Personal Book Review on Hush, Hush

Being that, nowadays, the supernatural or the mysterious are such a fascination, I would say that the book Hush, Hush (the first book in the Hush, Hush saga) can satisfy our thirst for the unknown.

It is a book by Becca Fitzpatrick and is set in our world and our time, but where there are fallen angels among us humans. The main character, Nora Grey, never expected a romance to come into her life, but an intriguing guy called Patch seems to have something that just draws her to him. A series of mysterious events makes Nora doubt her judgement and makes her question if Patch is really trustworthy or not. As she snoops around and tries to get answers, she soon finds out things she never thought could be true. It's time to choose sides.

The book is fast-paced which ensures that a reader will not get bored, and for me, it was my first time reading a fictional novel novel about fallen angels so I found it quite exhilarating. Patch also has some sort of superpowers: like he can make you see and feel thing in your head one moment, then bring you back to reality, just like what he did to Nora on the roller coaster; he seems to attract the opposite sex because he's incredibly good-looking; and he's a little stronger than the average guy, adding to the book's supernatural factor. The dark side of the novel and of the leading man just intrigues me and makes me want to know more about the character. Nora, being a simple high school student, creates the feeling of our reality and Patch's unknown world connected, even in a distant way. Patch also has this unknown past that he never seems to be willing to share. Once again it makes you want to know more.

The book, overall, is a good read and will pull you into the story specifically in Coldwater, Maine. I'd surely recommend it to my fellow bookworms. It will surely leave you wanting more. :)
