Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

This book has everything that a young teenage girl loves. Smart girl, quirky best friend, the bully, dark mysterious new boy, fallen angels and love conquering everything. Hush Hush is defiantly the typical teenage girl book. It’s the story of a girl named Nora who is this smart girl, doesn’t have too many friends and a mother who is never home. When this new boy comes to her school and takes interest in her. At first she refuses to acknowledge him but has this strong desire to be with him and as the book progresses she finds that she likes him and thinks he likes her too. However what she does not know is that this new boy patch is actually a fallen angel. These fallen angels cannot physically feel anything, however once a year during this certain time the fallen angels can posses a body. It has to be a pacific one type and that is a nephil. Each fallen angel has their own and they must make them agree and swear to them once before they can take over their bodies. The nephil hate this and want to put a stop to it. However in the book patch finds out that he can have a human body if he kills his nephil and the only way to do that is to kill a direct descendant of the nephil. For patch that is Nora. As Nora starts to fall for patch and he spends more time her he falls for her. Patch tries a few times to try and kill Nora but he never can. His interest in Nora has out her in danger from others as well. Patch now has to try and keep her alive while also determining whether he can kill her.  Nora and patch fall for each other and patch now knows he can never lose her and has to protect her.

The story is very clique, it is your typical teenage love story mixed in with a war between fallen angels and nephil. The book does make you laugh at times. However it is very predictable and is just another one of the many teenage love stories out. In my opinion it is not one of the best love story books. It is amusing and entertaining though and I did go and get the next one when it came out and read it. It’s a fun book if you don’t want a serious read and like to laugh at some of the predictability and the clique of the love story. However Becca Fitzpatrick’s novel hush hush has become a world known book that all the teenage girls seem to swoon over. Who doesn’t love the mysterious dark boy and shy cute girl love story?
