Crescendo (Hush, Hush #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick 4/5 stars

Hey, guys! I just read the sequel to Hush, Hush, Crescendo.  It was, in my opinion, much worse than the first, but still pretty good.  If you missed it, here is my review of book one!  It was worth reading it you want to check that out!
The Cover:
The Cover:
This cover shows Nora standing moodily in the rain (which is basically the gist of this book).  She's dropping a feather, probably of a fallen angel.  It's a pretty lame cover, but its not terrible.

Official Description:
Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, Marcie Millar.
Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feelings that he is hiding something.
If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.


My Review:
I really loved Hush, Hush, but Crescendo caused me to be very irritated at the characters. That plot kept going and I was very interested in the book, but Nora was perhaps that most annoying character that I've read about it a long, long time. She makes wild accusations on everyone close to her. She breaks up with Patch for basically no reason and then complains for him being around. She does not pick up on the obvious clues around her and blames seriously everything on Patch even though HE WAS INNOCENT IN EVERYTHING GOING ON!!!
I enjoyed the book but wished it was narrated by anyone other than Nora.
 I was hooked into the plot, but Nora irritated me so much that I struggled to get through the novel.  It might frustrate you, it might not, but if you like Hush, Hush, you'll probably still like Crescendo.  I'd recommend reading it if you are interested in where this story goes.


Phrase:
It must be Patch!

Happy Reading!
