A SACRED OATH
A FALLEN ANGEL
A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems 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 she 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 Nora her life

Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick will be our first GBR for December 2015.

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ Patch is a loser. Am not a fan. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ Miss Greene is so creepy and weird and I don't know why she is obsessed with Patch, but she's got some really bad vibes going on. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25: (view spoiler)[ Okay, I definitely like Patch a lot more now. He is still annoying and rude, but he does have another side to him. Definitely not my favourite YA love interest of all time, but I don't hate him any more at least! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ That ending felt a bit abrupt, and everything worked out almost too perfectly... I think Jude is probably not dead, but I'll have to read the next book to see. Hopefully there's more character development in the next book too, this one didn't have much at all. (hide spoiler)]

10% (view spoiler)[ I like patch….mysterious (hide spoiler)]
About 30% in (view spoiler)[ so not sure about elliott but I'm sure patch is good in some way (hide spoiler)]
About 50% in (view spoiler)[ I knew that was something I didn’t like about Elliott. I truly think he was the one in her room, either that or it was patch and he was trying to help in some way. (hide spoiler)]
About 75% in (view spoiler)[ WTF Elliott is crazy! Who puts their hands on a girl. Messed up. And Vi made me mad for not sticking up for Nora and brushing it off. Not okay (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 1-17

(view spoiler)[ Ughh, I hate it when the MC is kept in the dark and everyone is keeping secrets from her. I like Patch. He’d dark and mysterious. He seems good. Unlike Elliot and Miss Greene. Elliot gives me the creeps. And Miss Greene is definitely not who she says she is. And why didn’t Nora ask her how she knew she invited Patch to her house?? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[ Vee is really ticking me off. She's constantly taking Elliots side over Nora. He came to her house drunk and was physically violent, and her bestfriend is all "Oh he didn't mean it. Let's go party so I can hook up with the best friend". No, just no. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24

(view spoiler)[ Excuse me. What??? Patch wanted to kill her, and she doesn't ask why? instead she asks if Dabria was his girlfriend. What the hell. Good priorities you got there Nora. And then she decides to still go off with him! I can't see how Patch went to wanting to kill her to wanting to be with her in a minute.
(I still like Patch though)
Oh! I wonder who beated Marcie up.
(hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ There were sooo many things that didn’t get explained properly. Why did Jules need Elliot? Jules is half angel, he’s got powers. Why team up with a human high schooler? And why didn’t Nora find it unsettling that Patch planned to kill her at first? She didn’t even ask him anything about it at first! She just wanted to know if Dabria was his girlfriend 🙄 Like I’m sorry? If I found out he was planning on killing me I would’ve gotten the hell out of there. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I agree, there was pretty much no character development or depth. It’s sucks, because I probably would’ve liked it more if there had been. (hide spoiler)]
