Book Review: Hush, Hush

Hush, Hush 

"A SACRED OATH

A FALLEN ANGEL

A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life."

Review: Although Hush, Hush is has a lot of similarities to Twilight, it stands on it's own. It is a really good book. However, I am not giving it four stars because it was quiet slow moving. I felt as though more and more events happened that resulted in more questions and no answers. It was very annoying. I don't believe I got any answers until around page 300. I guess this was Fitzpatrick's method of trying to get the reader to keep reading. It definitely got me to keep reading. I really like Patch. He is really mysterious and your typical bad boy. I always have a thing for the bad boys in books. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. The writing is fantastic and Fitzpatrick has a certain way of grabbing the reader's attention and drawing them in until they are finished.
