Review- Crescendo *Spoiler Free*

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Release Date: October 19, 2010

My Rating: 5 Stars
Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.
The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?(From Simon & Schuster)

I was jumping all over the place when I won this ARC of Crescendo, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it. I don't really know how I'm going to do this spoiler free but I'm definitely going to try. Crescendo was amazing!! From the very beginning I knew I was going to be glued to it. Becca has done it once again and made me fall in love with her characters even more, I didn't think that was even possible.

I have to say that there were some frustrating moments where I wanted to scream at a certain character or slap he/she (I won't say any names) but I just hoped with all my heart that there was a reason behind it all and that everything would end up OK at the end. Crescendo starts shortly after where Hush,Hush ended and Patch is now Nora's guardian angel but of course just like it says on the synopsis there has to be a lot of complications between them which will suck you right into the story and take you on an emotional rollercoaster of sadness, happiness, anger and some frustration but I loved it all and enjoyed the ride!!

There's a lot more plots and twists in this one, I kept trying to figure out what was going on and who was bad and good but couldn't come up with the right answer and was constantly proven wrong. Then when I got to the amazing part where everything is revealed I swear my eyes were getting dried from not wanting to blink. I can't go into detail about it without giving away spoilers but we get to find out a lot more about what happened to Nora's dad, and some deeper secrets from his past that have to do a lot with Nora. There's a lot of Marcie Millar in this one which wasn't as irritating as I thought it would be but very funny thanks to Vee and Nora who kept getting into very complicating situations that made me laugh. Don't worry there's also plenty of sexy scenes with Patch that will make you swoon and sigh, at least they did to me =). If you loved Hush, Hush I'm sure that you will love Crescendo. Once I got to the ending I was left with my mouth wide open and screaming,  it's going to be a very long and torturous year full of speculations while I'm waiting for the next one.
