Silence

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing series! I have never been so invested in a book series before. The story pulled me in right away and I couldn’t put it down. Every book kept me hooked and excited to see what would happen next. The characters and plot are fantastic! Shipping was also incredibly fast, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend buying this series from Amazon!

I read the first book because of all the hype, I read the second book because I figured it had to be better than the first book (350 pages of nothing and 50 pages of action at the end), and I read the third book because I had already invested two books into the series and might as well finish it. Imagine my surprise when Silence was actually the best in Becca Fitzpatrick's series! Nora has been kidnapped. When she wakes up in a graveyard, she doesn't realize how long she has been gone or what has happened to her. She was kidnapped in June, but she has lost everything that happened from April to September when she was found. When she returns home, she finds her mother is now dating Hank Millar- Nora's archenemy Marcie's father. She also gets the feeling people are keeping things from her. Her mother and best friend aren't telling her the entire truth about her life before the kidnapping, but she doesn't know who to trust until Scott Parnell returns. The Nephilim fills her in on the fallen angels and the war with the Nephilim whom the angels possess two weeks out of every year. Nora knows she is somehow involved in the situation, but she isn't sure how. She also know the stranger Jev is someone she has met in the past, but she can't place him. As she and Scott uncover more and more about Hank Millar, Jev keeps pulling her out of sticky situations. She feels drawn to him, even though she suspects he may be dangerous and is definitely on the opposite side of her friend, Scott. When Jev pulls her from a warehouse where hundreds of Nephilim soldiers are sleeping and would kill her for trespassing, he takes her to his home in the tunnels and reveals who he truly is to Nora- he is really Patch, the one man/angel Nora has loved. Now they must find out what Hank Millar is doing and save Nora's family in the meantime. Hank Millar may have nothing to lose, but Nora has everything in the world to lose now that she has fallen in love with Patch all over again. This was undoubtedly the best story in the series. Many people complain Nora is as whiny and spineless as Bella in Twilight, so it was nice to see her in a whole new light. She is more assertive in this book and gets herself into a lot of trouble because she won't just move on after the kidnapping and forget everything that happened to her. She is determined to get to the bottom of it all. I also, after the last ridiculous book, needed to see her and Patch really fall in love. Her amnesia really made that possible. She was drawn to him, couldn't resist him, and that was the Nora and Patch I originally loved and wanted to see more of! Finally, Fitzpatrick solved her biggest problem from both original books in the series- she didn't give you 90% filler and 10% action at the very end. The last two books I hated until the very end and then I was left liking the book but still feeling duped or cheated. This book was interesting the whole way through. From start to finish, it was interesting and there was a lot going on. I am surprised how it ended, but now I am actually looking forward to the next installment instead of feeling obligated to read the silly thing! I am glad to see this book redeemed the series, but I still probably wouldn't give this series to a struggling reader. It isn't exciting enough to hold their attention and help them be successful in finishing a whole book. I would leave this for adults (just for sheer boredom's sake- not content) or stronger readers who could make it through the whole thing without giving up because clearly Fitzpatrick saved the best for last!

Ten Likes/Dislikes: 1. (+) Nora, the Protagonist - Silence makes it easier to identify with Nora. Not only do you have that first chapter where you really feel for her and the situation she's in, but Nora also admits that some of her choices are stupid. She had a sort of self-deprecating humor and assuredness that made it easier to connect with her. And she knew what she wanted. Nora takes charge of her future, and I like that. I like how much stronger she has gotten with each book in the saga. 2. (+) The Romance - Patch has some pretty sweet, swoon-worthy lines. This is one of the only times he's completely and utterly honest about how he feels though he's still got the bad-boy vibe going for him. And you know, I don't normally like it when I think the protagonist spends too much time talking about how she's looking up into his eyes, but wow, there was something so seductive to the color black and the way Fitzpatrick uses it along with Nora's memory of Patch. Plenty of flirty lines and the chemistry between Patch and Nora still runs deep. 3. (+) The Villain - I'm not even going to pretend I understood him, but at the same time, he felt... real. I would've liked to read more from his perspective, to know what he truly was thinking when he did all those things in the past, but oh well. They always say the scariest villains are the ones who really believe in their cause. Well, there have you it. I definitely felt the danger of what he was doing and wondered what it would lead to. 4. (+) World-Building - Once again, there is a lot more to the fallen angel / archangel / Nephilim world that we learn about. I would list some details here, but I don't want to spoil any of it; just know that it was an interesting touch, and I can't wait to see what the fourth book has in store for this. Also, loose ends regarding the paranormal world I didn't even remember from the previous books were tied up rather nicely in this book. 5. (--) Frustration - Since Nora has lost her memory, a lot of the characters need to tell her what happened to her, who she knew, etc. While it's integral to the story to find out who exactly is lying, there were times when I wanted to say... we already know this! Please, story, can you move on? Can Nora please just remember what happened here so we can move on? 6. (+) The Ending - Though it ends on a cliffhanger--which I normally hate--I have an idea of where the fourth book will head, and I like that. I like where it's headed. When Becca Fitzpatrick first announced that news, I didn't know how to take it or whether or not I liked that she was expanding 'the saga.' This book helped me make up my mind on that end. 7. (+) The Writing - When I read the first chapter of Silence, my first thought was: wow, Becca Fitzpatrick's writing has improved SO much. This is probably the best writing I've read from her! That mostly continues through the book with one snag--the questions. Nora's perspective is filled with questions. Normally, I don't think I would've noticed, but one of my critique partners pointed out how many questions my protagonist asks and got annoyed with the protag for that... so, if you get annoyed when protagonists do that, watch out, I suppose. I personally wasn't bothered by it; there are a lot of questions that need to be asked. 8. (+/-) The Pacing - I did say that I was frustrated with Nora's inability to remember some of the things that we as readers could remember... and that affected the pacing, making it seem a tad slow at points and clogged with back story we already knew. Also, in the beginning, I kept looking for more time with Patch. It also made the book go a little slower in the beginning because I kept expecting him...(don't expect him for a bit)... but other than that, the pacing was fine, and I didn't let the book go until I had finished reading it. 9. (+/-) The Prologue - Becca Fitzpatrick continues her trend of prologues written from another character's perspective. While I think it added great insight into his mind, I also think it would've added more to the suspense and mystery of the novel had she gotten rid of it. Granted, I wasn't able to predict what would happen next in the story, but I think that not having the prologue would've definitely reduced my frustration with Nora, because I too would've been in the dark regarding what had happened to her later. 10. (+) The Cover - it matches the other two! I can't wait to put it next to them on the shelves and see the prettiness all together. I love the black and white and red theme... Though I'm not sure I quite understand the symbolism of the beach. I understood the fall and the lightning from the Hush, Hush and Crescendo covers, but the beach is a little confusing. I do like that they put Patch and Nora together this time; I can see that reflected in the book. Personally, I liked Hush, Hush the best of all the books simply because it was the start of their romance and I think that was quite possibly the most exciting bit--trying to figure out Patch's intentions and what exactly Nora had gotten herself into... but I like Silence more than Crescendo. Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick is a worthy contender in the Hush, Hush saga. Fans will definitely not be disappointed with the sweet romance, suspense, and interesting take on paranormal world-building in this book. Extra Tidbits: -Some people have complained about the absence of Nora's mom in the first two books--how unrealistic that was. Doesn't happen as much in Silence. -Vee is still here, charming as ever before, though I didn't mention her up above. Her role is sort of eclipsed in this novel because of the sheer amount of things going on around Nora. Hope you enjoyed the review!

