I want to try having two types of discussions for our monthly books. One with no spoilers, and another where you can speak freely about the book. This is the one without spoilers. If you post something with spoilers, I'm going to ask you to delete, and if you don't in an appropriate amount of time, I'm going to have to delete the post.

This topic is going to be about why people should or even shouldn't read Crescendo and what you thought of the book before you read it.
Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick

I haven't read Crescendo yet. I'm about to start, and I'm excited to read this book. After reading Hush, Hush, I think this series had potential.

A lot of people seem to like it, and there has been a lot of interest in the series.

I hope Nora's mom is in this book more. In the first, she came across as kind of an absentee mother. I hope I was wrong about her.

I like the cover art. Once again there is a red feather in a black and white picture. It looks like Nora's in the front this time. Maybe there's a big storm on the cover because something big is coming.

Tell me your thoughts on the book.

Mandy  (ladyguinevere) I admit I'm only reading this because:
a) I already bought it so I kinda *have* to
b) I hope the story/writing/characters improve

'Hush, Hush' was a big disappointment to me, I expected so much more! I do want to know where things are going, so I'm giving the sequel a fair chance. The first few chapters I've read are already some sort of an improvement in comparison to the first book, so.
These books could have enormous potential, when done by someone who writes properly. I hope Becca finds her voice in this sequel and allows the books to ascend from mere fastfood to satisfying, finger-licking goodness.

I think she could do better too. I think I'd be disappointed if she doesn't try to make her work better and better.

I loved this freaking book. It was awesome, and I thought that it was a good sequel. I know that she originally had a different story for this one, but her editor didn't like it, so she had to completely change it up.

You were right. Nora was hard to bare. She just kept setting herself up to get hurt.
