This book started out very slow, but once it picked up, it was great! Really enjoyed it.

For about 2/3 of the book, I would have gone with 3 stars. The last 3rd I just listened to because I was stubborn, but it was just not doing anything for me. It had all the things I had said I liked "The Last Child" in spite of, and basically nothing that I liked it for.

This one was definitely not a favorite but I couldn’t get myself to give it 3 stars. I had read the first book and really enjoyed it so I was excited to see the same characters. However it really didn’t matter if a person had read the first one or not. Besides mentioning Johnny’s past nothing pertained to the first one. This one went more magical, supernatural I don’t know. Just got boring in parts that left me feeling what was the point.
Side note: I have never seen a company beg a new employee to come to work like they did Jack.

It’s rare that a sequel is as engaging as the first one, but Hush managed it. I think the key is that the book didn’t rely too heavily on the original story - the characters have grown and evolved, but it is a new plot that goes in a completely new direction.
This was a page-turner for me. It was light enough that I could read quickly; however, the story was compelling.

I don't remember The Last Child but this book held up as a stand alone as well. Johnny lives in the Hush, its a strange and powerful place where people have been going missing for years and there is a strange presence that allows Johnny to feel connected to the earth, and heal from wounds almost instantly.
There is mystery and history to this land that goes back to when Johnny's ancestors owned it and slaves. The land was transferred to a slave family and has since reverted back to Johnny when the last male heir to that family died and he is fighting to keep it with the help of his best friend Jack.
Interesting story line that follows Johnny and a young African-American woman who have similar dreams. Their pasts intertwine and everything leads back to the Hush. Characters are well developed and while most of John Harts stories aren't supernatural in nature this one seems to fit. Very well done.