This book is amazingly written and really makes you feel like you're actually there. I loved Hush Hush, Crescendo and I also love Silence. It's actually my favourite series and I love how Becca has a steamy, romantic and mysterious way of writing. Now I just can't wait to read Finale. Yay! So excited and I strongly recommend this series to everyone!💙 PS I love Becca Fitzpatrick and her talented writing skills.

Daughter love it

... aber in diesem Fall ist das keine Enttäuschung - im Gegenteil! Patch und Nora bleiben uns auch weiterhin erhalten, und das ist gut so :-) Inhalt: Direkt nach dem Ende des zweiten Buches, wird Nora von Hank, ihrem leiblichen Vater, gekidnappt. Drei Monate später wacht sie auf dem Friedhof auf & findet eine große schwarze Feder - doch sie kann sich an nichts erinnern, was in den letzten sechs Monaten ihres Lebens geschehen ist; nicht einmal an Patch. Während sie verzweifelt versucht sich an alles zu erinnern und ihre Leben wieder auf die Reihe zu kriegen, erfährt sie zu allem Überfluss auch noch, dass ihre Mutter einen neuen Freund hat: Hank Miller, der Vater von Noras Erzfeindin Marcie. Bei einem gemeinsamen Essen, wird es Nora zuviel. Sie verlässt das Restaurant und gerät bei dem Versuch nach Hause zu kommen in Lebensgefahr. Ihr mysteriöser Retter kommt ihr gleich vertraut vor - doch warum ist er so kalt zu ihr, obwohl er ihr das Leben gerettet hat?? Und warum haben weder Vee, noch Noras Mutter den gemeinsamen "Freund" erwähnt, von dem Marcie gesprochen hat? Währenddessen spielt Patch ein riskantes Spiel und zahlt einen hohen Preis, um Nora vor dem Tode zu bewahren. Er wird zum Doppelagent zweier Parteien, deren natürlicher Feind er eigentlich ist... Stil: Der Schreibstil ist wie immer flüssig und eingängig. Patch ist noch immer so authentisch, dass man seine Antworten beinahe vorhersagen kann - während seine Motive nichts an Rätselhaftigkeit verloren haben. Die Autorin schafft es ein weiteres Mal die Figuren "buchstäblich" zum Leben zu erwecken. Dieser Umstand, und der inzwischen komlexere und logischere Plot, fesseln den Leser ans Buch; bis zur letzten Seite. Geschichte: Wie bereits im zweiten Teil, ist der Plot hier viel ausgereifter als im ersten Buch. Die Autorin zieht den Leser mit Präzision weiter in die Geschichte hinein, indem sie ihn noch tiefer in die Geheimnisse der Engel und Nephilim einweiht. Selbst die Spannung zwischen Nora und Patch bleibt im dritten Buch erhalten - eine einzigartige und kalkulierte Leistung, die wieder einmal zeigt, dass die Autorin genau erkannt hat, was die Leser an ihren Büchern besonders fasziniert. Fazit: Ausgereifter Plot mit minimalen Schwachstellen, lebendige Charaktere & ein zügiges Tempo machen das Buch zu einem kurzweiligen Vergnügen. Selten konnte der dritte Teil einer Serie so überzeugen wie dieser. Während das zweite Buch bereits deutlich besser war als das Erste, steht der dritte Teil seinem Vorgänger in nichts nach - und ist, trotz Noras Gedächtnisverlust, bei Weitem nicht so verwirrend (allerdings auch nicht so überraschend) für den Leser, ohne dabei an Spannung einzubüßen. Meine Empfehlung: Unbedingt Lesen und sich auf das VIERTE BUCH (!) freuen!
