Hush, Hush is the story of Nora, a sophomore who has been through a rough year. Her difficult time has served to make her slightly more mature than most of her sweet-sixteen counterparts, especially her best friend Vee. She thinks she has it all figured out until she meets Patch, a bold, dramatic boy with the annoying tendency of showing up when least expected. When Vee and Nora set out to discover more about Patch, Nora learns more than she expected-- and isn't sure how to feel. With the added pressure of the sexy Elliot moving in on her, Nora starts becoming more and more brave, maybe brave enough to believe in Patch. The closer she gets to finding the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.
I was VERY surprised at how much I liked this book! I expected it to be a so-so teenie-bopper novel from an author trying to make a break in the paranormal romance world. But it was actually a thrilling story. I liked, sorry, loved, the romantic sparks between Patch and Nora. At first, I wasn't sure if I was team Patch or Elliot. But WOW, Fitzpatrick blew my mind with Patch, and I quickly fell for the darkly funny guy. He was full of humor and innuendo, plus totally sexy with Nora. It never got too risque, which I appreciated. The plot was a little slow in places, thinking back, but I sped through it. It was creepy, exciting, and totally made my heart stop in places. It was easy to look past the somewhat-cliche characters and the too-convenient absent mother that seems to exist in most teen fiction. It was a really amazing story, and different than anything I have read, or expected from Hush, Hush. Looking forward to reading the sequel: Crescendo.
4.5/5!
