Crescendo:Review!

Book:Crescendo
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genre: Young Adult
Barnes and Noble synopsis:


The sequel to the New York Times Best selling phenomenon, Hush, Hush!
Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.
The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

Review:
  Wow! Wow! This book was amazing I loved it so much. At the beginning I was a little annoyed with Nora and her need to always be with Patch. It reminded me a little to much of the relationship between Edward and Bella. And to me it degrades the power of woman by symbolizing as women as something weak and powerless. But when they broke up and Nora kept pushing him away I knew she had the remote in the relationship and could change the channel at any point. Becca kept surprising the reader by making Patch look like the bad guy the whole story until the very end when he of course saves his  love and admits his true love for her. I was very impressed with this book and would recommend it to any girl who loves paranormal and a lost love requited.
