Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nora had just about the most normal, boring life you could think of. She went to school, got good grades, worked one the school paper, and hung out at the library a lot after school. She had a best friend named Vee whom was almost the exact opposite of her, and also an enemy thats favourite past time was making fun of Nora and Vee. She would go home to her farm house where she was alone a lot other than her families house keeper because her mothers job entitled much traveling, which gave her a lot of freedom that she rarely took advantage of. Normal, boring, repetitive. That is untill Patch entered into her life.
Patch, the one student in her biology class that she didn't even know the name of. He was the transfer student with the chilling black eyes that seemed to see right into your soul. There was just something that wasn't right about him, and it unerved Nora. He scared her, but for reasons unknown to her she felt a certain draw or atraction to him, and with her lack of experience in the guy department she had no idea what any of it ment. Not to mention that Patch was mysterious and definietly hiding something, whether it was dangerous or not she couldn't figure him out at all. But the one thong she was positive of was that there was some kind of attraction between them than and she didn't know what it ment, and this scared her at the same time that intriged her. However unsure she was about this unexpected attraction she was sure that it ment that things in her normal boring life were about to change. For the better or for the worse? She would have to wait and find out.

I think that this book might be one of the best young adult, paranormal books that I have read yet. It had be hooked right from the first page, it took absolutly no effort to get into the story. It has a great plot filled with twists and turns that will have you glued to the edge of you seet right to the very last page. One of the best aspects of this book along with its plot is its characters. You will be captivated by their unique, strong, and complex personalities, the ability to relate to some of what they go throught pulls you even further into the story. Plus the unexplained and mysterious attraction building between Nora and Patch is a great treat for the romance fans. When you get to the last page you will be wishing you could have read it slower so that it wouldn't be over already, and will have you bagging for the sequel. I recemmend this book to all who are into the paranormal young adult books, this one will certanly not disapoint.

The Knife of Never Letting Go Patrick Ness


First what you have to understand about the story is that the protagonist, Todd Hewwit, has almost no education and he is writing this book so many of the words are mispelled ((on purpose by the author)). Second is that that the characters in this book colonized the planet they are on called the New World. Obiously they came from the Old World, which i think is Earth even though it's not mentioned, and the natives that lived o the planet were called Spackle. The Spackle were peaceful and didn't want war, but humans and their ways, they started a war to have the planet for their own. During this war the Spackle realesed a "germ" that killed all the women, half the men, and made the rest of the men able to read eachothers thoughts. Not like Twilight mindreading but like your thoughts spill out of your mind and everyone else can hear them. They call this the Noise.
So anyway, the story starts out with Todd and Manchee ((his dog)) hunting in the swamp. And he can hear all the thoughts of Manchee, the animals, insects, and critters all around him. But he finds a spot were there is a "crack" in the Noise where there is no Noise at all.
If I say anymore I will spoil it for you. But it is the BEST book ((for me anyways)) ever written and has the BIGGEST cliffhanger ending eva. This book will not dissapoint you, but it is strange at first. You might have to re-read the beggining more than once to understand it. Right now I'mreading the sequel, The Ask and the Answer and I am about through with it. It is so sad and terrifying though.
But I love this book and i hope you will to.
