Not all Trouble was Bad


Everything had come into focus: his smooth  words, his black, 
glinting eyes, his broad experience  with lies, seduction, women. 

I'd fallen in love with  the devil.

Done with the second Hush, Hush book -  Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick. I was actually excited to read this because  it felt like a lot of secrets would be revealed in this book regarding  Nora's father and his friend and more of Patch. And then maybe some revenge  for Chauncey and maybe for Dabria.  Although some of them were present in the book,  I still wasn't really that happy with the second book. As much as I so love the first book, Crescendo somehow bored me. It was like I was dying for something else to happen but all I was able to find was Nora and Patch fighting... Nora getting jealous... and Nora trying to shake off Patch out of her life. For heaven's sake, can't she just trust Patch? Actually, I got annoyed at Patch for being with Marcy. But I found Nora more annoying with her trust issues. Patch even tried to go inside her dreams and explain but Nora did not even give him any credit for it. He is trying to make their relationship work despite the threats of the Archangels but Nora just wallowed in her own world of jealousy.

His smile was sexy and warned of trouble, 
but I'd made up my mind that 
not all trouble was bad.

I'm not saying I hate Crescendo. I still like it only not as much as the first book. I still find Patch and his relationship with Nora, hot. And since something happened at the end of the book, which I think is what I am really waiting for, I am expecting more action with the third. And I hope I won't get bored anymore. 

Why was it wrong for us to  be in love? 
Were angels and humans really that different?
