful read, with rich characters, and an ending that will keep you guessing! No matter how “slow” the beginning started the ending was worth every bit of it...(and not to say I did not like the beginning it was just not as“action” packed, and did leave me saying, what? With an intense desire to read more.)

Okay I LOVED Patch! He is a great fictional boyfriend...I think I was thinking with my rational brain at times because I have had the "bad boys" and in then end they just end up hurting you and leaving a trail of destruction. Now that I have been away from this book for a while I realize how much I enjoyed him. The end was a jumble and I got confused by all of the "bad guys" I wish it would have been less rushed and wrapped up. Sequel? ...more

AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I read this book in one day, I could not stop reading it once I started it.

It tells the story of a fallen angel, who is faced with choices, to get something that he has wanted or to chose love!!!

The characters are amazing, and she keeps you on your toes until the end.
