Hush, Hush

by Becca Fitzpatrick

Book Overview

Nora finds forbidden love with her fallen angel, in the first in the New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment...

Customer Reviews

My favorite teen boom

I was wondering in a book store when I saw this book, it got my attention, I was 15 and I was really into supernatural stuff. From 2010 til 2024 I think I’ve read this book over 20 times, it’s my comfort book, it’s the book that I use to escape. I definitely recommend. The whole series is very good, but the first book is the best.

If you love supernatural books this is series is for you!

If you love "forbidden Love" & "supernaturals" this is for you. If you love "guys who will do anything to protect her" type of books this is for you! I really enjoyed this book.

Lived this book growing up

Great young adult book

An awesome re-read.

Depending on how much I like a book is how fast I'll read it. I've re-read this series for about 6 years and it seriously makes me feel like I'm reading it for the first time every time. I read this in about a day each time ,I can never willingly put it down. On a serious note it helped me with some things in my life for me to escape into a different world when I needed it, this book helped me realize that my mind can be trusted and that people lie even for the smallest things, always to trust your intuition. I love that things didn't delve into a relationship of any kind immediately between anyone ,it was a relieving change of pace. This one will have you wondering who the bad guy is until the very end. I 10000% recommend this book to anyone who loves a double edged sword of a book.

Really good book but I felt it was missing something at the end

Is really good, waiting for the second one to arrive

I read this series in High School

Although I was hooked on this series in high school, when I recently read it again this last year, I was hooked all over again! I am almost to my thirties now and I truly LOVED this book/series. Becca knows how to really pull you in with the characters and scenes. I remember dying to wait for when the next books came out, so it was nice to buy all of them at once and just keep going when I finished each one. I recommend this series to the hopeless romantics out there. It is fun, full of adventure, and keeps you guessing!

Such a great read!

It is very suspenseful and hard to put down once you start. It's like a massive murder mystery with multiple suspects and you are trying to piece it together.

Twilight with angels…

This really is not very good.

Favorite book as a teen!

I had read this series when I was a teen, and I ended up losing the books along the way of living and growing up. I had to reorder and re-read these. Patch is one of my favorite characters!

Love it

This is a wonderful book series that I have read over and over again. I love the characters (aside from Vee). The plot has points that are frustrating, but it is part of the charm. It is a good read and a good but. I loved it as a high-schooler and still as an adult

fantasy romance

im a sucker for a good fantasy romance and this was great. it had me buying the rest of the series after i finished this one.

Meh

This book had too many broad details instead of fine details. I feel like it skipped around weirdly, like Fitzpatrick would write a few paragraphs about an issue, no resolution, move on the the next day. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would.

One of my favorite books!!

From the prologue itself i was already pulled in. The two main characters are written so well i could imagine them irl. I definitely recommend

No cover

I love this book like I read it in high school and fell in love with it. I was sad though the book came plain and did not come with a cover of the picture of the book. If this makes sense I don’t like a naked book and I was expecting to get a very good book with the cover. Still excited though to reread it.

Goodwill Dump

Haven't even read it yet, but I bought the "Very Good" version of this and it was COVERED in goodwill stickers, along with the cover being completely creased. If I wanted a junk version I would've ordered that....

Hush Hush

I haven’t read this book yet it’s in my tbr but it came very fast and with no defects!

Great book!

Great book to add to you reading list!

Like new

I love this book! I wouldn’t call the quality of the book like new, but based of there definition it does.

Supernatural Romance

This book was really good, I do wish there there was a bit more to the book. I know it's the first book but I mean I'd like to know a lot of answers to some of the problems I have with the book. Honestly it's a great read and I couldnt put the book down so I deffinetly recomend it. I had a lot of good laughs but some of the book was a little cliche and I skipped one of the chapters because it just honestly made my cringe.

fell in love

loved the plot, a cute but also deep romance

Get this book

I chugged a redbull and finished it in six hours. It was bombbbbb. Get this book bro.

Read the entire series after 😂😂

An amazing book. Could not put down!

Great Book!

I love this book! There are twists and turns on every page and the ending is shocking. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! (oh and does anyone know where I can buy a Patch?)

Amazing book!

Love this book! Was hooked right away finished it in two days! State up until 2 am to finish and it was totally worth it! Bought the series right after I finished!

I liked it

A lot of people are hating on this for the weak lead character, but I thought she was nicely balanced by Patch. Is it predictable? Yes. But there are enough steamy moments and humor in it to make me turn the page. I finished this in like a day and a half and immediately ordered the remainder of the series if that helps.

