the day i went book reviewing

It’s my first time to write my own opinion on books I have happened to read. But where to begin? See, I haven’t been as much of a wide reader as I ought to be to entitle me to write this, but, here we go.

Currently, I have only read some fifty-three books, going fifty-five (if I could finish them both) and it only covers the popular teen series, a few fiction and a few couple of classics. The only thing that gives me the right to write this is the fact that I love books and reading.

For those who are sick of fictitious creatures falling in love with your regular human beings, then I’m sorry if you’ll have to bear with me for a bit here. At least for the first couple of times, then I'll try to reduce them as we go on. Anyway, shall we?

 

CRESCENDO

The latest instalment released by Becca Fitzpatrick in her Hush, Hush series. Girls who have fallen in love with the sexy and mysterious hot ex-fallen-angel-now-turned-guardian-angel, Patch Cipriano aka Jev (You have to read it through so you would see it) would know this book (and probably waited for months prior to its release), as well as those who felt they relate to Nora Grey.

A continuation of the story we all first read from Hush, Hush, Nora ploughed for answers about her father’s death, not to mention her growing feelings for her guardian angel, Patch, and the worsening situation between her and her arch enemy Marcie Millar.

After telling Patch she loved him (more the she should, according to her), Patch skedaddled and was not heard by Nora until Marcie told her she saw Patch standing outside her house and looking at her window, (good way to rub it in, Marcie). I saw Patch and Nora going down the hill after that. I had hoped my prediction was going to fail, but it didn’t. When Patch refused to answer Nora directly (telling her whatever was between him and Marcie is purely business) and gave her the ‘archangel’ business thing, and Nora thinking of avoiding Patch being sent to hell, she fired him as her boyfriend and guardian angel. (Never thought you could fire your guardian angel. That’s new.)

There were a lot of things going on in the book all at the same time but of course the main focus was Nora and her worsening dilemma with Patch, Marcie, her dad’s death, and her returning neighbour, Scotty (the Potty before, but now, the Hotty) whom she suspects to be a nephilim (which was confirmed by Patch later when they met at the Z). If that wasn’t enough, she was puzzled by the Black Hand, not to mention some crackpot has been pretending to be her dad, whispering in her mind during dangerous, if not deadly, situation.

For readers (who didn’t peek at the last chapter to find out what happened with the story), they might take guesses on who the Black Hand is or what might happen at the end of the book, some might guess it right, some may guess it wrong. (as for me, I cheated: I peeked at the last chapter). I know, I know, it was so lame of me to do that. But the story just wants you to discover more about the story and sometimes, the pull is too strong that you couldn’t just ignore feeling the pages of the last chapter (and then, give in altogether and read it). I wasn’t expecting the ending to be that soon, though. The way Becca ended the last chapter made me wish the third novel is at hand already. <3


I'll try to update later, when I've sorted my reviews. Ciao :)
