My Review: I was so bummed that Nora lost her memory of Patch and everything that had happened. It was frustrating every time something she knew would come up and she was like “oh, this is like de ja vous. Wonder what it means.” I wanted to jump in the book, shake her really hard and make her understand what was going on. I thought it was sexy that Patch aka Jev, was still around even though he told her he wasn’t going to be. That just goes to show that he cares about her. However it really bugs when the hot guy character is the one that gets to decide what’s best for the girl. We girls have ‘Girl Power!!’ Ugh huh that’s right! Anyways, I could tell this book was trying to the final of a trilogy and it moved oh so fast and then the end was like, ‘boom badda bang! There’s one more! Girly squeal!’ And of course I hate waiting for the sequels to come out. Definitely one of my favorite series.

Released: October 19, 2010

Summary: courtesy of goodreads.com 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 and even worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, 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 feeling that he's hiding something.

Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

For Fans Of: Torment, The Lost Saint, Desires of the Dead, Beautiful Darkness.

My Review: You know that girl in high school that you always wanted to hit really hard and damage her face? Well that’s Marci Millar, Nora’s archenemy. I was so, SO terribly mad at Patch, and at Nora. Nora, because she told Patch to go away and never come back. So obviously he can’t be her guardian angel anymore. But why, out of all the people in the world did he have to go ‘glorify’ Marci? Ugh! So when Vee and Nora sneak into Marci’s room to steal her diary, I was rooting for them to destroy her!! Ok, I was just upset at Patch for taking Nora seriously. I love this series and pretty much why is because the characters are so real. Real to the point that I was pointing at my book and yelling at Patch and Nora for being down right dumb! Nora needed to be nicer, Patch needed to say no once in a while. And Vee..well she’s the cool awesome, annoying best friend who rocks!

Series: Hush, Hush Book #1

Released: October 19, 2009

Summary: courtesy of goodreads.com 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...until Patch comes 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 whom 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 far 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.

For Fans Of: Halo, The Dark Divine, The Iron Daughter, Unearthly, and Fallen.

My Review: I love coming across a series that I devour in a weekend. My bff couldn’t get the books to me fast enough. My first thought while reading this book was, oh no not another Twilight themed book. I mean it almost was; with the biology scene, the mysterious, drop dead gorgeous student that sits right by you, and the fact that he has a secret that he can’t tell you, but it involves you. Totally Twilight, but what made me keep reading on was the idea of Fallen Angels. This was my first book regarding the fallen. I’m proud to say that I am a fan!

Nora reminded me of myself and that’s why I liked her. Her best friend Vee reminded me of my bff in high school. So far I was enjoying this. Enter Patch. Hot, sexy, mysterious and all things vavavoom! I was instantly in love, even though he seemed very sketchy (I am drawn to these types of guys, even in books). For some reason, it intrigued me that Patch was trying to kill Nora, but somehow along the way, he fell for her and her for him. It’s like forbidden love. I was reading a review on this book from a goodread’s user and they said something to the effect of Patch being who Edward wanted to be, but couldn’t. Totally true. But Patch isn’t Edward. Thank goodness for that!

I liked how throughout the book, I never could figure out if Patch was the good guy or the bad guy in disguise. I mean you definitely find out which one he is in the end and it’s pretty cool! I just don’t know what more to say about why I love this book so much. It’s one of those books that I read when I want to smile. So I get this book out quite often (often enough that my cat has chewed on it.).
