My immediate reaction: I liked it, it was enjoyable, but I am not going to make it a permanent addition to my personal library. I started reading it around 7:00p.m. one evening and I finished around 11:00p.m. It wasn't an "Oh, I gotta see what happens," feeling; the book simply held my interest, and I had no need to stop. I like a literary bad boy (hey, who doesn't), but Patch didn't just reek of danger; he seemed to be the kind of 'don't-go-there-girl' sort of guy who takes relish in causing havoc. Actually, between his rude arrogance and his down right manipulative and threatening mind games, the word 'sociopath' frequently flashed in my head. He truly seemed to get a high kick out of giving Nora the extreme heebie-jeebies, and in the process, gave them to me, as well (kudos, Becca). In one instance, he does something towards Nora that, were I her or were she my daughter, cops would have been called. Of course, I would have done that a few different times in this book with more than one guy, but no spoilers here! A HUGE annoyance were Nora's frequent comments about how Patch's physical proximately made her feel and her struggles with those feelings. At those times, I just thought, "Shut up, Bella Swan." 
 Overall, it was a fun book, and I likely will read its recently released sequel, Crescendo. If Hush, Hush had come out in the early 2000s, my personal opinion is that it might have been the book to kick the nation's love for the paranormal back into action (Patch would have needed to be a wee tad more personal). As this is the author's first book, I look forward to seeing where her writing goes from here. In conclusion, Hush, Hush didn't give me the squealy delights, but if you are looking for a good escape one evening, this might fit the bill.
