Crescendo

Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2)Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'm with Patch. His devotion, his nature, his love.. I just don't get why if being Marcie's guardian angel requires him to kiss and hang out with her right? Just guard her from a distance since he's super fast anyways. The whole time when Nora was in danger, I kept on yelling at her to tell the archangel that she wanted Patch to be her guardian angel again, but her nature is stubburn and to me annoying! Scott is suppose to be a hunk but still kinda week for a Nephilim. It's so twisted to find out that Nixon was the bad guy. No wonder he kept on popping up with Vee here and there and within the story. But was his intensions was to be Patch and kill Nora's dad so she could blame Patch the whole time? Nora has so much inner conflicting mindsets! She wouldn't tell Patch how she felt, weather it was eating at her. She should of trusted him and try to explain her reasoning. But she held all her feelings inside and kept assuming Patch was the bad guy. Though Patch has a history of violence and a secretive life-style, he could of understood and just let her know emotionally that he was in love with her instead of leaving her vulnerable to her own self-destructive mind. in love how it ended with them back together and he telling her he loved her. In my mind, as being Told through Nora's pov, I pretended he was telling me her loved me, after all the harsh words and careless interrogations. I can't wait till Silence comes out in October. I will definitely have to re-read Hush Hush and Crescendo again to relive the story and then torture my heart out reasons Silence knowing there's no more Patch unless I just reread and relive the story all over again!

Hush Hush

Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1)Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I think Fallen Angel are just for only us humans to love, lust, and adore! I found Nora's curiosity is SO annoying but in the end, after what she goes through, she deserves a guardian Angel. The power of friendship seems to over power the power of family. I don't understand and maybe that's just it, for me to figure it out... But how in the world did Jules die again? There are some wordings that I totally got lost even after reading it over a few times.. But over all, I like the story and how Nora makes Patch sound SO IRRESISTABLE!

Mockingjay

Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Humans are like ants. Snow is curious child who aims the magnifier above the ants where a hot sun torture the ants and burn them to death. Coin is that grandma who has good intentions as whole for the people but is undyingly evil to seek out her motives. I don't bizzare right? Gale is that handsome bff that you can nver fall in love with because your relationship wasnt based off of feelings but companionship and trust. Katniss is the self-inflicked girl who has the teen drama mindset but a heart of a lion. Hard for her to trust anyone but the boy with the bread that she ends up loving who has always loved her and her bff gale.

I like the book. The kids grow up but matures into soldiers and a strong heart that's been mended by loves ones, torn aparrt by the carelessness of others. How in the world does the author make up such deadly pods in teh capital and create suck a weak but powerful capital? People of the districts dies off like unwanted pests but a handful of people will risk their lives to save their loved ones.

I stray of the books at moments but it pulls me back cause every turn of the page has something going on and or Katniss is at war with herself again.

I'm very happy to know Katniss and Peeta ends up together and childres of their own. What about Gale? *sigh* who knows, a short sequel somewhere?

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


WOW, I couldn't put the book down. Peeta and Katniss! They both did it, they survived the awful game plagued by the Capitol! I jus had to keep reading till I read every last word, every last page is turned.. But now the anti caption of what will happen between Peeta and Katniss. Love? Anger? Regret? Foul play? What about Gale! So many unanswered questions and two more books to spill over! I loved how everything was planned, willingly known or not. Through Katniss's mind, her conflicting thoughts and feelings for Peeta sends me feeling sorry for him, but maybe hope for her and their new relationship that is now more than just friendship or not? "sigh"

It seems as though Suzanne Collins has lived through the Hunger Games and is now telling the story, as if she was Katniss herself! Brilliant! Totally a different kind of love/romance. Nothing that tells you too much. No indication that anything is inappropriate. Everything that happened and events that occured just built up to the next thing that happened. There's family, there's the friendship that isn't quite a crush or love yet. Then there's a war, futuristic things like a button that sends a meal within a minute? Come one! Then there's mutation in animals, the played out/ planned out nature events, the unseen camera which captures everything that happened.. Friendship, singing birds, revenge and love/ or is it feelings/ spurs of the moment actions that can mean something else. Smart! Eveything is so planned and organized that you can't really pinpoint a type of book this is. Yes, there's action, there's romance/love I think, nothing too close to paranormalcy, friendship and family. I love it!

I don't think my description gives justice to such a brilliant book, but I KNOW reading it is a whole different realm. Being the reader in a character's mind is a whole thing plays out nicely!
