This will be a short review, since, well, nothing much happened. I loved the first two books in the series ( Hush, Hush and Crescendo) but Silence was a complete let down.

Silence is the third book in the Hush, Hush series and was, unfortunately, a disappointment. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they’ve worked for–and their love–forever. They’ve overcome the secrets riddled in Patch’s dark past…bridged two irreconcilable worlds…faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust…and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. I can’t wait to see what happens in the finale of the Hush, Hush series.Publishing Info: October 2011 by Simon and Schuster There is an epic battle to come, from what I hear, and I hope it will satisfy in both action and peril. This is definitely my favorite in the series and I am happy to say it left me wanting more. She is WAY more interesting and makes funnier comments than the latter. I’d much rather have Marcie plastered all into the story than Vee. It happens-people grow up and get nicer or, I suppose, more tolerable. But the fact is, my senior year, we tolerated and talked to each other. We probably all have people we don’t like or didn’t care for in HS-I know I did. Her father is evil-of course she has a ‘tude. She, of course, has a hidden agenda, but she isn’t evil. More so in this story I feel Marcie was actually pretty decent. Yes, Marcie is a bitch, but in the past two books she honestly hasn’t been as bad as Nora previously described.

Now, I am going to go out on a VERY shaky limb here and say that I don’t get Nora’s venemous attitude toward Marcie ALL the time. So, yes, I was very happy with the lack of Vee in this installment. She is loyal, sometimes funny, yes, but she really makes the stupidest decisions and aside from helping Nora, she is totally self-centered and thinks only of numero uno. What I liked the most, though, was the lack of Vee. I have never disliked Nora, so again, Nora was cool, and it appears she has gotten a little smarter in her decisions. So I was ecstatic when I realized he had dropped the facade. Guys who are mysterious and quiet for each and every story in their series are not for me (well, that might be a lie, maybe I just couldn’t relate to Patch-whatever, moving on), Patch is finally a guy I can relate to-protective, sweet, helpful, vulnerable, and jealous. What a breath of fresh air! I was really starting to think I was never going to rate a book in this series more than 3 stars! It’s like Fitzpatrick has all these awesome, creepy ideas, but didn’t know how to execute them! Well, I am happy to say I really and truly enjoyed the third installment in the series and I’m glad I didn’t give up on it.
