“Vee? Mom?” At the edge of my vision, I saw another shadow slink through the fields. It seems that if she were halfway intelligent or had any sense of survival instinct, Nora would perceive the danger she was in and would consider that fact more important than stopping to wonder whether or not Patch was thinking about her. If only there weren’t constant diversions into Nora’s whining about her love life, it would have been an utterly enjoyable read. The storyline itself was intriguing and managed to build tension and keep me engaged during pivotal scenes.
The relentless relationship drama was, quite frankly, insulting to readers of any age, particularly teenagers who don’t fit the irrational melodramatic stereotype. About four out of every five pages are devoted to Nora pledging to love Patch for all eternity, and then breaking up with him two seconds later, only to regret it and wish she had him back, while pushing him away with her words and her actions in almost every scene. Where it goes off track, however, is in the teenage angst. Archangels, guardian angels, fallen angels, and nephilim all battling for turf should no doubt take center stage in the plot. To further complicate this teenage melodrama, Nora catches glimpses of her dead father mysteriously popping up in unexpected places. While openly using Scott (a childhood acquaintance turned dangerous hottie) to make Patch jealous, Nora finds herself seething as Patch grows closer to her high school nemesis, Marci Millar.
In this second installment in the series, Nora finds herself questioning her relationship with angel bad boy Patch. This young adult fantasy continues the story of teenager Nora Grey, who once again finds herself in danger, caught in the struggle between fallen angels, archangels, and nephilim.
Crescendois the sequel to Becca Fitzpatrick’s novel, Hush, Hush.