Keeping it forever

I love this book. After I read it, I needed the other books. They are all so captivating. So many twists and turns. I was gasping and laughing and just got so into the series, my husband asked if I was ok. I almost cried and smiled and at some points, I put the book down because I didn't want to know what happens next. All the books make you want to go out and buy the others. After the series I wanted to read more from this author so I picked up "black ice" which I also highly recommend.

Love

Think Twilight, but not. Definitely some themes that match but it's not exactly that. But I did love this one. Highly recommend.

Loved it!

Read the entire book in 3 days, combined about 6 hours I’d guess. I bought them all at the same time. So I’m guessing I’ll be done with the entire series pretty quickly. Loved the first one!

One of my all time favorites!

I love, love, love this book! This series got me into reading. (P.s. the whole series is amazing.) I wasn’t interested in reading until this beauty came into my life. Definitely get it. I would suggest 13 & up though as things can get spicy. ;)

I totally fell in love with this book right away. i finished it in a day.

Fitzpatrick hooks you throughout it all.

I've always been one to love Supernatural books, you know, when they're good, and this one hit the very top of my charts. The best friend, the forbidden love, and the family drama are usually things that are in YA books. She didn't write like anyone else, and there is no one I could compare her to. She is very amazing, and imaginitive.

Amazing.

I couldn't put this book down! I ended up reading the whole series in about 2 weeks. The plot had constant twists and the characters developed well throughout the story. I never wanted the book to end!

I absolutely loved this book I have read it at least 5 times and i just ordered the whole series off of here. I loved the suspense and the surprises when i first read this book and i enjoy rereading it and laughing about all the little things that happen and are said from the first to the last book.

Amazing

Wow. All I can say is Wow.At first, I was very skeptical about purchasing this book. But once I did I didn't regret it. I was captured immediately during the prologue. Questions were already forming in my mind. Although it takes a while before all the secrets are revealed, it is well worth it. I kept guessing throughout the entire book. I didn't know what Patch was or who was following Nora. The last few paragraphs really wrap the whole book up. Hush Hush is a wonderful piece of work. It completely out shined twilight. It does remind me of twilight, but with a different twist and it is written much better than twilight.

Loved it!

Nora Gray lost her father, he was murdered while shopping for her mother. Her mother now works a lot and his gone at least one week a month which leaves Nora alone in their old farm house. Her life is pretty normal though. Except one day her Biology teacher decides to change the seating chart and she winds up sitting next to Patch the mysterious new kid. Nora isn't thrilled she'd rather be sitting back with her best friend Vee. Patch isn't very cooperative either in their projects together. But the ends up being the least of her worries. Now that she knows Patch she ends up seeing him everywhere. She thinks he might be following her. All these crazy things start to happen. She is attacked while driving by a man in a mask and totals her car except when she goes to show someone its suddenly fixed. Someone breaks into her house and trashes it but when the police arrive its in perfect condition. She thinks she might be losing her mind. Everything is warning her away from Patch. But she is drawn to him. Her best friend the new school psychiatrist even tells her he is bad news. Vee even thinks he attacked her. But Nora still wants to say its the nice guy she met that may be doing this. Even though she is falling for Patch she doesn't trust him at all. She is always on her guard with him even when he being irresistible. In the end though you find out who and what he is and why is there? Then you either you trust him or you don't!!

I Want An Angel Like Patch!

Fallen Angels are the next best thing. I really enjoyed this story. It was funny, it was sexy, it had passionate crushes. It was entertaining. I loved it. The ending left me wanting for more and I want more. Things can just end that way. I think this was a great introduction to a good series. I really liked Nora's friend funny. I just loved her sense of humor. While I have to admit that sometimes Nora's impulses were a bit annoying, I have to remember that Nora is 16. I am a bit older, but I found this story great and entertaining. Patch is simply a sexy. The twists and turns were good. I can't say anything else besides the fact that I liked it.

A Satisfying Romance/Psych Thriller From Start to Finish!

I love this book! The twists and turns keep you guessing until the very end, and the author gives just enough information at a time to keep you in suspense. Part sleuthing mystery, part psychological thriller, all romance, and very transporting. I felt like I was in the deep fog of Maine the whole time. This book is a quick, easy, and satisfying read that will draw you in and leave you salivating for the sequel, Crescendo! And I'm not even a teenager, I'm a college student and immediately felt the allure of Patch. If you want a heart-pounding adventure from cover to cover, this is your book. Read it over and over.
