Summary:

A Sacred Oath. A Fallen Angel. A Forbidden Love.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. At least, not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and probing eyes, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not sure who to trust—she can’t decide whether she should fall into Patch’s arms or run and hide from him. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth more unsettling than any feeling Patch evokes. For Nora stands amid an ancient battle between the immortal and those who have fallen—and choosing the wrong side will cost her life.

4 out of 5 stars

After I savored my paranormal romance cravings to the dark vampiric side came the birth of another otherworldly romance theme revolving around fallen angels and humans. Hush Hush has the same background--a paranormal romance written by the American author Becca Fitzpatrick that tells the story of Nora Grey who found herself in trouble after becoming involved with his mysterious biology partner known for his bad-boy image named Patch. A enigmatic guy who will later be revealed to be a fallen angel connected to Nora himself upon a sacred oath from his past.

The interesting part about this book is how the author had managed to solve the puzzles connecting the two main characters although it was written in the main perspective of Nora, who I enjoyed very much as a character thanks to the author's realistic imaginations that had put her to life. As the book have promised, she was your average girl trying to graduate from high school and live up to the expectations of her single mother. And Patch, of course, how would I forget the bad boy, fallen angel in this series. Perhaps it was true, that almost all girls fall in love with bad boys. Nora wasn't an exception and so does the femme fans and readers of this book. Aside from his dark brooding good looks, Patch offered his immortality as an angel all because of his love for a mortal woman in the past. Talk about sacrifice! And what did he endure because of that? Everything, from not having to feel sensations up to having his wings ripped off by the avenging angels, thus giving him a scarred mark on his back. Not only that, in the end, the mortal woman he loved died as well making his sacrifice useless in the end.

Fortunate for him, he met our protagonist Nora Grey, who at first was intended to be his sacrifice for him to be allowed to go back to the heavens, because she has a Nephilim bloodline. Actually, she was a descendant of Chauncey Langeais, the human vessel Patch used during the Hebrew month of Cheshvan. Chauncey later introduced himself as Jules to Nora and her bestfriend, Vee. He was seeking everything to get revenge on Patch, which will drew Patch and lead to Nora falling in love with the fallen angel.

Hush, Hush received a 4 out of 5 rating from me. The same as Kate Lauren's Fallen, it gave another astounding romantic plot line that involved two people from different worlds, that of an angel and a human. A pair-of-star-crossed lovers as William Shakespeare puts it. And to top it all up, it's a best-selling novel and now is on its way to be adapted into a film by LD Entertainment, which is something I'm sure Hush, Hush fans would be waiting for with excitement.
