   Vote for #TeamPatch on July 18th!   My review of "Hush Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick  *Originally posted on 8/7/2011 Nephilim (half angel/half human), Fallen Angels (yeah, those ones), mystery, danger and romance..."Hush Hush" has it all. Nora Grey is the heroine in the story but Patch, the resident hot boy, steals the show!  He walks into Nora's life by way of Biology class and he's tall, dark and all kinds of wrong for her but in all the right ways.  He wears black from head to toe, hangs out at shady places and rides a motorcycle.  He's the epitome of bad boy.  He's also hiding something...the fact that he's a fallen angel.  Just the kinda a guy you wanna bring home to meet Mom, right?  I'd say Dad but in this case, Nora's is dead. He was murdered a few months ago.  Back to Patch... See, a long time ago, Patch fell in lust with a human and he thought he could just drop on down to Earth and have a little...

  I could NOT wait to read this book but once I had it in my hands I wanted to read it as slowly as possible. Why?  Well, because when author, Becca Fitzpatrick announced the other day that there is going to be a 4th book in the "Hush Hush" series I knew it would be at least another YEAR before I would get my Patch fix again and that's a long time to wait. Like torturously long and I wanted to savor as much Patch as I could.  Can you really blame me? ;) There was sooo much heart racing excitement at the end of "Crescendo" that I expected "Silence" to pick up right where it left off, in Patch's shed or Jev as we found out was his true name, (Honestly, I don't care what he calls himself, as long as he calls. Wink. Wink.) but it doesn't.  It actually picks up three months later in a cemetery where Nora has woken up without a clue as to where she is, what day it is or how she got there.  Oh yeah, and she has no memory of the past five month...

*SPOILERS*  you may not want to read this if you haven't read the book yet. As far as sequels go, this one was pretty good.  Lots of action, lots of answers but not so much on the romance. In fact it was pretty much the depressing break-up book (think TW New Moon).  Honestly, I wanted to see more Patch & Nora.  I mean, it's great that he's her Guardian angel now but we want him to be human. Human! Ok, you get my point.  We find out that while our resident hot angel boy can feel her emotionally he can't feel her physically so when they're playing tonsil hockey or snuggling he feels nothing, nada, zilch.  How bad is THAT?!  As far as boyfriend/girlfriend relationships go, it kinda helps if you can feel each other when you're holding hands or kissing goodnight. This realization puts a damper on things for them.  It's also not fun to be the first one to say those three words and not have them reciprocated which is what happens when Nora tells ...
