Silence - Becca Fitzpatrick
Synopsis: The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever.
Holy Fallen Angel Wings. This book was epic. This is going to be a quick review because if I go on for too long I'm going to give things away, and that's the last thing I want to do. But you need to know that you either need to START reading this series, or KEEP reading because the third book is where it gets reallllly good.
I read Hush, Hush and Crescendo way at the beginning of the year (I have a short memory...) so I bought Silence, but couldn't quite get into it because I wasn't really able to remember what happened in previous books. I remembered over-all plots, but not the little details. So I spent my Thanksgiving break re-reading the first two books. I honestly didn't love Hush, Hush as much as I did the first time - but I still completely loved Crescendo.
Ok - quick pause - if you haven't read the series yet - it follows Nora Grey, who is a very smart girl, attempting to stay focused on school, but is dealing with the murder of her father. She has an awesome BFF, Vree, who likes to cause all kinds of trouble, but is always there for Nora. Then, of course, there's Patch, the mysterious boy who seems to have come from no where. Patch is beautiful and dangerous - the real kind of dangerous, not the fake leather wearing so I look dangerous - but the I'm going to get you killed if you hang out with me kind of dangerous. That's my quick synopsis of the series without giving anything away - oh and it's about fallen angels - which you can probably tell from the book covers.
So anyways, I re-read the first two books then dived right into Silence. And geez louise, this book took my breath away. I think that Becca Fitzpatrick really stepped it up in this book - in writing, plot and character development. The series has very apparently matured and it's gotten so wonderfully complicated that it creates the kind of tension that makes you realize you've been holding your breath - or that makes you throw your book to the ground in anger. Nora has matured so much, and she steps up in a great way in this book. She's developed into a truly independent person, which makes her stronger than a lot of YA heroines out there. And Patch is just as freaking awesome as ever - plus, we get different aspects of Patch in this book and get to know some of the deeper sides of him.
I'm so incredibly glad the series is going on. The fourth book is due out next fall - which is so long to wait, but it's going to be so worth it. This installment in the series exceeded my expectations and I'm so excited to follow Patch and Nora into the next great part of their story.
