Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

This was one of the books I had to get once it was released. After reading an excerpt online, I knew I needed to read it. I was craving it! And let me tell you, it does not disappoint!

Hush, Hush tells the story of Nora Grey, your typical high school girl with your not so typical problems. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to work hard for it. And romance isn't part of it. At least, that's what she thought before Patch enters her life. Patch...mysterious, charming, sexy, and dangerous! Nora doesn't know why, but she knows she should stay away from him. Only thing is, she can't. Not for lack of trying, but everywhere she goes, Patch is there. And the more he's around, the more she's drawn to him. But Patch is hiding a secret. One that could end up destroying her and her life, as she knows it.

There were times in the novel where I thought to myself "oh, I know where this is going." Only thing is, I was wrong. This book is filled with surprises, suspense, romance, and mystery. Throughout the book, I kept wanting my questions answered. By the end, the majority of them were, but it still left me curious about other things. I guess that's what the sequel, Crescendo, is for.

Of course, there are other characters besides Nora and Patch. Vee, for example, is Nora's best friend. I personally didn't care for her. She came off selfish and self-centered. There's Elliot, the new kid from Kingston. He has the hots for Nora. And his best friend Jules (quiet and mysterious). There are others that I will not mention because I don't want this post to become too spoilery.

For those of you out there who enjoy a yummy male lead (I know I do!), Patch does not disappoint. I enjoyed his constant innuendos, confidence and charm. He comes off a bit arrogant. Okay, very arrogant, but I swear, it really is part of his charm. Definitely drool worthy!

In the end, I really enjoyed this novel. The only thing I don't enjoy is having to wait till 2010 for the sequel! Thank goodness for all the other delicious novels out there on my TBR (to be read) list.

Until next time, this is your Book Addict Girl signing off!
