I absolutely adore 'Crescendo'—it’s the second book in the 'Hush, Hush' series by Becca Fitzpatrick, and it dives deeper into the messy, supernatural romance between Nora Grey and Patch. The story picks up after the events of the first book, with Nora struggling to reconcile her feelings for Patch, who’s now her guardian angel. But things get complicated when Patch starts acting distant, and Nora begins to suspect he’s hiding something. Meanwhile, she’s haunted by visions of her dead father and starts investigating his mysterious past, uncovering dark secrets that tie back to Nephilim and
Fallen Angels. The tension between Nora and Patch is electric, but the book also introduces a new character, Scott, who adds a layer of jealousy and danger. The plot thickens with betrayal, hidden motives, and a cliffhanger that leaves you desperate for the next book.
What really stood out to me was how Fitzpatrick weaves together themes of trust and identity. Nora’s journey isn’t just about romance; it’s about her grappling with her own agency in a world where everyone seems to have an agenda. The pacing is relentless, with twists that kept me up way past bedtime. And that ending? Pure agony in the best way—I immediately grabbed 'Silence' because I couldn’t stand not knowing what happened next.
