Hush Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick

Finished: April 24th, 2019

This series was amazing and has a very emotional ending. I chose to read this series because it's about Fallen Angels. I love Patch's and Nora's relationship and all they went through I'm happy they got the happy ending they deserved. I cried when Patch was able to feel in the end but wish Scott's ending was better though and wished he had survived the war. I was not expecting Vee to be Nephil as well. Marcie's end was sad as well but I'm really glad it worked out for Patch, Nora and her mom in the end.

Do I recommend? Yes

The character development (0 more)
This book was very well received by my book club. I found it very easy to connect with the character of Harold, and felt like I was tagging along with him on his journey. I loved the twists and turns of his relationship with his wife and his son,and also found myself filling up at parts of the book. It wasn't just a physical journey Harold found himself on,but also an inner journey of looking back on his past. I also loved the ending, which I was surprised about as it's not a book.i would have chosen to read usually. I think I will now go.onto read more by Rachel Joyce.
  
This was a good mystery, full of twists, and fast paced. Tempe thinks she knows who killed Hazel and who the remains belong to only to find herself proven wrong. I was kept guessing right along with her. While I really enjoyed the mystery, Tempe's indecision regarding her on again / off again relationship with Detective Ryan was starting to get to me. There was some resolution on that front near the end though, which is why the book gets 4 stars from me instead of 3.

Raw, emotional, outstanding
From the second I started this book I couldn't put it down, what an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Following the story of a man's journey with mental illness and his romantic relationship with his first love.
I fell in love with the characters, I felt their pain, their joy and their love. I cried, alot, happiness and sadness. This book was written with so much insight and knowledge showing the reality of mental health issues and the impact on the individual their lives and their relationships. Danny baker is an author I admire and who can really create an intense and a read that you just can't put down.

This is the third book in the series.

The book is very good, it answers some questions but definitely poses a lot more. It is possible to start to see some of the direction the series may take and who the key players are. Also to begin to make your own predictions and hopes.

It is good to see Talia and Erik continue to grow as people and their relationship evolving. They are both having to face the real world and the decisions they are making. They are also questioning what they are doing and why. The naivety of the previous books is gone.


I have really enjoyed this series and recommend it if you enjoy dystopia.

Camellia is a beautiful model whose life is not her own. She does everything that her parent’s want including paying all of their bills. At a photo shoot, she meets a handsome pastor and an abused homeless teenager. Through them, Camellia finds a purpose in life and a backbone to finally do what makes her happy.

Camellia develops through faith, prayer, and the support of other women to have a deeper relationship with God and to finally find happiness. This book is filled with hope, a little romance, a little mystery, and a greater understanding of church and faith.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
  
Brooklyn (2015)
Brooklyn (2015)
2015 | Drama
A heartwarming coming of age story
Brooklyn’s plot is fairly uncomplicated and straight forward, but it’s the execution that makes this film worth watching. It’s such a beautiful and heart warming tale of an Irish immigrant in America, filled with drama, sadness and even a bit of comedy. Saiorse Ronan is brilliant, and she’s the main reason why this film is worth watching. Emory Cohen too is simply adorable as Eilis’s American love interest and this relationship is so heart warming to watch.

My only criticism about this film is that Eilis’s return to Ireland seemed a little rushed and whilst the ending itself was fairly sweet and satisfying, I feel like they could’ve done much more with it.

interesting characters, plot development, romantic progression (0 more)
repeat dialogue and grammatical errors (0 more)
I honestly think this book has been the best in the series. I'll repeat my normal complaint that the dialogue repeating from book to book and numerous grammatical errors are rather irritating but the story progresses very well. Pretty fast paced compared to some of the others so far. Not as predictable, although some aspects I called pretty early on. Not to mention, quite a bit more relationship progress. I'm a little torn with how it ended up but excited to read on. I had no idea when I started this series that there were already 27 in the series but I'm hooked enough to continue on.
