So in my anticipation of
Crescendo, the sequel to
Hush Hush, I decided to make a list of some of my reasons why I'm in-love with the book. Don't worry for those who haven't read it, my list won't spoil anything. And hopefully will get you to be interested to read it. :)
1.
Story
It's the kind of story that grows on you. At first I was lost but eventually it sank on me and well, never left me. It was the first story about fallen angels that I have encountered and I loved it! And the mystery and the tension is just right to make you want more.
2.
Becca Fitzpatrick
Becca is really nice. I haven't had the chance to meet her in person (global positioning problem) but starting from the interaction in the forum, chats, blog and tweets I can say she is. She really did a fantastic job in writing Hush, Hush. It's no wonder there's Crescendo and a third one,
Tempest. Because she clearly deserve to share her writing to the world, and her work is loved.
3.
Fanbase (fellow Nephilims)
After I got hooked with Hush, Hush I stumbled upon FallenArchangel and its forum where I met some awesome fellow Nephilims. It's where I first discovered some of the books that I've fallen in-love with after Hush, Hush, and was introduced to other forums such as MundieMoms. The admins, Jenn and Rebecca are awesome in what they've started and still doing for the fans.
4.
Book Covers
Aaahh...the book covers! the first one was awesome! I think no one will disagree with me on that. James Porto did a fantastic job on it. As a fellow Nephilim once said, "boys without shirts on the cover is love." lol. And Crescendo's cover is as captivating it makes you want to pick up the book too even without any shirtless guys on. lol.
5.
Nora
Nora is no love-at-first-sight girl. She's critical and has clear ideas on what she wants and probably how to get there. That is until she met Patch. :p She can be kick-ass too and I love it when despite feeling afraid, she tries to overcome it.
6.
Patch - bringing sexy back
Patch can set the pages on fire. I was unaware I was fanning myself as I was reading the book when he's on it with Nora. No wonder Nora feels a bit thrown-off with Patch. The looks are just tip of the iceberg with Patch.
7.
Feisty best friend and an Irish mate
Vee is such a wonderful character! I love her. She's funny and the right kind of fun that complement with that of Nora's criticalness. What better way to deal with a school-bitch than having a fiesty best-friend with you.
Then there's Rixon! Although he has little exposure in the book, I really adore him! Aside from being Irish and a fellow fallen angel, Patch finds a friend in him and he seems to be a very interesting character too. I hope we get to see more of him. And what's a badass got to do without a partner-in-crime? :p

9.
Mystery baddie
Patch is supposedly bad - very bad for Nora. But it turns out that there are others who have plans for her.
10.
Team Angels
There was no question after reading
Hush, Hush that I am on
Team Angels. The take-on the fallen angels are refreshing, so to say the least.
I think after reading Hush, Hush my book numbers went up to like 90% in less than 2 months. Crazy but true. Looking back it's really a wonder the events that led me to reading again with a little help from some angels, awesome authors, and fellow readers.
