I didn’t know his real name.

Neither of us knew I’d get pregnant.

And I sure never expected to see him again.

Book: Hush Now, Don't You Cry

Author: Rhys Bowen

Genre: Historical Mystery/Fiction

Summary: Molly Murphy, now Molly Sullivan, and her husband, Daniel, a captain in the New York Police Department, have been invited to spend their honeymoon on the Newport, Rhode Island, estate of Alderman Brian Hannan in the spring of 1904. Molly doesn't entirely trust the offer. Hannan - an ambitious man - has his eye on a Senate seat and intentions of taking Tammany Hall to get it. When Hannan is found dead at the base of the cliffs that overlook the Atlantic, Molly's suspicions are quickly justified, and as much as she wants to keep her promise to Daniel that she won't do any more sleuthing now, there isn't much she can do once the chase is on. Rhys Bowen's brilliant wit and charm are on full display in Hush Now, Don't You Cry, another outstanding addition to her Agatha Award - and Anthony Award-winning historical series. -Minotaur Books, 2012.

Finally finished the third installment of this series! As I write every time but seriously this series is one of the most captivating series I have read in a long time. Coming back from my semi post about the book, we learned that Nora is suffering from retrograde amnesia and her memory of the past three months we completely lost. As she struggles to find herself and remember what happened, she comes to find the world of fallen angels and nephilim again. Due to her "memory loss" she had no recollection of this world, she also had no clue who Patch was. There was a time where I thought she would maybe have found him again but then it seemed it was not true. Nora would fall to her bestfriend Vee to help her put the pieces together, though we find that it seems that Vee maybe lying to Nora, and apparently Vee now hates all things guys and we do not know why. We find that Nora's nemesis Marcie Millar, her father now divorced is now seeing Nora's mother. Which by the way Hank Millar  is Nora's actual father so if you didn't know that yet just know you find in the last book Crecendo. We also discovered that Hank Millar is the Black Hand and is creating an army to stop fallen angels from possessing Nephilim during Cheshvan. Though his intentions seem logical he is quite the evil man. Hank keeping a close eye over Nora not for protective purposes because this is the man who kidnapped her and later we find out the same man who erased her memory. He took away her life and is now using her mother and her for his own plans. Nora dealing with the memory loss but with a pull to a guy she feels like she has known before, going by the name of Jev (which is Patch) but he is telling her to forget everything and live a "normal" life. She struggles with this idea, filled with thoughts of Jev and a pull to him that she cannot explain. She meets her old friend Scott though she does not recognize him at first, he is in hiding from the Black Hand. They rekindle the friendship they once had and he discloses a lot of Nora's past giving her partial memory back. They are convinced to prove that Hank is up to no good and plot against him. Let's just say they are both successful and unsuccessful.....

Through all the twists and turns of this book I really enjoyed it! Everything about this book was fantastic! There are so many things I would talk about but I would be here forever! Unlikely people become friends and all friendships/relationships are pushed to new limits. I am ready to finish this series and see how this will end!

Getting through the third book. Not as fast as I would like, mostly because like Nora I am entirely confused. I do know that the end of the Crescendo was really the answer to my questions, but Nora has "retrograde amnesia" and apparently everyone around her. No one remembers Scott or Rixon, or the events over the summer. It is so strange. I can't wait to find out what happened for the past 11 weeks that Nora was missing, and the fact she can remember up to April and not June like when she went missing. I thought she had forgotten who Patch was but just recently finished the part where she finds him and knew that she was missing him. Nora believes he is her answer to her lost memories and I feel like that is very possible!

I will admit about two years ago I was given this book on recommendation and couldn't get into at the time. So I decided it was about time to give this book a shot and I am really glad I did. We enter the story of an average everyday girl, just wanting to make it through high school in one piece. Nora Grey, our main character, we enter with her into her class biology, which the topic at hand is "Human Reproduction (sex)." We immediately meet Nora's best friend Vee Sky, who is generally not afraid to speak her mind. Within the first few pages we learn what both Nora and Vee look like, and we are also introduced to the mysterious senior class-man, Patch which she learns his name a bit later. The two best-friends sit next to each other in this biology class, it is almost the end of the school year; when their instructor Coach McConaughy decides its time for a seating chart change to really make the topic at hand more interesting. Protests given by Vee which ends unsuccessfully. Nora gets stuck with a new transfer a class mate she does not know the name of (Patch). One of my favorite descriptions was when she first meets Patch due to the seating change in the class, "a smile that was part playful, part seductive." Every time I read that line I cant help but grin (probably because he is serious bad boy material). Patch knows a lot about Nora, which is slightly creepy, especially since she has never met the new guy, until that day. We quickly learn from the conversation between Patch and Nora, that she is living with her mom and her father was murdered.

I really enjoyed this book. As you continue to read you get to basically be creeped out with Nora and wonder if she is a bit crazy, things happen but there is no proof for anyone else to see, (besides us). We go through some dangerous encounters with Nora, and basically become just as skeptical of others in the book like she is. Learning that there is more really happening, and that it is not all in her head. There are greater forces around her, fallen angels, nephilim (children born of a fallen angel and a human). We also discover there are people (fallen angels) out to kill Nora, it is a sacrifice to allow the fallen angel who kills her to become human. And yes I do mean the plural of the fallen angels, once you read (if you haven't already) you will learn who those are. There was a huge part of me as much as it seemed that I didn't want her to trust Patch, I wanted her to be with him as much as she was drawn to him. There are two more antagonist introduced to the story, Elliot and Jules (who is later known to be Chauncey, who is also a fallen angel) The only problem I had with this book was how the big climax of the ending happened. It was all so sudden and it took a brief moment for me to be like what just happened?! Though the ending was still so sudden I really did enjoy the book, and really look forward to finishing the series.
