Book Review: "Hush, Hush"

By: Kayla Carrico
Hush, Hush, the first book written by author Becca Fitzpatrick debuted as a New York Times bestseller. Hush, Hush is amazingly well written. It is Good enough to capture the attention of even the most diehard vampire fan.
            Hush, Hush is the story of a high school student named Nora Grey. Nora’s life is completely normal until the day that Coach switches seats in biology and she has to sit by the incredibly mysterious Patch. Before this, Nora had never shown any interest in boys. She had a plan and they were not a part of it, but there was something different about Patch. He just seemed to draw her in.
            When unexplainable things begin to happen to Nora she’s not sure who she can trust. Patch seems to know everything about her. Nora Grey is being thrown into a battle as old as time itself, with fallen angels and many more mysterious happenings. The only thing left for Nora to do is decide which side she wants to be on.
            Hush, Hush is so well written because Becca Fitzpatrick makes you feel like you’re a part of the story. Nora’s battle becomes your battle as you feel the need to pick sides. She includes a mixture of everyday problems that all teenagers face, (including friends, school, and other teenage pressures) and it combines them into a world with a whole new perspective.
            Hush, Hush is new; it includes a fresh idea that also sticks to the popular genre of today. I think that it is wonderfully written and very unique. Although books of this nature have been written before, (those with angels and fallen angels), this novel has a new take. Becca Fitzpatrick took an old idea and put a new spin on it, she spent five years perfecting it and her hard work shows in her fantastic writing and her brilliant character development.
            If you’re looking for a good book to read, look no further. Becca Fitzpatrick’s Hush, Hush is just what you’re looking for.
