Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

This is the sequel to Hush, Hush.

Summary:

Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

My Review: 3 of 5 stars

I'm very generous with my stars, and while I liked this story Nora drives me nuts! She makes stupid decisions and won't let Patch explain or tell her what's going on. It always kills me when girls in books make dumb decisions over and over again. I usually scream at them (yes, out loud). The storyline is good, but I thought it was a bit obvious. But the ending is a cliffhanger and now I can't wait to find out what's next!
