Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Age Level: Teen
Format: Book



Sophomore Nora Grey struggles with the death of her father and her mother’s long work-related absences. When she is paired up with Patch in biology class, her initial reaction to the mysterious, quiet guy is not exactly positive. Yet, she somehow feels drawn to him. As dangerous and frightening events start to occur in Nora’s life, her contact with Patch seems to keep her grounded. But, Patch is hiding a lot about himself, and his secrets could be deadly for Nora...

The first in the Hush, Hush series, this novel is perfect for those who enjoy supernatural romance stories. While there are some similarities to Twilight – girl meets mysterious boy in a science class being one of them – Hush, Hush focuses on fallen angels interacting with humans. I love Fitzpatrick’s writing style; I found myself turning the pages and losing track of time. The character of Nora shows resilience, strength and intelligence, traits that some young adult heroines lack. The reader also does not discover all of Patch’s secrets by the end of the book, which is a perfect way to draw readers to the next in the series, Crescendo. I am certainly looking forward to reading the second book.

If you have been debating upon reading the series, movie rights for the series have been optioned, so there could be a movie based on the books in the near future!
