Title: SILENCE (Hush, Hush #3)
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genre: YA (Urban Fantasy), Paranormal, Romance
Why did I read the book: Fast-Paced and exciting with multiple plot twists and a crazy cliffhanger ending that left me wanting more, Becca Fitzpatrick’s Crescendo urged me to take up the third book.The moment I put down Crescendo I started reading Silence and finished it overnight!
First thought came in Mind: WHEN SILENCE IS ALL THAT'S LEFT, CAN THE TRUTH FINALLY BE HEARD?
The Plot:
Nora Grey can't remember the past five months of her life. After the initial shock of waking up in a cemetery and being told that she has been missing for weeks - with no one knowing where she was or who she was with - she tried to get her life back on track. Go to school, hang out with her best friend, Vee, and dodge mom's creepy new boyfriend.
As Nora pieces parts of the puzzle together, it became more and more entertaining. She really tries to take matters into her own hands and is determined to do so, regardless of what her mom says.
Key characters make noteworthy appearances. Scott Parnell is on the run from Hank and his Nephilim army. He seeks Nora's help by climbing through her bedroom window in the middle of the night angling an invitation as her date to the upcoming homecoming dance. The relation between them grows well enough to be called best friends.
“Fine! I'll throw on some clothes. Turn around. I'm in my pj's"
Detective Basso is the first to discover Nora wandering in a cemetery months after her abduction, although she faints when he approaches her. Marcie Millar is no stranger to making Nora's life a living hell, but while acting as Hank's puppet she attempts to form an alliance with Nora even taking her dress shopping.
Patch is still in Silence and Nora spends most of the book drawn to him, but she's not sure why. Once she realizes her connection to him, things pick up again.
“In the end, the only thing between us was silence.” The spotlight remains on the deepening relationship of Patch and Nora. For the first time, Patch is solidly committed to making it work with Nora despite the odds.
“You're mine, Angel. And I'm yours. Nothing can change that.”
He has made the decision that she is his destiny and he will let nothing stand in the way of their love for each other. He has gone from a boy's passing interest to a man's fully developed attachment to the woman he loves.
Oh God. Patch never fails to let me imagine his Black, sexy eyes and his hot body. Every time he was described I smile and get this particular picture n mind who I assume was my version of Patch. If only I could draw well and share him to you guys, you would have drooled. He is THAT hot!
“I couldn't look at you and breathe at the same time.”
And oh, I can’t stop thinking about Patch’s chamber, his house, his secret loom. The way it was described, it seems to have given you full-time privacy and no one has ever gotten inside. His silk bed sheets and how amazing Nora told us his mattress was some kind of a dreamland, I guess.
“I wanted to imprint his touch, his taste, even the scent of him so solidly inside me that no one could take them away from me.”
The humor and wits ofPatch Jev is same as the first two books.
“Jev stroked his chin. "Do I look like a summer fling?”
Before the book ended, Nora got her ring from her father and Patch engraved their names on it: NORA and JEV.
Fitzpatrick has an engaging writing style with great character development- not only the main characters but also some of the side-kicks like Vee, Scott and Marcie. But what makes me turn the pages rapidly; reading late into the night is the suspense and being one step behind of what is to come. Even though it is written in first POV, Becca finds a way to leave the reader hanging until the very end. Even if Patch and Nora coming together seems predictable the journey there is always exciting and just when you think that they can live happily ever after another cliff-hanger will leave you bubbling with frustration until the next title.
Nora is generally an independent girl with a good head on her shoulders. Following her kidnapping, she tries to come to terms with her amnesia and demonstrates strength in doing so. Some part of her longs for Patch, even though she does not actually remember him. When the two are reunited, there are quite a few passionate embraces, but Nora is not ready to complicate their relationship with sex. The story involves lots of action and fantasy violence, and it turns out that Nora's real father is the same man who is responsible for kidnapping, harming, and threatening her life. In the end, Nora tries to spare his life in spite of what he has done to her and her mother, but shoots him when left with no alternative. Language is present but relatively mild (b-stard, pr-ck, d-uche bag). Fans will look forward to the final installment in the series, Finale.

Go to school, hang out with her best friend, Vee, and dodge mom's creepy new boyfriend.
But there is
this voice in the back of her head, an idea that she can almost reach out and
touch. Visions of angel wings and unearthly creatures that have nothing to do
with the life she knows.
And this
unshakable feeling that a part of her is missing.
Then Nora
crosses paths with a sexy stranger, whom she feels a mesmerizing connection to.
He seems to hold all the answers...and her heart. Every minute she spends with
him grows more and more intense until she realizes she could be falling in
love. Again.
My review:(Spoiler alert)
The third book of the Hush Hush series starts with Nora waking up in the middle of a cemetery. She doesn't know how she’s got there, and she knows she should trust no one. It turns out that she’s been missing for the past five months, no one knew where she was—and that includes Nora herself. She can’t remember anything that happened since April—besides the fact that she disappeared in June, which she thinks it’s odd. If her amnesia was caused by something that happened while she was kept as a hostage—the police believes she’s been kidnapped, why she can’t remember things from before the incident then?As Nora pieces parts of the puzzle together, it became more and more entertaining. She really tries to take matters into her own hands and is determined to do so, regardless of what her mom says.
Key characters make noteworthy appearances. Scott Parnell is on the run from Hank and his Nephilim army. He seeks Nora's help by climbing through her bedroom window in the middle of the night angling an invitation as her date to the upcoming homecoming dance. The relation between them grows well enough to be called best friends.
“Fine! I'll throw on some clothes. Turn around. I'm in my pj's"
"I'm a guy. That's like asking a
kid not to glance at the candy counter.”
Patch is still in Silence and Nora spends most of the book drawn to him, but she's not sure why. Once she realizes her connection to him, things pick up again.
“In the end, the only thing between us was silence.” The spotlight remains on the deepening relationship of Patch and Nora. For the first time, Patch is solidly committed to making it work with Nora despite the odds.
“You're mine, Angel. And I'm yours. Nothing can change that.”
He has made the decision that she is his destiny and he will let nothing stand in the way of their love for each other. He has gone from a boy's passing interest to a man's fully developed attachment to the woman he loves.
“I missed you, Angel. Not one day
went by that I didn't feel you missing from my life.'
For Nora's sake, it's about time. Patch has finally realized the full breadth of his feelings for her. “I learned that I was either crazy in
love with you, or putting on the best performance of my life.'
Overall, an angel loses his wings finally proving the devotion of his love.
“I would lay down everything I
possess, even my soul, for you. If that isn't love, it's the best I have.”
Oh God. Patch never fails to let me imagine his Black, sexy eyes and his hot body. Every time he was described I smile and get this particular picture n mind who I assume was my version of Patch. If only I could draw well and share him to you guys, you would have drooled. He is THAT hot!

“I wanted to imprint his touch, his taste, even the scent of him so solidly inside me that no one could take them away from me.”
The humor and wits of
“Jev stroked his chin. "Do I look like a summer fling?”
And...
“Hate to disappoint, but no feathers. I came
to Earth stripped naked.”
And..
“I need to brush my teeth. And I
need a shower."
He grinned, hopping off the bike.
"Now that is an invitation.”
Before the book ended, Nora got her ring from her father and Patch engraved their names on it: NORA and JEV.
Compared to the previous books, Silence has a happy note and Love triumphs above all.
“Stay with me tonight. Let me hold
you even if that's all it is. Let me keep you safe.”

Notable Quotes:
- “The truth is scary, but knowing nothing is crippling.”
- “Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering.”
Rating: My rating for Silence is 3 stars out of 5.
