Nora finds forbidden love with her fallen angel, in the first book in the New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga.
For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

      Reminiscent of TWILIGHT, Fitzpatrick's first novel is a tale of supernatural powers and sacrificing oneself for love. Caitlin Greer conveys all the confidence and easy charm of Patch, the transfer student who becomes Nora's new biology partner--and obsession. Greer delivers his dialogue in a cavalier tone that becomes more intense as his true character is revealed. In contrast, Nora--who is filled with confusion and fear as she is pursued by an unknown force--comes across as a typical teenage girl. For this reason, Greer's narration sometimes doesn't match the gravity of the drama depicted in this novel. However, Greer gains momentum and drives the story to its revealing climax. E.N.

      Fitzpatrick debuts with a gripping chiller where humans become pawns in the hands of fallen angels. Nora Grey is assigned a new partner in her sophomore biology class. Her instincts tell her Patch is trouble, and she doesn't like the way he is already inside her head (“Part of me wanted to run away from him screaming, Fire
      ! A more reckless part was tempted to see how close I could get without... combusting”). Soon she is questioning her sanity—she is attacked by a masked figure that smashes her car window, but later the glass is intact. And the same figure ransacks her bedroom, but everything is in place when the police arrive. The violence and danger escalate, and Nora learns that Patch is actually a fallen angel seeking to become human. Fitzpatrick regularly tweaks the tension, resulting in a fast-paced, exhilarating read. Nora's tempestuous relationship with prototypical bad boy Patch is genuinely, even unsettlingly, seductive—fans of paranormal romance should be rapt. Ages 14–up.
