I have to say that I preferred Crescendo to Hush Hush. To be honest, I can't really remember all the details about Hush Hush. 
 But Crescendo had me up all night until I got to the very last page. I couldn't put it down. 
 Patch is sexier and darker and more mysterious. Though, I was hoping for more scenes with him and Nora. 
 Vee made me laugh so much. The dialogue between the characters was great and so natural. 
 Although, I had just a few issues with the book. For instance, Patch's real name was just not something I would have pegged him to have. The name just totally threw me off for some reason. 
 And the major problem I had was Nora. Her character was incredibly obnoxious at the beginning to the middle of the book, and I almost couldn't stand her, her thoughts and her actions. 
 But the plot was intriguing with so many twists and turns and angsty scenes that it was just to irresistible. I thought I had guessed the main plot at the beginning but was in for a shock at the end. 
 Another problem was the way the book ended. Come on, Becca! I need to know what happens next! Very interesting read. Can't wait for Tempest.
