Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and 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 Nora 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 her life.

Review:

"Fitzpatrick debuts with a gripping chiller where humans become pawns in the hands of fallen angels. Nora Grey is assigned a new partner in her sophomore biology class. Her instincts tell her Patch is trouble, and she doesn't like the way he is already inside her head ('Part of me wanted to run away from him screaming, Fire! A more reckless part was tempted to see how close I could get without... combusting'). Soon she is questioning her sanity — she is attacked by a masked figure that smashes her car window, but later the glass is intact. And the same figure ransacks her bedroom, but everything is in place when the police arrive. The violence and danger escalate, and Nora learns that Patch is actually a fallen angel seeking to become human. Fitzpatrick regularly tweaks the tension, resulting in a fast-paced, exhilarating read. Nora's tempestuous relationship with prototypical bad boy Patch is genuinely, even unsettlingly, seductive — fans of paranormal romance should be rapt. Ages 14 — up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

In Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush sixteen-year old Nora finds forbidden love.

Synopsis:

Partnered in biology with new student Patch, 16-year-old Nora Gray starts seeing things she cannot explain. At first she's both drawn and repelled by her lab partner, but when she sees V-shaped scars on his back, Nora learns Patch is fighting an ancient battle between the fallen and the immortal.

Synopsis:

Nora Grey is responsible and smart and not inclined to be reckless. Her first mistake was falling for Patch. .

Patch has made countless mistakes and has a past that could be called anything but harmless. The best thing he ever did was fall for Nora. .

After getting paired together in biology, all Nora wants to do is stay away from Patch, but he always seems to be two steps ahead of her. She can feel his eyes on her even when he is nowhere around. She feels him nearby even when she is alone in her bedroom. And when her attraction can be denied no longer, she learns the secret about who Patch is and what led him to her, as well as the dark path he is about to lead her down. Despite all the questions she has about his past, in the end, there may be only one question they can ask each other: How far are you willing to fall?.

Synopsis:

Its one thing to find out youre a vampire princess. Its a whole other thing to actuallyrule. Newly married Jessica Packwood is having a hard enough time feeling regal with her husband, Lucius, at her side. But when evidence in the murder of a powerful elder points to Lucius, sending him into solitary confinement, Jessica is suddenly on her own. 

Determined to clear his name, Jessica launches into a full-scale investigation, but hallucinations and nightmares of betrayal keep getting in her way. Jessica knows that without blood to drink, Lucius time is running out. Can she figure out who the real killer isand who she can trustbefore its too late?

He watches and waits. He knows and follows. He is your guardian.
There is a new guy at school. He is handsome but dark and mysterious. He is interested in you. But, here is the catch, he knows everything about you. He knows more than your closest friends. This is the relationship of Nora and Patch. Patch is the new kid at Nora's school. He is everywhere Nora is and she is scared. He watches her like he is her guardian angel. I really liked this book. It was very suspenseful and was a definite page turner. I loved the mystery and the chills I got while reading, Hush Hush. This book is intended for young adults. But anyone who wants to read about fallen angels or mythical people should definitely read, Hush Hush.

I picked this book up at the library because the cover looked interesting. I was disappointed. It was a 5 star cover on a one star book to sell the book. The characters lacked depth, emotion and development. I read this book in a day, not because I liked it, because I wanted to get it over with.
I am still wondering what the book is REALLY about. There was no symbolism and there was no mystery or suspense. To me it was way to one-dimensional.
The characters felt like windows, too see through and as fake as a nose job.
I do love the idea of fallen angels, but for me this was a dud.
Fallen, by Lauren Kate is a much better fallen angel book.
I don't condemn anyone who likes the book or disagrees with my opinion.
But I suggest you save your money and skip this book.
Needless to say I was glad I picked it up from the library and didn't buy it, I'd be asking for a refund.
