So I marathoned this "saga" and kind of don't remember what went down...whoops. This book kind of surprised me when I saw all the "meh" reviews...but other than that it was very ordinary in the YA paranormal whatever romance genre.

I will keep saying, This is actually one of my favorite books. I read this book for the first time when I was 13 and honestly every once in a while, I go back to it. I don’t care if others think it’s a mediocre book. This is a great book.
It’s the type of book that can make you giggle and kick your feet at any age.

This book was very famous with teens like 4 maybe even 5 years ago, but still may be favourite for many teens. But at that time I was fan of another angel book – Fallen Series by Lauren Kate. Don’t think I’ve reviewed the books from that series yet, but at that time I was a reader not a reviewer. Okay, back to the topic. For the past 2 years I’ve been getting this book as a recommendation to res from goodreads and my friends. I even got all four books as a present from my friend, but it was still on the bottom of my to-read list. But then my mind goes ballistic asking for something Angel related to read, special keyword – NEW. So, I looked through my shelves and found this book.
To those who read my bog and are fans of Hush, Hush series, please, do not take this to heart and please continue to read my blog. I didn’t really like the book. Okay, I did like it in some parts, but in the nutshell it just broke expectations. I mean, I heard so much about it and when I read it, the only thought that I had: “Will it end soon?” however, I believe the first book was just an introduction and the next books will be much more interesting ad I’ll get my share of excitement and hopefully will understand what the whole fuss was about. Again, deepest apologies to fans and author, but I’m just expressing my thought here, and I’ll be happy to discuss everything in detail with you, either email me or just comment below.
Now let me briefly elaborate my thoughts. I didn’t really enjoy the book as much as I expected to enjoy it. First of all, the first two chapters ma made me think: “Was sex really such a hit topic in 2009?” Why the heck should the book be started from that? I’m not against a sexual education classes at high school, but come on, not the way it was described there. Is Nora stupid or what? I mean, when you read the blurb you get absolutely different feeling about her – cold. I was ecstatic to read about her, but after 5 chapters, she just turned into another wishy-washy female lead. She did try to regain her I-don’t-care-about-boys attitude, but I don’t know about you, but she didn’t fool me. Another character that I just wanted to strangle was Vee. She was annoying as hell and thought that she knew what was best for Nora. Best friend or not I would have just slapped her r wouldn’t talk to her for a month for making such awkward situations for me. But no, out Nora is all-forgiving. This might sound pretty off, but I actually enjoyed Patch’s Character. In the beginning I was thinking what a jerk, but then as Nora gravely disappointed me, I found Patch’s arrogance quite fitting. He was an absolute machiavelist. He wanted something he did everything to get it, screw the rules and morals.
Well, I’m off to read next book, hope I get more action. If you haven’t read it yet, well, I suppose you should, maybe you will find it more enjoyable and will criticise me for what I just wrote. Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below!

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was probably something with way more angel content than what I got. Nothing happened for literally 200 pages?
Also, were we always so ridiculously unfeeling as YA female protagonists? Nora Grey was literally down the street from a murder, then she went to check the body?? And wasn't traumatized??? Even though herfather was supposedly killed the same way ???? Holy shit, if this had been me at sixteen years old I would have needed to be hospitalized, immediately. But the first person this girl calls isn't the police, it's the weird creepy stalker boy who may or may not also be a murderer. Who is also in high school.
Hell yeah I'm gonna finish this series if only to snigger at the absurdity and hilarity of it.

Para mi, este libro se divide en 2 partes, la del stalker tras una chica, que sin duda alguna yo denunciaría y la segunda la cual me encantó y en realidad atrapó, sé que es una saga, y aun me quedan 2 libros más pero siento que no queda más historia por contar, dejaré que esos libros me sorprendan
I originally read this in early 2012. I just really love this book! It's just one of those books that I like to reread if I'm in a reading slump because it's so fast-paced and really easy to get through!
