This book actually shook me to my core. LIKE- WHAT!

Personally, I found the book very fast paced, but at the rate where it’s enjoyable and doesn’t seem like the author is just trying to create short-cuts in her writing. I fell in love with the characters (especially Patch😘) and I fell in love with the story line and plot twists that this book had. I swear to god I could not put it down to the point where I was up from 12:00 to 03:00 am reading it, and having to force myself to put it down and to not finish it in the same night because I didn’t have the second book, and would have to wait till the 21st to get it, meaning I wouldn’t be reading for the whole day😭😭 Honestly, I enjoyed Hush, Hush so much, and I’m hoping the other books will be as good as this one.

I’ve got trust in you Becca Fitzpatrick💪

this is so 2000s ya in the best and worst ways but i'm shocked at how much i genuinely enjoyed it. it does read like a twilight ripoff but it had me more nostalgic than annoyed. the worldbuilding got a little confusing but overall this was really fun and i can't wait to read the rest!!

I was barely interested in this and setting it down for the night and starting it back up made me realize I just don’t care enough to finish and would rather read other things.

Every girl’s dream (according to this book): get a guy that touches you/watches you/interacts with you in a manner you’re not entirely comfortable with. We love no boundaries. Slay. Also—We love when an author jokes about school bombings and has students slut-shame other students. 
(Read all of this with very heavy sarcastic overtones.)

All in all, a vapid teenage romance that was definitely published in 2009.

———
I still read it in a day. Sometimes you just gotta give in to the impulse to read teenage drama.

“A fairy tale with fallen angels, human hybrids, and sacrificial killings.”
There wasn’t much that I liked about this book, but the overall concept was nice – fallen angels on Earth and what not. From the start I was amused by Patch’s banter with Nora and as the story progressed I started to like Nora and Patch more and more.

But seriously though, what’s up with everyone around Nora?! It's like nobody listens to what she says or takes her feelings into consideration. It already started off weird when Nora complained about Patch to her teacher. She told her teacher explicitly that she wasn’t comfortable and he completely dismisses her feelings. And don’t even get me started on Vee who claims to be her best friend. When Nora tells her that someone physically threatened her, you’d expect her to take Nora’s side over some guy they don’t even know that well. She even goes as far as making excuses for his behavior.

“He was wasted. Maybe – maybe he didn't know what he was doing. Tomorrow he's going to feel horrible.”

"He's like there nicest guy I've ever met. When was the last time he forgot to hold open a door for you? Oh, yeah, that's right... never."


Uhhh… what?! Nope, nope nope.

Unfortunately, I don’t expect to continue with this series. I am curious to know how Nora and Patch will continue, but I couldn’t care less for the other characters.
