This book was so similar to the Mortal Instruments in so many ways. I know some people would hate that, but I loved it!

I loved this book and bought it as soon as I finished it. The dialogue is funny and witty, the story is fast-paced and intriguing, and Patch is insanely sexy. In my opinion it's head and shoulders above the typical YA fiction.

I can't say I really liked this book. First of all, I found Patch to be incredibly creepy. What kind of decent guy would continually insult someone else for no apparent reason? Nora switches between 'Oh noes, he's trying to kill me' to 'I love him and he would never hurt me', sometimes within just a few pages. Now how exactly am I supposed to like her? That's not to say the book wasn't bad. The characters weren't quite cardboard cutouts, but they were pretty darn close. The book mentioned that Nora was an over-achieving, Baroque music loving, cello playing girl, but all of this was told. We never actually read about her fussing over grades, listening to classical music, or playing the cello; instead the author just tells us everything. Of course, there's also Patch. I guess I should be slightly happy that he wasn't just some immortal teenager angsting about being a monster (*cough* Twilight *cough*), but that's probably the only good part. He's sexy, mysterious, and maybe a bit overprotective, but that's it. So why would Nora love him? Oh wait a minute, she's not. It's called lust, people. LUST! And biology class. Oh god. Nora complains about Patch harassing her, and what does the teacher do? Absolutely nothing. Totally unbelievable. The writing was okay, though. Grammar and spelling was fine, not too much re-reading of passages.

If you see this and think, 'oh great, it has angels in it instead of vamps, witches and werewolves, whoopeedoo seen that before.' - don't. Read it right now. The conversations are perfect and witty, the characters are believable and have living personalities (might remind you of someone you know), and, most importantly, Becca Fitzpatrick does sexual tension REALLY REALLY WELL. wow. My only complaint is that we don't get a lot of backstory and have to wait for a sequel!!!!!

Hush, Hush is a book about a teenage girl in high school encountering a new guy that she just can’t help but get to know. Her best friend said she should stay away from him because he seems dangerous. And yet, Nora continues to fall in love with Patch despite her own arguments against him. She later finds out that Patch is a fallen angel but it gets even more complicated than that. Who is trying to kill Nora? It’s quite an interesting read that I do suggest to others. It’s a paranormal romance fiction book that many people would enjoy, especially those who like Twilight or something along those lines. 4½ stars for it!

This book was much, much better than I orginally believed. I was absolutely hooked from the first page and can't wait to read the next book. :) 5 Stars

This book makes me lust over Patch, the love interest, about as much as my seventeen-year-old mind lusted over Edward in Twilight. And you can just imagine how in love my teenage mind was. Becca is a magnificent author balancing different plots, supporting cast, characters you feel friends with (even the ones you want to punch) and always ensuring the reader is lusting over Patch ... the whole time ... wanting him completely ... never quite getting him. Yes. I was thoroughly frustrated. In the best way possible. Patch is my weak spot. He's a (very) bad guy but Becca ensures you waaaant him no matter how shocking he is. He's toxic, but alluring. That's the way I felt. And the best part was, Nora, the protagonist, never got to be with him or figured him out until the end. The novel takes you on a ride, tugging you here and there. There wasn't one section that was dull. I'm really disappointed I waited this long to read this book. It is one of the best stories with a romance in it that I've read -- no mushy, mushy, all completely drool-worthy. There's so much tension throughout the book that I had no choice but to read on. I completed it in four days. Two of those days I worked nine to five. In a sentence, this book was my weakness; I couldn't get away from it for more than a few hours at a time.

The back: Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment. but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide wheather 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 she is right in the middle of an ancient battl;e between the immortal and those who have fallen --and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

He waited a few counts before answering. His voice was low, emotions untraceable. "You know I'm hiding things." There was a question attached to it. I knew Patch lived a life of closed doors and harboured secrets. I wasn't presumptuous enough to think even half of them revolved around me. Patch lived a different life outside the one he shared with me. More than once I'd speculated what his other life might be like. I always got the feeling that the less I knew about it, the better.

Patch's eyes were black orbs. Taking in everything and giving away nothing. Not that I wanted to know more about Patch. Since I hadn't liked what I'd seen on the surface, I doubted I'd like what was lurking deep inside. Only this wasn't exactly true. I'd liked a lot of what I'd seen. Long, lean muscles down his arms, broad but relaxed shoulders, and a smile that was part playful, part seductive. I was in an uneasy alliance with myself, trying to ignore what had started to feel irresistible.
