Put down your pitchforks people. Yes I know hush hush is like a big deal and I m digging my grave by going against it but what can I do when I can’t stop myself from seeing the stark similarity between twilight and Hush Hush series. Its practically begging me to rip it apart.

The prologue is what misleads me every time. In the first book too, it was the prologue that captivated me and then the rest of the story actually fizzled out and same goes with the second book as well. I can’t help myself from saying that Hush Hush is following twilight blindly. 
How? Lets take the first book, Hush Hush. 

The first book is where our characters meet in the science lab(*cough* Edward- Bella-bio lab *cough ) 


and they start a love hate relationship (*cough * Edward-bella- jungle-confrontation- say it say it loud…who am i?...say it…you are a vampire *cough* ) 


and at the end there is a huge fight and patch comes to our girl’s rescue (*cough* Edward rescuing Bella from James *cough*) 


( so bloody twilight). 

Second book, which is this one sees how both of them separate for the benefit of each other ( *eye rolling* Edward leaving Bella for her safety *eye rolling, cough, anger attack*) 


and spends the entire book whining in their own misery and at the end a big twist and they get back together ( *again eye rolling *) 


(so new moon). 

Now tell me, how am I supposed to fully imbibe the book when I can’t stop comparing. 

Plot. Where was it? seems like nobody invited it or that it was late for the party since the only place where an actual development takes place is towards the very end and mind you, it was pretty impressive compared to the rest of the vapid plot which only sees a whining female character. is it me or really the female character needed a good old whack in the head ? Reading 400 page of whining and I was barely restraining myself from hitting myself or getting inside the book and grabbing the female character by her hair and give some of my special “kiss with the fist” advice into her big thick head ( I m sorry Becca and Nora fans). Ask my anger management program colleagues as to how effective my “kiss with the fist” advises are. They all have a big bump on their forehead to show the effectiveness. 

Normally I do not comment on the behavioral pattern of the characters of a book and only stick to discussing the general plot and language and technicalities since every person is different and every book cannot carry characters that possess the qualities that you would like to see. It is the different characters and nature that you see and read, makes reading books so effective and interesting. So I personally never feel worthwhile discussing how a character should have behaved or done in a particular situation UNTIL NOW.

The female protagonist possessed one of those traits that I hate in any person. Adamant and always looking at one side of the coin and taking decisions that is never in favor of others or herself but strictly made to inflict pain in the name of stupid altruism and that’s what the character kept doing throughout the book, making me want to kill someone 

i found this one more cheesy than the cheese itself. i know hush hush is a world phenomenon but somehow this book never even attempts a tiny bit to impresses me. I did a passable job with hush hush in spite of finding it a fallen angel version of twilight. But crescendo just kept stretching it without an actual plot. But having said that will I try the third book? I don’t know. Maybe yes. Because the second book kind of stops at an interesting point.

The whole book is in its first two pages which is the prologue and the very last two chapters when the story picks and dies leaving you at a cliffhanger and the middle of this entire 400-500 page book is simple whining and useless banters brought on by the imbecile acts of the female character. I felt this book is nothing but a mere copy of twilight and had nothing new to offer but still if you want to know why this is such a big phenomenon, give it a try and if you find your answer do let me know as well.

Hush Hush series is written by Becca Fitzpatrick and it consists of 4 sequels.

Hush Hush is probably one of my top favorite series, it has a mysterious vibe into it but a captivating storyline which would likely make you want to delve into it and know more.

When I started reading the first sequel, it was kind of complicated to comprehend what was actually going on especially in the beginning because there were scenes that would make you question certain things like what Cheshvan means and why was this occasion significant for the fallen angels? However, as the story goes everything would make sense and clear eventually. It took me not even a day to finish the first book, not to brag about it but the characters was what made me feel really attached to this story and so caught up. I really like how this story started off really compelling and continued to be more intense and suspenseful considering Nora's curiosity of Patch's history and his life and being haunted by mysterious and dark occurrences that caused her to suspect what Patch is really hiding.

Other than that, I love how Patch displays a very charismatic and irresistible role which would absolutely make any girl swoon for him with the exception of Nora at the beginning since Nora is not the type of girl who would fall easily for someone which is one of the most admirable thing about her and as much as she tries hard not to develop feelings towards Patch she finds it impossible to avoid him since he always appears everywhere she goes.

I did love all the sequels but I had some mixed feelings about Crescendo, I was really frustrated when Nora acted overly sensitive and misjudged Patch without knowing what was truly going on. She overly reacted and went too far, being impulsive without considering Patch's perspective and his feeling which kind of irked me. This prevented me to focus straight on other major things that was happening throughout the story, worrying if and when Nora and Patch would settle their complications with each other.

In the 3rd book which is "Silence", Nora finds herself in the cemetery without remembering a single thing which leads her into deep curiosity, desperate to search for her missing past of what happened to her before she found herself lying in the cemetery.  The story was so far alright, I have to admit I prefer it better than the 2nd book, I like how things were at fast and smoother pace and things got more exciting as the main characters faced dangerous situations in their lives and they needed to make the right decision in order to overcome the set of obstacles that thwarts their mission. 

Finally, the last book which is called "Finale" got me feeling emotional towards some  scenes and I felt quite anxious in how the story is going to conclude. But overall, it provided lots of suspense and a thrilling plot in which the major characters are fraught with peril.

Nora needed to handle the pressure that's kinda outweighed her especially when she's expected to choose a side between her kind which is the nephilim or stand by her boyfriend's side who is a fallen angel. And other than that, she needs to find a way to stop the war without breaking her oath which can outcome her life to death.

I was also impressed in how Nora was finally manage to master her own abilities with the help of people who are willing to stand and fight by her side especially Patch and her friends Scott and Vee to win and stop the war that's expected to occur on Cheshvan. They need to come up with a plan and decide wisely in how they can prevent war from happening and store peace between the nephilims and fallen angels.

Overall, the whole series was enthralling and I really enjoyed it. I would highly suggest it to anyone who's a big fan of fallen angels or paranormal fantasy stuffs.
