Book Review : Hush Hush & Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

So I finished Crescendo recently, and OMG! I'd already read Hush Hush and I loved it, and so I got the second book obviously. I finished both books in less then a week, I couldn't concentrate on anything else! Their now part of my favorite books! 

So I'll start off with Hush Hush:

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether 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 Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
So the only reason I'm not gonna give you my summary is because I will ruin the whole entire book for you guys! I will end up telling everything! But seriously its been so good! Patch is so intriguing, and dreamy. The story is just amazing! I can't say enough  for how much I love it. 
Heres is the summary to Crescendo, (don't you just love the name, I think its super cool!): 
Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described as anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.
The further Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim bloodline has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?
So read these books! Tell me what you think! I can't wait till the next book called Silence comes out! 
Thats about it, till next time! 
Bye!

Book Review : Fallen by Lauren Kate

I started reading this book about three months ago, I just finished it last week. For me that is a really long time to take in reading a book. Usually if I'm really into something I can finish it in a week two maybe three weeks for the most if its longer.


I bought this book, around the time when Last Sacrifice the last book of the Vampire Academy series came out so obviously I started reading that first. I was reading this then and the beginning was really really slow for me and I was just not into. So I put it aside and decided to finish it later. I really did want to finish it since I was only a few chapters in and a lot of people said they really liked this book.


I bought it because of all the great reviews on it. When I was at the store and i picked it up to read the back cover I was honestly not 'hooked'. The description on the back is really unclear and you really don't know what to think of it.


So I started reading the book again after month, month and a half? I did start to really really like it. The plot really gets you 'hooked' after the first have of the book. I was really into finding out what happens in the end and its kinda a mystery so you really really wanna know all the dark secrets of the characters and that sorta thing.


So I did like this book, it was slow in the beginning but as the story progressed I really started getting into it and I finished it in maybe two weeks after I started it again. I do recommend it if you will follow through. I'd rate this book maybe three and a half,really close to a four [out of five]. I am really anxious, I cant wait till I get the second book, Torment.


So thats about it let me know your thoughts on the book if you've read it or read it then let me know what you think!


Bye!
