thoroughly disappointed
I really did not enjoy this book, I thought it was boring and the characters were self absorbed and interacted in a disappointing way. I honestly thought it was going to be better by Naomi Impellizzeri

Un-predictably Addictive!!
I have to admit that at first i didn't want to read this book! Not that there was something wrong with it, but everytime it appeared on my suggested books list, i continuesly ignored it. Till one day, i decided that i should actually give it a chance, due to the fact that i have already read lots and lots of books, several of them not so good, so what's one more, right?!Well, wrong!
From the first pages of Hush, Hush i was compelled! i mean, really, it's been a long time since i read a book and actually couldn't know what was going to happen next!! Everytime, i was 'wtf?!'. So many twists and turns, so many unpredictable things and i have to say with absolute certainty that till the end, you are completely thrilled!!
And i have to mention, this book is just not another angels book!!nuh-uh!! Fitzpatrick was able to create something brand-new from an already known story!And that's the beauty of it! She's not afraid to use her imagination and that's what's making the book so interesting till the end, without the reader being able to predict the plot!
And of course, the characters!Fitzpatrick was able to create so real characters that you felt the excitement, the irritation (because i have to admit, Patch was soooo irritating and arrogant to the first half of the book!!But at the same time, he had an appeal to us readers!), the confusion about what was going on, the complete attraction, and all the other confusing feelings!!
I definately propose this awesome book to all the fans of fiction! it's something that you will enjoy and i bet on that, so give it a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised!!And from now on, i will always pay attention to my suggested-books list! by amalia -
PATCH....SIGH!!! (www.novelsontherun.blogspot.com)
I must start my review with an appertiser for this book....
"He spread his hands on the counter, just outside my hips. Tilting his head to one side, he moved closer. His scent , which was all damp dark earth, overwhelmed me............"You should go, " I breathed. "You should definitely go."
"Go here?' His mouth was on my shoulder" Or here?". It moved up my neck.
"My brain couldn't process one logical thought. Patch's mouth was roaming north, up over my jaw, gently sucking at my skin....."
WOW!!!! I loved this book. I read twice ,2nd may 2010 and 3rd May 2010. Refreshing a male lead character , Patch, who was flawed in so many ways but underneath was good. I can't look at Taco making the same way ever again. I loved the 'POW's'!!! I call a POW where the reader is blind sided, didn't see it coming.
Patch was a difficult character, full of secrets, mysterious, sexy and ultimately the saviour but no doubt also has his dark terrible secrets.
I just loved Patch and his personality, he just oozes it. He is a combination bad guy/good guy . At one stage I was yelling ''NOOOOOOOOOO!!!'' ,when I discovered Patch's motive.
It was refreshing to have interesting names in this book. Nora the female lead, Vee her best friend albeit you have to wonder sometimes about the title 'best friend'. I thought Nora's mum was a bit , "daft" through out this book , considering.
I love a good POW!!! and I think there is a great POW!! in this book. Becca Fitzpatrick has the reader ''brainwashed'' in this tale of a fallen, 'uber smexi' angel and a girl.
The book cover is a draw card...love the cover..it tells alot before you open the book.
'Crescendo' ( sequel), will tell me just how bad Patch really is , current release date October 19 2010. I did have some unanswered questions at the end of the book, but that's what 'Crescendo' , is for.
"Crescendo" I can not literally wait for. When I finished this book I ran around in circles I wanted to read "Crescendo" that badly, but I must wait:(
Quotes:
"You smell good, too," said Patch.
"It's called a shower." I was staring straight ahead. When he didn't answer, I turned sideways. "Soap. Shampoo. Hot water."
"Naked. I know the drill."
"You possess other people's...bodies."
He accepted that statement with a nod.
Do you want to possess my body?"
I want to do a lot of things to your body, but that's not one of them."
"...I'm not good", he said, piercing me with eyes that absorbed all light but reflected none, "but I was worse." by Michelle Auricht -

Hush Hush was an enjoyable read. I've not read many books with angels in so for me it was a nice change. I particularly liked the fallen angel aspect which gave the story some edge to it.
I found there were a few similarites to Twilight, particularly towards the start of the book. As a non-Twilight fan, this may have annoyed me more than it actually did were it not for the fact the writing in Hush Hush was considerably better and the plot was way more interesting. Also Nora wasn't as whiny and pathetic as Bella.
I really liked that it wasn't obvious where the plot was going and it kept me changing my mind about what I thought was going to happen, making me want to keep reading when I knew I really should have been going to sleep. All in all a recommended read for fans of the genre. by Tasha -
MaNouDi's Review!
For those of you who enjoyed, "Fallen" by Lauren Kate, you will absolutley love this novel.
I was a little worried about being let down when I first began this novel.
The cover is so eye catching and I've come to notice that more often then not, that the cover can be very misleading. But this is not the case with this amazing novel.
Although the publisher's could have chosen a better font for the book, the book has no obvious flaws.
The characters are well developed. Like usual though, it's a book based on a damsel in distress, and her superhero is one of the supernatural kind.
Don't get me wrong, I do love these books, but very rarely have I read a book of this sort where the lead female isn't so vulnerable and oblivious.
The book leaves you constantly wondering where the storyline is headed as it doesn't give you many clues as to what's going on.
The lead male is a little too underwritten. Some scene's could have had a little more detail, but the author has put in just enough to so that everything in the novel makes sense.
Author could have built a little more climax and suspension. But the action is thorough. Which is good enough for me.
One little bit of advice is to pay attention to the prolouge, it's the biggest contribute to figuring out the mystery!
***
Personally I didn't like "Fallen," so I was a little skeptical when I started reading "hush hush." Although the books are very similar in context, I would have to say "hush hush" is much better written, and overall much more enjoyable.
Looking forward to reading more from Becca Fitzpatrick! by Amanda
