Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick


   "Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, Marcie Millar.
   Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feelings that he is hiding something.

   If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts."

    Even through the first book wasn’t that great, the second it’s more entertaining, especially the last 20 pages.
   So, Nora fights with Patch and he runs to Nora’s arch enemy: Marcie Millar. She and Vee try to figure out what is between them, while Vee gets together with Rixon and Nora with Scott, an old friend from her childhood. But things aren’t so pink between them, especially because he might have something to do with his father death and he’s involved in the angel-nephilim world.
   Mixed with thrill, mystery, horror, drama and comedy, this book gets to you and it makes you want to finish it immediatly.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick


    "Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.
   But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems 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 she 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 Nora her life.”

     It’s a strange book. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are not in the mood for reading, because it found it... weird. But somehow is a nice lecture.
   First, Nora is an average girl and Patch is a fallen angel. And the love story it’s too rushed. But otherwise, it’s a good book, it has a little action there and there. But it kinda reminded me a bit of Twilight because Patch it’s a cold person and he follows (stalks) Nora.


    Anyway, it’s a good lecture for your free time and if you don’t have anything else to read. And I find Nora’s relationship with Vee very cute :D
