A review by kblincoln
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
4.0
The voice of Nora, the high school protagonist in this book, was very compelling. And her romantic foil, Patch, is really quite the bad, bad boy. I felt some of the same kind of teenaged angst with Nora (although she was by no means as pathetic as Bella in terms of standing up for herself) and how she felt around Patch as I did with the Bella/Edward love tension.
However, boy do I not like how I felt Nora kind of glosses over the whole "I meant to kill you" plan of Patch. He is awesomely bad boy (down to his bar fights and motorcyle) but she never seems to really process the fact that he meant to kill her (twice!) even when she kind of suspected it.
Despite this complaint, and the plot give away in the prologue (regarding who subsequent villains in the piece are), this book is very readable and probably would have gotten a higher score from me if I where a high school reader. I think people looking for something to read after Twilight could do worse than pick up Hush, Hush.
