First of all I just have to say how amazingly beautiful the cover of the book is. Nora's dress and hair is perfect, and the fact that Patch is shirtless once again makes everything even better.
However, before I start talking about the book I want to say that both me and Emma have been on a one week trip with church, so we're both very sorry that there hasn't been any updates lately. And my computer has been on repairing and I got it back only a few days ago.
But back to the book! It was actually about one and a half week ago I finished the book but for already mentioned reasons I haven't made a "book talk" until now.
The book is the fourth and last in the Hush, Hush series, and to be honest, I got a little disappointed of it. I loved the book in the beginning, with the same old Hush, Hush atmosphere and all the drama, love, lies, everything. I loved how Nora and Dante were training together and how Scott and Vee's romance grew bigger, and just in general how the story expanded into something really great and thought through, and I was thinking that the ending was going to be something epic and amazing.
But as I got closer and closer to the end I felt more and more as if the ending wasn't going to be as great as I hoped. And I was right. The last battle, or whatever you want to call it, felt rushed and not well made at all. It was as if the author wanted to make it epic, but it just felt lame. Don't get me wrong, I loved the series as a whole, but the last hundred or fifty pages felt lame and speeded up.
And when Scott died I barely understood what was happening, I thought that he was hurt or something, but a few lines later he was apparently dead. And everything with Vee moving to the UK also felt wrong somehow. As if Becca Fitzpatrick just threw something together at the ending and didn't put much time into it, because she didn't know how to make all the pieces fit together.
But don't get me wrong here either, I love Becca Fitzpatrick's writing otherwise, it was just the ending of the series that ruined a lot for me.
Well, I don't really have much to say otherwise about the book. I'm really sorry for this short book talk but there wasn't very much for me to say about this book.
I hope you still enjoy this blog though, and soon there may be a surprise post on our blog, as Emma mentioned in an earlier entry.
Bye!
