0 {A} Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2 of 3+) by Becca Fitzpatrick

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick


Okay, just read the last page and COME ON! Another twisted cliff hanger? NO! The next installment isn't due out till Oct. 18, 2011. I really shouldn't read a series until all the books are out. I just can't take it. I hate waiting a year to see how things turn out.  UGH!


Some people rag that this series is a Twilight knockoff, but I disagree.  (I'm trying not to leave spoilers below)

• Nora creates drama.  The author seemed to be trying a bit too hard not have her NOT be a spineless clingy girlfriend, but I wanted to yell at her at times to not be so gullible or create so much drama.
• Patch is "the bad boy Edward wishes he was".  One one side he is tempting (hottie), but on the other hand why does Nora like him so much?  I think I need to reread the first book for that.
• I wanted to kick Marcie's bully bum (until the very end).  No spoilers here, but I am really looking forward to her story continuing in the next book. 
• Vee is major comic relief. I laughed at/with her so many times, but she did feel a bit hollow.  Like a side-kick, which I guess she is.  Still, I wanted to know more about her feelings, history, ect.
• Don't get me started on Nora's mom.  She has a lot of explaining to do in the next book. 

Yeah, the characters and plot aren't real life, but hey this is a fun fantasy story set in high school. In 'Hush, Hush' I groaned at the end; it was a bit much to take...somewhat overdone. However, this installment was much better that way. I read it in one day and didn't want to put it down.
(As of a month ago, Becca didn't know if book #3, "Tempest", will be the last book in the series)
