It started out really good then all of a sudden BAM suck city. I was able to stomach about half of the book and then after that I just skipped to the parts that had Patch in them. The rest of the story was really just filler. There was no point to it. *TINY SPOILER* CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK
At one point she does something semi-interesting and steals that other girls journal, but then she doesn't even read it. If I thought my kinda bf was cheating on me and I went through all that goddamn trouble to get the stupid journal there is no way in hell I wouldn't read that. Hell I'd cut out the good sections and paste them up on my wall.
So basically the story sucked but I'll read the third one because I love me some Patch. And maybe he'll get smart and dump her ass for good.

This book was a train wreck.
Nora is at least 12 different varieties of idiot in one character. She wasn't nice to anyone really in the whole book, and she's just not at all a likeable character.
And I honestly do not understand Patch at all? Even after he explained everything, I was just like, ArE YoU SerIoUS MaTe!! I just... no.
Vee was a cool character, but because the story is all from Nora's perspective, we didn't get to truly appreciate her at all which was really disappointing.
Marcie is def. a loser.
Okay, the ending plot twists were good. I can give them that!
But other than the ending, this book had no plot.
It was all moping-whilst-pretending-not-to-be-moping with a nice side of act-irrationally-to-make-other-person-jealous-instead-of-actually-doing-anything, topped off with a final helping of nobody-talk-to-each-other-about-our-feelings-just-be-miserable.
I don't know if I have the strength to finish this series, but I'm going to get through them, I am determined!!!

RIXON WAS LIKE THE ONLY CHARACTER I REALLY LIKED ALL BOOK AND TURNS OUT HE WAS EVIL?!?!?! I guess this says something about me... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯But other than the ending, this book had no plot.

Actual Rating: 3.5
This was a great read. I actually changed my rating from a 5 to a 3.5. As I re-read the book, I want to be reminded of why I loved it besides Patch. It just did not have the same impact on me the second time. I found the story to not be as engaging as the first one, which I loved. Also, the characters were annoying at times and boring at others. The plot twists within the storyline were great. I can't believe that. I can't wait to read Silence. Overall, a sequel that could have been better.

This was amazing! This series is totally interesting. I loved this book! The concept of forbidden love between a human and a fallen angel is quite unique. I thought the world was cool. I loved the relationship between the main characters. I did not expect that ending. I can't believe that. Total plot twist. Can't wait for the rest of the series. Overall, an enjoyable read.

I am going to start with this books cover. It is so beautiful and really eye catching. I love the silver/bluish tone to this cover and with feather its very subtle but speaks volumes.
I had been anticipating Crescendo since last year when I finished Hush, Hush. So when my best friend (the postman lol) finally delivered to my copy I was so excited. When I started reading I did find it a little hard to get into. I had to re-read some parts because I forgot what happened the page before.However, within about 4 chapters I was loving. Crescendo was everything I imagined it to be and so much. It is full of turns and twists that I honestly didn't see coming.
The characters we grow to know and love in Hush, Hush are all back. We also get to see a couple of new characters. Nora and Patch relationship is rocky all through the book which really kept me on my toes as to what was going to happened next. Vee is also more involved in this book and I found myself starting to like her as I didn't really like her in Hush, Hush. Scott who was a childhood friend of Nora plays a big part and I found myself getting drawn deeper into the story when he appeared. Rixon who is the first book, returns in this one with a bigger role. And we get to read more about the Irish Man. In my head I could his Irish accent I made up. lol.
Crescendo, really has outdone Hush, Hush. It has answered so many questions left unanswered in Hush, Hush, mainly about Nora's Dad. It leave you hanging and begging and screaming for Tempest to be out so we can find out what happens next with Nora and Patch.
Becca has produced yet another amazing gothic tale. It is thrilling, captivating and takes on an emotional rollcoaster. LOVED IT.
Recommended to those you love a gothic tale full of twist and turns.

First off, I didn't think that Hush, Hush was that good. I decided to read Crescendo though because I heard some good things about it.
As many other reviews have said, this book is very "Twilight-esque". Basically, it seems to follow the same basic plot line as the first 2 Twilight books. Even so, this books plot was pretty good. Although it wasn't amazing, it had a twist or two that surprised me.
Nora was a lot more annoying in this book though. I thought she relied to much on Patch and she didn't know how to act when she had to make decisions without him. I thought that Patch was a bit annoying too, mainly because I felt like he kept secrets that should have not been secrets.
Overall I love Becca Fitzpatrick's writing and voice, but I don't know if I'll be reading the next installment in this series.

I really liked the first book, "Hush, Hush"!
I expected to like this book just as much, but sadly, I can't say I did. I just felt really... meh about it. I think it may be because I felt that nothing really interesting happened. I had no problem with the way it was written, or the characters. I guess the plot was just not as exciting as I'd hoped.
I tried to like this book... I really, really did!

crescendo was really good I thought though I did get tired of Nora's way of trying to save Patch. That got old quick I wanted to smack her at times. I was however surprised to find that Rixon was the one who killed Nora's though finding Mr Miller was the Black Hand that was an interesting Cliffhanger for the next book.
