I like how dedicated both Nora and Vee are to their friendship it's nice to see that in YA, which, as I'm sure you know, is filled with many mean girls. She's Nora's determined and in-your-face side kick that really spices things up in the story. One of my favorite things about this series is the character of Vee. Becca Fitzpatrick's Crescendo is sure to please fans of Hush, Hush won't be disappointed by this captivating sequel. So, needless to say, readers will learn more about Nora's past as well as her father. Nora also tries to get some answers surrounding her dad's murder and as she is on this quest for truth, learns a lot of upsetting details. A childhood friend, Scott, reemerges and there is more than meets the eye to him. This puts a major strain on their relationship, not to mention how he is now hanging out with Marcie of all people. As the story progresses, Patch starts to distance himself from Nora and she has no clue why. She still has her feisty and spunky best friend, Vee and she still loathes her enemy and resident mean girl, Marcie Millar. Thankfully, I was not disappointed! It starts off with Nora Grey, surviving all of the horrific events in Hush, Hush, and Patch, who is now her guardian angel.

Hush, Hush was one of my favorite reads of 2009, so I was very excited to read the sequel, Crescendo. But some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything – and everyone – she trusts.' Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her Nephilim bloodlines has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly dangerous situations as she searches for answers. Even with Scott’s totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him – despite her lingering feeling that he’s hiding something. He’s more elusive than ever and, even worse, he’s started spending time with Nora’s arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who’s moved back to town, if Patch hadn’t been acting so distant. But Patch has been acting anything but angelic lately. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn’t pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it.

Gooreads says, ' Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect.
