Becca Fitzpatrick's 'Hush, Hush' Saga


After a month interval, I've finally finished reading Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush Saga: Hush, Hush, Crescendo, Silence, and Finale. Yes, they're supernatural YA, but the up side is there are no vampires, werewolves, or zombies. Only angels, demons, and nephilim. None of the books have a religious slant, so the books can be enjoyed for what they are: fiction.

Being a big fan of happy endings, I wasn't disappointed with the series. I bought the first book on a whim from Hasting's in Tullahoma, TN during my last trip to Sewanee, and I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Usually, I hate getting sucked into a book series (or saga, in this case). After Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, and The Mortal Instruments, I felt I'd had enough of a single story being told in multiple books, but Fitzpatrick's series wasn't draining in the least, and each book can easily be read in a day or two. Plus, they're all available--so no waiting (except for the movie, which is going to be made sometime in the future).

Now, back to my thesis...
