Hush Hush book series

My sister and I have been addicted to the "Hush Hush" series of Becca Fitzpatrick. Once you've read a page, you couldn't just put it down. You just HAVE to finish it!

Hush Hush
I was really new to this Vampire-Fallen-Angels thing-o that has been buzzing around lately when I first read this. I usually read mystery, detective-ish novels so I wasn't really sure of what to expect when I first read this. I'm not planning on spoiling major details so I'm gonna have to put it to minimal.

Okay, the story mostly is all about a girl-meeting-the-boy-of-her-dreams cliche but there is a major plus in it. There is something about how Patch Cipriano is described that makes you want more of him. The character itself teases you, seduces you to read more. Well, that's my case. Another plus would be the setting isn't in a normal world - it's in a world where angels, nephilim existed. Yep, this book introduced me to a lot of interesting stuff like Nephils, Chesvan, Fallen Angels and stuff. 

The story is fast-paced so it didn't bore me at all, compared to the other novels where you spent a whole lot of time reading about 10 pages and it's just about the main character doing ONE thing. I mean, come on! And I really loved how the suspense built up to the end. 

Bottom line is: I just loved it! ♥

Crescendo
The story starts off from the events from the last book, and continues on broadcasting the love story of Patch and Nora.

This one has a lot of twists in it I may say. Better twists than the first one. This story, for me, is a character development for Nora Grey, the heroine of the series. It makes you see her as a person. Honestly, I got frustrated at her because of her selfish actions. But that's why I loved it. It's a story wherein the main character wasn't perfect at all. This story brought light to the dark side of the main character that made me understand her more. And with that, you get to have sympathy and love for Nora.


Silence
The third book, and the best one for me.

Honestly speaking, I hated how the first events turned out to be - well simply because I just want a happy story. Ha ha! Well moving on, this has a lot of mystery in it, especially for Nora's case. I loved how it involved more action and suspense. You get to feel the hatred for the antagonist so much.

The thing that made me love this one so much is Patch. Yes, him. Imagine saving your loved one's life in exchange for her memory of you. It's like you're suffering and he/she doesn't even know you exist. How sad is that? How romantic was that?

Like the first book, the suspense built up really well to the end that it left me hanging. Yes, it's the beginning of a war for Nora and Patch's world, and I really want to get to see the results of it. What would happen? Especially..
