Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1) reviews from people you don't follow

I'm still tingling from the ending of this wonderfully delicious book! I immediately went in search of a sequel and discovered that there is one set to release in November (thank the heavens!) titled Crescendo, phew! Sooooo, on with my review!
I decided to read this novel after reading multiple reviews of how fantastic this book is, especially since I have been looking for a good angel saga ever since I read Sharon Shinn's entire Samaria series in less than a week. (5 books) There is something refreshingly different about angels in the Fantasy genre of literature, instead of the almost-cliched use of vampires, werewolves, and witches. Not that I've had my fill of those, either, but change is good.
The lust-filled tension between Patch and Nora reminds me of a certain other famous couple in YA Fantasy, except Patch isn't nearly as secretive about what he wants. After stepping back and thinking about his character, I came to the conclusion that what attracts the fairer sex to the bad-boy type is not necessarily his "badness", but his confidence. The biggest clue that Patch was not normal was the amount of confidence he exuded around Nora. And I don't recall my sex ed. classes ever being as interesting as Coach McConaughy's class! Truly, I don't think I could say one bad thing about this book. The loose ends will obviously be answered in future books, such as Nora's father's death, Dabria's fate, and what Nora's mother will do about the farmhouse. The ending was almost a complete surprise to me, and unpredictable in many ways. I'm also curious as to how Nora Grey's parentage will play a part in future books and the massive potential that comes with it. I also like how Nora is not totally dependent on Patch and seeks to solve her own problems and fight her own battles - more strong woman than damsel in distress. Her best friend Vee provides a bit of comic relief, as well as adding a human element to balance the supernatural aspects of the book. I could go on and on. I'm also very curious if the topic of God will be addressed in any future books, since it would seem that acknowledging heaven, angels, the Book of Enoch, etc., means doing the same for God. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Crescendo!

Most of the book was predictable, but not in an annoyingly overbearing way. While I enjoyed it, there were moments that were so abrupt, I kind of felt like sentences had been removed. This was interesting enough that I read it in one sitting, but I'm still contemplating whether or not to continue the series.

Well after reading a lot of the other reviews for this book, I have to say I didn't think Patch was too bad. Okay, so he did a few bad things in regards to Nora but he wasn't the bad guy in the end. I actually liked him from the beginning, when he was the new bad boy at the school and was trying to get Nora's attention. I admit my feelings about him changed a little when he confessed what he was really there for but he didn't go through with it...
The only character I really had an issue with was Vee, and it wasn't anything major, she just annoyed me with how pushy she could be when she wanted something
Anyway, I'm off to start Crescendo...

I loved Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick it was amazing. I was hooked on this book 13 pages in. I loved the story between Patch and Nora. I had a bad feeling about Jules and Elliot from the beginning I knew something was off. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series this book gave me what I like to call "book hyperness" rush.
I'm not sure why I had this on my want to read shelf, because I've read the series before. I really like this series. Patch is just so 😍😍😍. But Nora is kind of dull. Honestly though the series is worth reading. Her best friend gets on my nerves though.
I read all of the books super quickly. I really like them. I went and bought them. I originally read them at the library.
