Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Nora Gray is the main character in this story. She is annoying to me from the first chapter on. I never warmed to her as a character. I suppose I couldn't relate to her. I guess I just couldn't get into this one. Like the last book I read, Nora's Father died suddenly and Nora is learning to deal with the death.
Nora is trying really hard to make her normal life work. Then suddenly she is seated next to a guy named Patch in Bio class and all hell breaks out in her life. Nora is a stronger version of Bella from the Twilight series. I suppose this is why I disliked this book so much, it reminded me of Twilight a lot.
Am I asking too much when I ask that characters don't go from hostility to love in a matter of days? I have never made such a fast progression. I am not stupid enough to think I am in love after a few weeks. I really wish these type of books would stop thinking I, the reader, am retarded.
I struggled to get through this book. It was predictable from start to finish. I disliked every character. I also disliked the Fallen Angel talk without the mention of a God. Don't get me wrong, I am not even close to religious but I think if you have religion in your book you either have to have a clear explanation of the theology you are babbling about or pick a generic one that people already know. I found myself thinking back to what I know of Fallen Angels in a variety of contexts and this story didn't really jive with any of them and there wasn't further discussion other than mentioning a heaven.

I would recommend this book to people who want mind numbing cliched predictable crap. Basically, this might be a good read by the pool since you really don't have to pay attention to it very much.
