I do not have enough good things to say about this book. An excellent debut in the supernatural young adult market from author Becca Fitzpatrick. Hush, Hush hits shelves October, 13th 2009. Mark your calendars and add this one to your wishlist!
Take a look at the first few chapters online here, and you can see that the book has a bit of a Twilight feel to it. The two leading characters meet in Biology lab, the fallen angel meets the headstrong girl that lives a little bit left of center. That being said, the book is not at all a Twilight "rip-off". While there are absolutely parallels, the story is actually quite different, and very exciting.
I have never read a supernatural book about a fallen angel. I enjoyed getting to know the lore behind the fallen angels and other supernaturals associated with them. These past few years have been all about Vampires, and this has been a refreshing change of pace.
Check out the trailer below, you can see that there is a love story featured in the book. I like the length of time the story takes to develop, its nice to see characters take some time to become comfortable with each other. With so much love at first sight in supernatural books, its exciting to see a potential love story flirting with fruition.
There are some really exciting action sequences in the novel. They gave a bit of a "Final Destination" vibe to me. The story was well paced with just the right amount of action to keep interest peaked.
I see the potential for sequels to Hush, Hush. I would be the first person in line to find out what happens next in this excellent storyline. Not to be missed.
