Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Synopsis

When Nora's biology class has a new seating arrangement, she is devastated, scared, and interested. Previously, she was sitting with her best friend, Vee, but now she has to make do with Patch, a transfer student. He doesn't give much information about himself, but somehow he is able to know a lot about Nora without even asking, just from a glance! This really peeves Nora off and she finds it really irritating and freaky that he can know so much about her when she knows basically nothing about him. Who could've known the deepest and darkest secrets about Patch, when he is usually quiet and keeps to himself? Meanwhile, Nora meets a new student that transferred from Kinghorn Prep, a private school, to a very ordinary CHS. Nora finds this a little bit strange and eerie. Nora is about to find out the stunning truth about Elliot and his friend that never shows up to parties as well as Patch.

Verdict

I found this really interesting because i have never read about fallen angels before and I know there are quite a bit out there, in the big world of books. I was really interested in the way Fitzpatrick and structure the story so well, where all is revealed at the end and where the Prologue makes sense at last. She keeps the reader in suspense all throughout the book, although if you have read something similar before you might find it quite obvious, I don't know and I can't say. Based on someone with no experience whatsoever in reading books about fallen angels, I couldn't stop myself from stopping. No, it doesn't give you nightmares if you read before you sleep without having finished the book, but it certainly kept me awake and took me some time before i could fall asleep. I was wondering what would happen next; the suspense was really killing. If you love reading books where you can't wait to find out what happens next then this is the right book for you!
