Title: Crescendo
Author: Becca Roberts Fitzpatrick
Release Date: 19th of October 2010
Genre: Paranormal YA Novel
Blurb: "Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. But Patch has been acting anything but angelic lately. 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, and old family friend who's moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him- despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something.
Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations as she searches for answers. But some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything- and everyone- she trusts."
Rating: 8/10 Definately worth reading,
Review: The greatly anticipated sequel to "Hush Hush" I must say has not disappointed. The mind boggling storyline has you guessing from the very begining, "why is he doing that?", "who is behind that?" Only to be thrown at the end by a completely unexpected turn of events that has you thinking "why on earth did I not see this coming?"
During the first three quarters of the book you may find yourself silently screaming at Nora for being a self pitying, spineless, immature little brat as I did, which if I may add was so frustrating to read. She drove me crazy! Mix this with Patch and his lack of being able to say how he feels, Marcie and her annoying taunting and bullying and Scott with his beefhead attitude you have a serious mixture of rival personalities and the heated emotions of raging teenage hormones.
Not wanting to throw you off reading this book, it really is a great. One I would definately recommend if you are into this genre and of course if you loved "Hush Hush".
Is there another sequel? Yes!
"Silence" is due to be released on the 4th of October 2011. With thanks to Becca's official fansite
www.fallenarchangel.com this is what she had to say about third installment. " The noise between Patch and Nora is gone in this book. They've overcome the secrets riddles in Patch's dark past... bridged two irreconcilable worlds... faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust... and all for a love that will transcend the boudary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for and their love forever".
If you haven't read "Hush Hush" yet you don't know what you are missing. The sequel is even better!

Title: Afterlife Author: Claudia Gray Release: 8th of March 2011 Genre: YA Paranormal Rating: 9/10 Blurb: "Bianca and Lucas face a terrifying new reality: they have become whay they most feared. Lucas is a Vampire, and Bianca is a wraith. Together, they've overcome every obstacle life has thrown at them and fought pitched battles against enemies- mortal and otherwise. Now they must face their biggest challenge so far. They must discover if their love is strong enough to survive what comes after life..." Review: Without a doubt the best book of the Evernight series. In Afterlife we start off right where we left Lucas and Bianca in Hourglass. There was no going back and delving into the previous book, we are thrown straight into the action to continue the story. That was one of the best parts of the book. I get so frustrated when I read book series that always do a re-run of the previous book. We want to know what happens next already! Claudia Gray has really pushed her characters to their limits in Afterlife. Bianca has always been taught that wraiths are evil and to be feared, and now faces the rest of eternity as one. Learning that what she has known her whole life isn't exactly what it was made out to be and learning her purpose in this new found life is one of the journeys she takes through this book. There is an evil scheme behind her enrollement at Evernight Academy thats comes to the surface to shock everyone (including me). Lucas who also has grown up with the influences of others. Given perceptions about Vampires from "Black Cross" that also weren't entirely true. Their relationship is thrown every hard ball you can think of. Do they make it? That's for you to find out. Vic, Petrice, Balthazar, Dana and Raquel also have their strengths and weaknesses tested. All everyone had ever believed is not as it seems. The mixture of supernatural beings are amazing. It's not the usual vampire book where their natural enemy is the werewolf and sunlight is deadly. It's one that keeps you thinking the entire time. I found myself thinking about the possible outcomes even when I put the book down. It's a book that you dream about when you read it before bed. A story that doesn't leave your thoughts until you get to the ending and find out what happens and even then you think about the possibilites of an in between realm. What really happens in the after life? Do our loved ones that pass really have a hand in the outcome of our lives? This edge of your seat read is in one word AMAZING! Anyone who hasn't read it needs to go out and get the series, you will be blown away by this powerful story. It is sad of me to announce that this is the last book in the Evernight series. However, Claudia has decided to tell the story of Balthazar! And we all love him right. She will be taking us on his journey from his death to all of the adventures that follow. Keep your eyes peeled in March of 2012 for this one. For more information about Claudia Gray and her books head to her website: www.claudiagray.com Happy Reading! Renee
