Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

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.

To start of, I’ll say that I liked this book.  I was entertained.  Nora was a pretty interesting and likable character.  That said, I had a few issues with the book.  The part that bugged me most was that I felt too much like I was reading Twilight with different characters occasionally.  The story seemed very similar.  I never really understood exactly what Patch saw in Nora or Nora saw in Patch and didn’t find the book all that romantic.  There were a couple other things about the ending that never quite came together for me, but I’ll leave those out as they’d be spoilers.

I thought the fallen angel mythology that Fitzpatrick created was really interesting and I am interested to see what happens in the sequel.  And the cover is so pretty!  I love it.

P.S. Sorry I’ve been such a slacker blogger recently.  Work has been crazy and usually around Thursday I realize that I didn’t do Teaser Tuesday or Waiting on Wednesday.  I need to get back in the habit!
