Çığlık (Hush, Hush 2) - Becca Fitzpatrick

11.29.2011

Kitap: Çığlık (Hush, Hush 2)
Orijinal adı: Crescendo
Yazar: Becca Fitzpatrick
Çevirmen: Sevinç Tezcan Yanar
Basım yılı: 2011
Yayınevi: Pegasus Yayınları
Sayfa sayısı: 407

Nora Grey'in hayatı mükemmellikten hâlâ çok uzaktadır. Hayatına kastedilmiş olması hoş bir deneyim olmasa da en azından bu durumun içinden bir koruyucu melek sahibi olarak çıkmıştır. Gizemli, çekici ve muhteşem bir koruyucu melek. Ama Noranın hayatındaki yerine rağmen, Patchin hareketleri kesinlikle meleksi değildir. Hatta her zamankinden daha anlaşılmaz görünmektedir;
tabii bu mümkünse.


Hayatındaki gerçeklerin ne olduğunu umutsuzca öğrenmek isteyen Nora, cevaplara ulaşabilmek için kendisini giderek tehlikeli hale gelen durumların içerisine sokar. Ama belki de bazı şeyler olduğu gibi bırakılmalıdır, zira gerçek, güven duyduğu her şeyi ve herkesi yok edebilir. 


Bu kitabın ilk ve son satırlarını firstandlastlines blog'da okuyabilirsiniz.

Bu da içimdeki 16 yaşındaki kızın bayıldığı kitaplardan biri. Bir yandan hoşuma gidiyor, bir yandan 'bunun yerine adam gibi bir şey okuyabilirim aslında' diye geçiriyorum içimnden. Ama insan duramıyor tabii ki.

Hush, Hush serisinin ikinci kitabında Nora gıcık etti beni. Mızmızlıkta, paranoyaklıkta, pek çok benzer şeyde aştı resmen kendini. Ama daha çok sonunun bariz belli olmasına sinirlendim sanırım. Normalde böyle şeyler fazla umrumda olmaz çünkü sonuna gelene kadar pek çok heyecanlı olay olabiliyor. Ancak Çığlık'ta olanlar fazla zorlanmış gibi geldi bana. Bir sır yaratmak için çok uğraşmış yazarımız ama onu meydana çıkarırken kendini ele veriyor. Ayrıca hatun kısmının mızmızlama kısmını da fazla uzatıyor!

Üçüncü kitabı da almıştım bunu alırken ancak bence bekleyebilir biraz. Yine arada çıtır-çerez bir şey lazım olduğunda onu da okuyuveririm. En azından Nora'nın en yakın arkadaşı Vee beni bayağı eğlendiriyor.

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?

As I've mentioned yesterday, the prologue and first chapter of the book are up for grabs, and you can get the download link at DaisyChainBookReviews.

I just got done reading the prologue and the first chapter, and I'm rather excited about where it's all going. I think Nora going after her father's death will reveal a great deal about her Nephilim line and how Patch found her. Honestly, I'm more interested in how the hell Patch found her, so I'm hoping, judging from the prologue, that we will find out.

I feel like this book is going to be worth waiting for.

Book #18 of 2010 - Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick Review

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Published in 2009
For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along.
With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment, but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life. 





First Twilight and now this... I'm becoming more and more aware of how MY biology labs in high school were a waste of time! There were no newcomers with piercing eyes and husky voices and strong abs and things... Now that I've finally complained about that, onto the book:

I really liked it. I haven't read anything with angels before, and the only ones I know are from the Supernatural-- they're (mostly, except for Castiel, of corse) arrogant and mean and all that. I guess that's kinda what I expected from this, and I got it, but it was much better.

It's hard not to fall for Patch with his teasing charm and good looks. Nora is confused about him, obviously, since he's also mysterious, arrogant and stalkerish. There were times when I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her, going, "You want him, Nora! Hello!" Then I had to remind myself she is 16 and acting the way any 16-year-old girl would in her situation.

Overall, the story flows smoothly and is easy to read, as well as enjoyable. The only thing that left me needing more was Patch's backstory-- is that it? Really? I really hoped we could find out more about him, but apparently not. I'm hoping it will change in the next book since we'll definitely find out more about Nora's Nephilim blood line.

On the other hand, though, Nora's best friend Vee cracked me up a lot. And the twist in the end about the "murderer" was pretty cool; even if I might have guessed it at one time or the other, I'd definitely had forgotten it toward the end of the book.

I must admit that with the biology lab and Nora's driving to Portland to investigate Elliott and getting in trouble, a voice at the back of my head started screaming, "Twilight! Twilight!" Since the subject matter isn't too different, similarities are about to pop up, right?
