At first I thought it was going to be just another dark fantasy romance novel. They're good, not amazing, but good. And seriously, I have never been so glad to be wrong. I fell in love with the story from the very first chapter, and it just got better from there.
Patch Cipriano is the ultimate bad boy, and he's also kinda perfect in that dark, flawed way. Let's just say he ranks on my list of Amazing Fictional Guys with Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice), Sam Roth (Shiver), and Jace Wayland (City of Bones). You'll hear more about that list later. Promise.
Anyway, we meet Patch because he is Nora Grey's lab partner. Nora is not at all happy with this arrangement, because Patch is creepy - and also strangely magnetic. She feels drawn to him in a way she can't explain and doesn't at all like. So when a man in a ski mask starts stalking her, she can't help but suspect Patch, especially when she starts hearing him in her mind. I can't say anything more without giving out any spoilers, which I absolutely refuse to do, but ohmygosh you should read this book.
And the cover! The cover is beautiful, don't you think?
So yes. I am officially in love with Patch, and I cannot WAIT to find out what happens in the sequel. According to author Becca Fitzpatrick's website and blog, the second book, CRESCENDO, is due out in fall of 2010. I can tell you right now, I'll be looking for it. ♥♥♥
That's all I've got for right now, folks, because I have two tests to study for (Chemistry and Spanish. oh the joys). But if you can get to a library (or if you are KD, SH, or someone else who knows me personally and sees me on a daily basis to borrow it from), get your hands on a copy of HUSH, HUSH. You'll be glad you did.
Much love,
Bex
