Fitzpatrick, Becca. Hush, Hush. New York City: Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing, 2009. 391 pages. (Thriller / Romance)Nora Grey lives in a farmhouse with her mother, never had a boyfriend, and is best friends with Vee. This is how it’s always been. Little does she know, a switch in the biology seating chart will put all that at risk.
Home alone one night, Nora wakes up to find a shadowy figure outside her bedroom window. The next day she hits a man in a ski mask with her friend’s car, but when she tries to show her friend the damage, it’s gone. The more strange things that happen, the more Nora feels weary of her new biology partner, Patch. He seems to know more about her than her closest friend and the more distance she tries to put between them, the more she feels herself being pulled in. When her mind fails her more than once, she begins to think she is going crazy. Determined to find out more of Patch’s past, she confronts him. The answers she receives will be enough to make her never want to be near Patch again, but that’s not quite what he has in mind.
This book was phenomenal! It was suspenseful and completely unpredictable. One thing I really liked was that it led you to believe one thing, and then the story took a completely different turn. I really liked the characters and how they were all so different from each other. One thing I feel I should mention is that this book reminded me a lot of Twilight. It had a similar character plot and the feeling of danger was much the same, but the romance was flip flopped. It started as a thriller, but sort of swerved toward romance, so it was very interesting! A great read, I finished it in less than a week!
