Silence By Becca Fitzpatrick
Recently I finished reading the book Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick. This is the 3rd installment of the young adult (YA) series. The 1st book is Hush, Hush and the 2nd is Crescendo. That follows the character Nora who discovers her family history and how it ends up intertwining with Fallen Angels and Nephilim (children of human and fallen angel). She meets the mysterious Patch who she is unsure if she should hate him or love him. The big conflict in the story doesn’t have anything to do with the impending love story but that on the Jewish week of Cheshvan Fallen Angels can take over a Nephilim’s body so that they can feel the touch of others and what does this have anything to do with the main character Nora, just go and read Hush, Hush.
Silence is a great book and I would reccomend this series to anyone!

******Spoilers******* (Don’t read unless you want to know the plot of Silence)
So for anyone who read Crescendo you know that right at the end when you think that Patch and Nora are going to live happily ever after Hank catches them and kidnaps them. So Silence begins with Nora waking up in a cemetery with no memory of the previous books events. She doesn’t know who Patch is or her kidnapper. From the last book she found out Hank was her dad and guess what he is dating her mom now. Oh the irony! So the first person to tell her about Patch was Marci who lied saying he was her boyfriend and she wanted a necklace. Nora keeps meeting Jev which as the reader knows is Patch’s real name but obviously she doesn’t. And the plot thickens when Scott comes back and tells her about the army Hank is creating to fight Fallen Angels. Jev (Patch) reveals himself and shows her the memories she forgot by touching his wings. Long story short she kills Hank which causes her to become leader of his army because she made a vow to save her mom. The war is inevitable whether she likes it or not. All she knows is that she has Patch.
Okay so summary aside I really enjoyed this book I read it in less than 3 days and couldn’t help thinking about it. The one thing that made me so frustrated was her memory loss because the reader knows what she doesn’t and her choices were so stupid sometimes. I also couldn’t call Patch Jev in my head Patch is patch that is it. I love Nora and Patch’s relationship.
