What a journey it’s been! So sad that this addictive, fast-paced and amazing series is over, but also very pleased with (most of) the way Becca Fitzpatrick wrapped things up! It’s definitely one of the more unique YA fantasy series and the concept of fallen angels felt very new and fresh compared to all vampire novels. The story hooked me from the very first page in book one and kept me at the edge almost the whole way through all four books.

In this fourth book, Patch and Nora face almost insurmountable obstacles, with Nora being forced to lead the Nephilim against fallen angels. To try and convince the Nephilim that Nora is on their side, she and Patch fake their break-up. But of course nothing goes as planned… Things even got so bad that I feared for a heart-breaking ending of the whole series.

Overall, I enjoyed the writing style and all twists and turns, and that the story felt new and unpredictable. But most of all, the characters were absolutely wonderful. All of them were so much more than the one-dimensional archetypes you often find in YA books. And even though the finale felt a little rushed, and the series has had its ups and downs along the way, this is definitely one of my favorite series of all times and I am really happy with how (almost) everything played out in the end.

This third book in the Hush, Hush series following human girl Nora and fallen angel Patch, was a little slower for me than the first two and started off a bit confused. There was also less action than before, so this book felt a lot like a build up for the grand finale. But it was still a very enjoyable read that left me even more eager for the last book!

In the beginning of the book, Patch gets a deal that can give him Nora back, but would make him loose his wings forever. Five months later, Nora wakes up within a graveyard having lost her memories. She has no memory of Patch, but has moments of deja vu when she hears his name and as the story progresses, both Nora and the readers realise what has happened and things become clearer. It was a bit repetitive and confusing reliving some parts of the stories from the previous books, but I truly enjoyed the part where we got to see Nora and Patch fall in love with each other all over again.

Even though there wasn’t much development in the first half of the book, it was still amazingly well written and the second part was a total rollercoaster. By now we should be used to Becca Fitzpatrick’s twists and turns and cliffhanger endings, but this book’s ending was truly shocking! I absolutely cannot wait to continue the series and find out what’s in store for Nora and Patch and how it will all be wrapped up!

This second book in the adorable Hush, Hush series following human girl Nora and fallen angel Patch, was almost as addictive and amazing as the first one. I was so excited to read more about Nora and Patch after what happened in book one, but it took a little while before the plot really took off this time. But when it did, there was so much action and so many twists it felt like a rollercoaster!

Patch is now Nora’s guardian angel and her angel boyfriend. But soon Nora starts to feel insecure and doubting Patch’s feelings for her, and things start to go downhill… A relationship with an angel is no walk in the park, that’s for sure.

Nora came across as a little bit whiny at first in this book, but about halfways she was back to her tough and feisty self. And Patch was such a douche bag for a major part of the book, but still he’s my favorite bad boy. I think I will forgive just about anything he does… A character that really grew on me in this book was Vee. In a way, she became more of Nora’s guardian angel than Patch. She was truly what a real friend should be, always looking out for Nora.
​
Just as in the first book, there were a lot of twists and turns, and the book ended on a major cliffhanger making me wanting to jump straight into the next book in this series!

This was such an addictive, fast-paced and amazing read! So much better than the synopsis, it really doesn’t give this book justice! Hush Hush is so much more than the typical girl-meets-dangerous-boy ordeal, so much more than a Twilight copy. It was all I was hoping it would be and so much more!

Yes, at first the plot may resemble Twilight quite a lot. A small town where everyone knows everyone. An over-achieving high school girl with not many friends (Nora) who is left by her single parent to look after herself most of the time. A strange, but gorgeous, bad boy (Patch) in her school, who she suddenly gets teamed up with for a school project. But there is so much more to it! The plot was amazing, and quite unique from other similar YA fantasy novels. The concept of fallen angels felt very new and fresh compared to all vampire novels… The story hooked me from the very first page and kept me at the edge the whole way through. There wasn’t a dull moment and the writing was very smooth and with a great flow. But most of all, the characters were absolutely wonderful. All of them were so much more than the one-dimensional archetypes you often find in YA books. (Even the antagonist, who was quite the surprise at the end...)

Nora was such a great and lovable main character. She was both strong and vulnerable, intelligent, attractive and humble. And I really appreciated that she kept her doubts against Patch and others throughout the novel. (That she wasn’t the naïve damsel in distress that Bella Swan sometimes felt like.) I rooted so much for her, but the character that completely stole my heart was of course Patch. Bad boys with a good heart are my favorites… I also really enjoyed Nora and Vee’s friendship. It felt authentic and the dialogue was just so witty and fun!
​
I basically read this book in one sitting and can’t wait to continue the series to stay in Nora’s and Patch’s world!
