Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

I would say this book is geared toward younger teens, 13 and up. Here’s a bit about Hush, Hush from Ms. Fitzpatrick’s site: 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 who have fallen -- and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

I know that probably most of the free world has read this book already. I always tend to be lag a little on these things. I liked hush, hush, despite the fact that some of the characters grated on me a touch. I do realize that I’m an adult and am reading it from my adult perspective; in other words, teen girls can grate on my nerves at times.

I thought the storyline was interesting. And what girl (yes, even women) don’t like a guy with a bit of the bad boy in him. We can’t help it, we’re somehow drawn to this whole scenario. Vee drove me a touch crazy with all her funky antics, but we all know someone like this, don't we. I liked this book and actually read it in two days. I just couldn’t seem to put it down. The cover is lovely and I'm looking forward to Crescendo. I give it 3 1/2 roses.

  1. Lisa,

    Even my Dearest Daughter thought some of the characters were whiney!

  4. First of all--new follower! *waves*

    I stumbled across your blog today and when I saw you write MG I had to say "Hi" There seems to be a shortage of MG writers in the blogosphere.

    Anyway, I love connecting with other writers, so I can't wait to get to know you a little better. Though I warn you, I do a lot of my blog hopping at work, which means I lurk more than I comment. But just because you don't see me doesn't mean I haven't been here. :)
