** spoiler alert ** 
 I have to say that I was a little disappointed with Crescendo. If not for the brilliant twists and turns in the story, I would have given the book only 2 stars. 
 Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the plot developments and how Rixon was actually the one who killed Nora's dad but everyone thought it was Patch and the twists and turns about Nora's parentage. All those were very exciting and I'd admit, they were what kept me reading. 
 What I did not particularly relish was Nora and Patch's relationship, especially on Nora's end. I liked it when they were fine with each other. The romance between them was very well-written but I didn't like their relationship when it was in the "off" mode. I applauded Nora when she made the decision to make a clean break from Patch because she thought it was the right thing to do, but groaned every time she started making plans to bump into him "accidentally". After all, Nora kept telling herself she was going to be over Patch once and for all, and then turned around and accepted invitation to a party where she knew Patch would be there. I thought it was a bit hypocritical and also, very annoying. Not the kind of strong role model to be emulating, if she ever was one. 
 So apart from Nora's indecisiveness when it comes to Patch, (I liked that we finally know his real name. Jev.) and the fact that someone is always trying to kill her, I'll still be waiting for book 3 because, we all need to get over that cliffhanger, no? :D
