Title: Hush, Hush
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genre: YA supernatural romance
Where I got it: Border’s liquidation sale ($3.75!)
One sentence: Nora’s life changes after she meets the mysterious Patch and is dragged into an ancient immortal war.
Themes: Angels, romance, mystery, bad boy,
Main character: 2/5
I wasn’t particularly thrilled with Nora. She was uninteresting, whiny, and unable to stand up for herself in any way. There also wasn’t any sort of gentle introduction to their relationship or romance
Secondary characters: 3/5
The only reason that this gets any higher rating than the main character section is because of Vee- I loved her character, even if she was oblivious and completely stubborn. Patch was your typical bad boy/blatant rip-off of Edward Cullen. I’m always a fan of the bad boy character, but I found Patch a little over the top and his treatment of Nora repulsive.
Writing style: 3/5
Nothing distracting, but also nothing particularly special. The relationship between Nora and Patch was written well, even if I didn’t agree with the plot of how it played out. The last third of the novel picked up the pace and I really started to enjoy how Fitzpatrick wrote out the action scenes.
Plot: 4/5
I read this before I read Fallen, so the idea of fallen angels was completely new and interesting to me. Fitzpatrick’s world was well thought out and had some fascinating plot twists. Although predictable, the plot was very entertaining, especially the action in the last bit.
Best scene: The showdown in the school
Positives: Entertaining plot, clear writing style, good action scenes
Negatives: Boring characters, simple writing style and plot, felt like a Twilight knockoff
Ending: Some good action scenes. Tied up the conflict without answering all the questions.
Verdict: I had higher hopes with all the hype, but it was cute and entertaining for what it was.
Rating: 6.8 / 10

I really enjoyed this book!
I was actually pretty surprised that the depth of the book actual held out for a teen read! I absolutely love when books throw curl balls throughout the storyline, without it being unnecessary!
Not being able to guess who the bad guy was as the book went along made it even more entertaining to keep reading. I’m intrigued to see what the sequel has in store
I rated it 4 stars though, because I really saw a lot of similarities to twilight and that threw me off a bit.

I originally read this book back when I was in 7th-8th grade and remember it only as being a book I had liked with the fallen angel plot, a iron deficient FMC, and a smooth talking MMC.
Reading it now as an adult, I can say that my tween self definitely gave this a bit more credit than it’s actually probably worth. I still think the fallen angel plot is interesting; it’s just no where near as fleshed out and intricate as it could be.
On top of that, the FMC makes many questionable decisions and the MMC is described as being vaguely ominous and threatening throughout almost the entire book but somehow they just ✨work✨ and are in love at the end.
I’m a sucker for a dark fantasy romance so I like the concept here and the pacing of the writing did a good job of keeping intrigue but it just feels like some parts were too random and unnecessary, like the two-ish scenes with Marcie Millar. Fitzpatrick was definitely setting up for a sequel with bits like that, which I did also read as a youth (I remember even less about it than this first book) and do not have a desire to read again as an adult.
I also think the author did a good job of setting the scene, the dark/foggy/gray vibe felt consistent.
Overall, I give this 2 stars for the concept and nostalgia. I’d love to see a non-YA version of this that has more depth!

OK, this book is great. It took me a second to realize what was going on, especially when things were being seen but not happening. Love the characters and the twists that were taken with the relationships and themselves. I couldn't put it down, so you know that's a great book for me. Can't wait to read the next one.

Bueno, que decir. Fue un libro que me mantuvo enganchada todo el tiempo, en ningún momento me aburrí. Estuve todo el libro así
por esas cosas que le pasaba a Nora que parecían imaginación de ella, y todo. Es muy confuso un montón de cosas, pero a medida que vamos conociendo todo los detalles nos va cerrando todo.
Empezando con los personajes, voy a hablar de Vee. Vee es la mejor amiga de Nora y sinceramente uno de los personajes que mas me gustaron. Es una chica super graciosa, y que a pesar de su físico siempre esta bromeando sobre esto, y no le importa nada, dice lo que piensa y me encanta eso de ella. Nora no me cayo mal pero tampoco es que ame su personaje, a veces es un poco insoportable y algunas de sus decisiones son agg. Patch, aunque sabemos que nos damos cuenta por sus acciones que al final su corazón lo termina traicionando y se termina enamorando de esta. Sabemos que es un ángel caído, y yo AMO a los ángeles caídos, así que ya tiene un punto por esto. Y bueno, a pesar de algunas cosillas, no puedo evitar no amarlo. Rixon el mejor amigo de Patch es un personaje que aunque no tenga mucho protagonismo en este libro, me encanta! Es como Vee en versión hombre. Y Marcie, bueno, la típica hermosa/bitch/popular de todo libro, simplemente odiable.
El final estuvo bastanteeee interesante, me gusta sentir la tensión en el aire! 
Le di 3 estrellas porque a pesar de que la trama me gusto mucho, creo que puede desarrollarse mucho mas en los siguientes libros, es un poco predecible en algunas cosas y ademas de que con toooda la fama que tiene, pensé que iba a ser un poco mejor, pero igualmente no es un libro malo, así que veamos los siguientes!

Yo sabia que estos 2 chicos (que no recuerdo sus nombres xd) que se habian fijado TAN de repente en Nora y Vee no venian con buena espina, ademas, a ver, con todas las sospechas de Nora, era BASTANTE obvio que no eran buena onda, aunque pense que uno era el malo, cuando era el otro el mas hijo de puta xdLe di 3 estrellas porque a pesar de que la trama me gusto mucho, creo que puede desarrollarse mucho mas en los siguientes libros, es un poco predecible en algunas cosas y ademas de que con toooda la fama que tiene, pensé que iba a ser un poco mejor, pero igualmente no es un libro malo, así que veamos los siguientes!
