I know a lot of people don't like this book but something about it drew me in. Throughout the whole book the chemistry between Patch and Nora was so enticing. Every time they were together a got shivers down my spine, Patch is one perfect hunk of a man. His dark and mysterious looks had me captivated from the moment I started reading. Before you write off the book just borrow it from the library and read it for yourself it you don't like it thats fine, but if you loved it like me then you might just be hooked on Patch and Nora forever! :)

I read Hush Hush after reading Fallen by Lauren Kate. Once I realized that there are paranormal/supernatural books about things other than vampires I eagerly grabbed my kindle and bought this book. I liked it. It wasn’t for me though. It was interesting, which is why I read Crescendo. Hush Hush revolves around Nora, a teenaged girl who lives with her widowed mother. Her father was murdered before the book begins. When Patch, a fallen angel posing as a high school student, gets paired up with Nora for class, she tries to make the best of the dim situation. He makes her uncomfortable and refuses to answer any of her questions. With Nora’s grade hanging in the air, she follows him and finds out that he is, indeed, one not to be messed with. Trying to have a normal high school experience, Nora wants nothing to do with Patch. But with Nora’s life in jeopardy, Patch becomes a necessary part of her survival. Even if it means giving up what he wants the most.
I started this book hoping it would blow my mind away. I was a bit disappointed. Hush Hush was creative and suspenseful. The only problem I really had with it was Patch. I just didn’t like him. He was the typical bad-boy-does-good character. Patch’s sketchiness was just too much for me. Sketchy creeps me out. I liked him a bit better at the end. Although all his secrets still made me question whether his intentions were all good. Patch’s decisions aren’t so much based on right and wrong but on what he wants and how to achieve that end no matter the cost.
Nora is your typical teenaged girl. Although I don’t know many teenagers that would go out at night to a part of town they’ve never been in just to get answers for a school assignment. Some of things she did, I would never do. It was fun to read, though. I really admired Nora’s determination and refusal to just sit and let things happen to her. The scenes that involved both Nora and Vee were fun to read.
Hush Hush was engaging. The end was very suspenseful and had me page flipping (or kindle clicking) until the very end. The end took me completely by surprise. The twist redeemed the book for me. Patch and Nora’s actions towards the end were touching and dramatic. Hush, Hush isn’t my favorite book in the world, but still an entertaining read. It had a bit of everything-love, suspense, mystery, action, and the supernatural. Becca Fitzpatrick wrote a story about love, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.

Too rushed, very similar to Twilight series. Book had so much potential. Would've liked it if it was a love triangle book, but they lost me.
who gets tricked into allowing someone to posess their body !?!?!?!?

I started reading in middle school, didn't finish it until tonight. Didn't like it at all. 

I read this book about 4 years ago, you maybe a little more and at the time, I really liked but now not very well think that was one of the first books after "dusk" and actually has a very deep place in my heart and Patch is best, but do not think that is a history so well done as others have read from this :/
I recommend it to people who are just starting to read, maybe at 13, because otherwise you might not like it as much, and it would be a waste to see this series overshadowed by others with more "background".

I was forever waiting for the truth to be revealed about Patches secrets and what was going on. It definitely had me thinking who was bothering Nora. The end of the book didn't have a cliff hanger so I wonder what is next.

Was not a bad read. Good romance. Mystery and action. It's just my kind of novel. I wish Nora was a little more special. Like had a power or was immortal or something! Add a little spice to the story to make it MORE appealing. I'm reading the next one but I hope it goes somewhere.

I remember this book being a lot better when I read it in middle school. Every character felt one dimensional, and Patch and Nora didn’t have the chemistry I remember then having. It’s a bummer because I do enjoy the concept of this book but Nora’s character is really irritating and stupid, and Patch has no character whatsoever. Comic sans Twilight for me.

This book has been on my TBR for YEARS. I finally decided to read it and unfortunately I should have read it during my Twilight years. It’s not that the stories are similar, it’s just YA at its finest and that’s just not the kind of read I’m looking for right now. It reminded me a lot of the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate; which I definitely prefer to this series. It ended in a way that makes me want to continue the series; however I will be giving away my physical copies to make space for better books and listening the the audio through the library…maybe…

Omg this book was totally amazinng. Apart from the fact the their bio class is so not accurate to what one actually is like, I didn't have any problems with this book. I did get a bit frustrated at the begining because patch revealed like nothing about himself annd had a hard time liking him. But after I warmed up to him. And omg when he revealled that he actually wanted to kill her my heart was pumping so fast and I was praying to god (ironic) that he doesnt.there were some similarities to twilight, but they were minor (ie bio class, supernatural guy, human girl) and it was totally different.
