Nora finds forbidden love with her fallen angel, in the first book in the New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga. For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and 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 Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

I was wondering in a book store when I saw this book, it got my attention, I was 15 and I was really into supernatural stuff. From 2010 til 2024 I think I’ve read this book over 20 times, it’s my comfort book, it’s the book that I use to escape. I definitely recommend. The whole series is very good, but the first book is the best.
If you love supernatural books this is series is for you!

If you love "forbidden Love" & "supernaturals" this is for you. If you love "guys who will do anything to protect her" type of books this is for you! I really enjoyed this book.

Great young adult book
An awesome re-read.
Published by Elaine , 10 months ago
Depending on how much I like a book is how fast I'll read it. I've re-read this series for about 6 years and it seriously makes me feel like I'm reading it for the first time every time. I read this in about a day each time ,I can never willingly put it down. On a serious note it helped me with some things in my life for me to escape into a different world when I needed it, this book helped me realize that my mind can be trusted and that people lie even for the smallest things, always to trust your intuition. I love that things didn't delve into a relationship of any kind immediately between anyone ,it was a relieving change of pace. This one will have you wondering who the bad guy is until the very end. I 10000% recommend this book to anyone who loves a double edged sword of a book.
Really good book but I felt it was missing something at the end

Is really good, waiting for the second one to arrive
I read this series in High School
Published by Mandersss , 1 year ago
Although I was hooked on this series in high school, when I recently read it again this last year, I was hooked all over again! I am almost to my thirties now and I truly LOVED this book/series. Becca knows how to really pull you in with the characters and scenes. I remember dying to wait for when the next books came out, so it was nice to buy all of them at once and just keep going when I finished each one. I recommend this series to the hopeless romantics out there. It is fun, full of adventure, and keeps you guessing!
Such a great read!

It is very suspenseful and hard to put down once you start. It's like a massive murder mystery with multiple suspects and you are trying to piece it together.
Twilight with angels…

Favorite book as a teen!
Published by Jordandtd , 1 year ago
I had read this series when I was a teen, and I ended up losing the books along the way of living and growing up. I had to reorder and re-read these. Patch is one of my favorite characters!
Love it
Published by Wildflower , 2 years ago
This is a wonderful book series that I have read over and over again. I love the characters (aside from Vee). The plot has points that are frustrating, but it is part of the charm. It is a good read and a good but. I loved it as a high-schooler and still as an adult
fantasy romance
Published by d1020 , 2 years ago
im a sucker for a good fantasy romance and this was great. it had me buying the rest of the series after i finished this one.
Meh
Published by Elizabeth , 2 years ago
This book had too many broad details instead of fine details. I feel like it skipped around weirdly, like Fitzpatrick would write a few paragraphs about an issue, no resolution, move on the the next day. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would.
One of my favorite books!!
Published by Wolfe , 3 years ago
From the prologue itself i was already pulled in. The two main characters are written so well i could imagine them irl. I definitely recommend

Supernatural Romance
Published by Ali , 4 years ago
This book was really good, I do wish there there was a bit more to the book. I know it's the first book but I mean I'd like to know a lot of answers to some of the problems I have with the book. Honestly it's a great read and I couldnt put the book down so I deffinetly recomend it. I had a lot of good laughs but some of the book was a little cliche and I skipped one of the chapters because it just honestly made my cringe.
fell in love

I love this book! There are twists and turns on every page and the ending is shocking. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! (oh and does anyone know where I can buy a Patch?)
Amazing book!

Love this book! Was hooked right away finished it in two days! State up until 2 am to finish and it was totally worth it! Bought the series right after I finished!
I liked it
Published by willire1 , 5 years ago
A lot of people are hating on this for the weak lead character, but I thought she was nicely balanced by Patch. Is it predictable? Yes. But there are enough steamy moments and humor in it to make me turn the page. I finished this in like a day and a half and immediately ordered the remainder of the series if that helps.
Keeping it forever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
I love this book. After I read it, I needed the other books. They are all so captivating. So many twists and turns. I was gasping and laughing and just got so into the series, my husband asked if I was ok. I almost cried and smiled and at some points, I put the book down because I didn't want to know what happens next. All the books make you want to go out and buy the others. After the series I wanted to read more from this author so I picked up "black ice" which I also highly recommend.
Love

Think Twilight, but not. Definitely some themes that match but it's not exactly that. But I did love this one. Highly recommend.
Loved it!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
Read the entire book in 3 days, combined about 6 hours I’d guess. I bought them all at the same time. So I’m guessing I’ll be done with the entire series pretty quickly. Loved the first one!
One of my all time favorites!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
I love, love, love this book! This series got me into reading. (P.s. the whole series is amazing.) I wasn’t interested in reading until this beauty came into my life. Definitely get it. I would suggest 13 & up though as things can get spicy. ;)

Fitzpatrick hooks you throughout it all.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
I've always been one to love Supernatural books, you know, when they're good, and this one hit the very top of my charts. The best friend, the forbidden love, and the family drama are usually things that are in YA books. She didn't write like anyone else, and there is no one I could compare her to. She is very amazing, and imaginitive.

Amazing.

I couldn't put this book down! I ended up reading the whole series in about 2 weeks. The plot had constant twists and the characters developed well throughout the story. I never wanted the book to end!
Published by BlackRose997 , 8 years ago
I absolutely loved this book I have read it at least 5 times and i just ordered the whole series off of here. I loved the suspense and the surprises when i first read this book and i enjoy rereading it and laughing about all the little things that happen and are said from the first to the last book.
Amazing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Wow. All I can say is Wow.At first, I was very skeptical about purchasing this book. But once I did I didn't regret it. I was captured immediately during the prologue. Questions were already forming in my mind. Although it takes a while before all the secrets are revealed, it is well worth it. I kept guessing throughout the entire book. I didn't know what Patch was or who was following Nora. The last few paragraphs really wrap the whole book up. Hush Hush is a wonderful piece of work. It completely out shined twilight. It does remind me of twilight, but with a different twist and it is written much better than twilight.
Loved it!

I Want An Angel Like Patch!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Fallen Angels are the next best thing. I really enjoyed this story. It was funny, it was sexy, it had passionate crushes. It was entertaining. I loved it. The ending left me wanting for more and I want more. Things can just end that way. I think this was a great introduction to a good series. I really liked Nora's friend funny. I just loved her sense of humor. While I have to admit that sometimes Nora's impulses were a bit annoying, I have to remember that Nora is 16. I am a bit older, but I found this story great and entertaining. Patch is simply a sexy. The twists and turns were good. I can't say anything else besides the fact that I liked it.
A Satisfying Romance/Psych Thriller From Start to Finish!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I love this book! The twists and turns keep you guessing until the very end, and the author gives just enough information at a time to keep you in suspense. Part sleuthing mystery, part psychological thriller, all romance, and very transporting. I felt like I was in the deep fog of Maine the whole time. This book is a quick, easy, and satisfying read that will draw you in and leave you salivating for the sequel, Crescendo! And I'm not even a teenager, I'm a college student and immediately felt the allure of Patch. If you want a heart-pounding adventure from cover to cover, this is your book. Read it over and over.
