A Fallen Angel... A Forbidden Love

For Nora Grey, romance was never part of the plan. 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 isn't sure if she can trust him. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. And when she tries to seek answers, she she discovers she is right in the middle of a centuries-old battle between the immortal and the fallen... and it's time to take sides.

I'm not a good critic so I won't be reviewing the book. I'll just post what I think about the book. Anyway, what really made me read the book is the cover and the involvement of fallen angels. I'm not really into fallen angels before. Actually I love fairies and elves more but I saw YA fallen angels first, and I don't like vampires anymore ever since Twilight. 

Some people were comparing it to Twilight because of the forbidden love story between two races and I really do hope they stop that. I won't say which is better because I would sound biased. Anyway, I practically finished the whole book in under 12 hours! I was also surprised on how fast I was able to finish it. I could not put the book down because there were a lot of questions and I want answers. A lot were happening but I could not find the answers until the last few chapters. Although I'm not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Regarding the characters, I'm still not sure if Nora would turn out like Bella and I'm hoping she wouldn't. You know, the whole head-over-heels thing and so-so-crazily-in love stuff. Although I'm seeing some similarities between Patch and Edward, the dark, mysterious aura, the... wait a second... did I just compare Hush, Hush, with Twilight? Whatever...

SPOILERS ahead. ~wink 

Anyway, I was a bit surprised with what happened in the end of Hush, Hush. I thought Patch would be a fallen until the end of the whole series. I did not expect that he would be able to resolve his being fallen in the end of the first book. But he became a guardian. I was actually like hoping that he would be a fallen until the end because I think having a fallen as a boyfriend is more exciting than a guardian. lol. Well, I'm not sure what would happen in the next books... Maybe he'll become a fallen again, kill a Nephilim and become human!  Or he'll raise his rank and become an archangel! Whatever... I  would just wait for Crescendo. XD
