New twist on the paranormal genre 
 I chose Hush Hush because it's a solid first book in a series I had honestly been meaning to finish since its final release. I tried reading this back in 2009 when I was still in High School and I remember liking the premise but being unable to finish it. After much debate on what to read next at the library I found all the books in this series and decided to give it another try. 
 First of all I understand this book is the first Fitzpatrick has ever written. Given that there are some pros and cons. On one hand this is a nice refreshing story (I remember thinking I had never read a book about angels before, back in 2009) and the characters are relatable given Fitzpatrick's age at the time of writing this. I always feel like the younger the author the better their ability to convey thoughts and ideas of teenage characters. On the other hand however I found myself getting snagged on small plot points that were not fully developed and minor changes that are easily overlooked. (Nora has a laptop she uses to type up a movie review at the beginning of the book. Later on she states she only has an old IBM computer with dial up to use at home.) 
 Final THOUGHTS: 
 Patch is a jerk, angels are kind of scummy, and Main is perpetually wet. Even though this isn't the first time I've read part of this book I was easily sucked into the story. I think I finished this book in about 4 days at reading a few hours a night. Nora's personality was a little lacking and a few minor details took away from the experience but I did thoroughly enjoy the book. The idea of Angels possessing bodies is pretty creepy and I liked that dark edge. The love isn't exactly instant but I was surprised how quickly Nora went from "You're a creep who might kill me" to "I can only see myself with Patch and no one else." I've seen this a lot in YA novels and so I can't really call out Fitzpatrick when plenty of other authors are guilty of this. 
 Would I recommend this book? 
 Yes but with caution. Obviously this is the second time I'm reading this book (first time actually finishing it) I can't see myself ever having a urge to go out and reread this book now that I finished it. That being said I am still eager to start the next book in the series to see what adventures are in store for Nora and Patch. I'm also watching to see how Fitzpatrick grows as a writer. I can't judge too harshly when I know someone who has no formal background in writing took a risk like publishing a book and made it. It takes guts and I applaud her.
