Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: A sacred oath, a fallen angel, a forbidden love. 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 who have fallen – and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

This is the first in the Hush, Hush series. It is a story is a new twist on the Fallen Angels. Nora becomes stressed as she realizes that someone is out to get her. Then the very mysterious Patch shows up and starts to make her wonder what is reality and what isn’t. The supporting characters like Vee are well created. Dark and light collide together to make for a very good story. I enjoyed reading it and found Patch to be a great character whom you’re always wondering if he is the good guy or the bad guy. I couldn’t put this book down as I tried to figure out who was on whose side. It’s a total page turner that keeps you guessing and makes for a great story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, Crescendo.
