Hush, Hush

[Deleted]

I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for this series yet.

I used to be a fan of this series, back when I was eleven/twelve but I only liked the first book because in the next one Nora became stupid and forgot everything she was told in the previous book. And when the third one came out, I was able to tell which books were twilight copycats and which weren't and how bad the copycats were. I never read the last one.

But since I'm gonna be sporking the series, I guess I'll have to, right?

I'll post a link to the prologue and the first chapter sometime later today if anyone's interested.


Edit: here's a link to the prolouge: bad-ya-novel-sporking.tumblr.com/

Here's the link for the first chapter and I am really pissed after I've had to read/spork it. And hopefully it flows a lot better than the prologue did. bad-ya-novel-sporking.tumblr.com/post/52742363654/hush-hush-chapter-one

[Ozymandias II]

Eee. Even the title screams, "Shut up teenage girl and let me stalk you." Blech.

[Deleted]

You know I never could figure out why it was called Hush, Hush. The title had nothing to do with the story or the cover. And I still don't know why it's called that way.

But I think Patch is the most douchiest, perverted love interest I've ever seen in ya fiction. Just blech! Get away from me!

[watersheerie]

I never thought I would find a more psychotic, borderline-abusive, asshole love interest than Edward. And then I read Hush Hush. It's almost like the author read Twilight and thought to herself, "I bet I can make a bad boy that's even more of a douche."

And that was how Patch won the award for Biggest Douche in the Universe.

[Deleted]

And here is the second chapter! I'm gonna post the sporkings on here instead of giving you guys a link, easier for you to read and I won't feel like an idiot posting links all over this thread.



I have procrastinated this chapter all morning; I even watched a movie so I wouldn’t have to do it immediately, but that stops now.

Nora talks about the farmhouse she lives in and whines about how the builder built the house in a place where all the fog is just to ignore her. Not to mention that the house was built two centuries ago, so her whining is even more stupid. And she precedes to describe the house as “veiled by gloom that resembled escaped and wandering spirits.”

Oh and apparently they have a housekeeper, Dorothea! Turns out her mom is an auctioner and travels all over the East Coast for her job.
Why would Nora’s mother go traveling and leaving her daughter alone all the time? Yeah, yeah they have a housekeeper, but when did they hire her? After her father died? When Nora was a baby? We don’t know much about Dorothea, in fact I don’t even remember her! I doubt she’s ever mentioned again after this scene, and if so not a lot. Sorry, rambling a bit, back to the point: her mother takes a traveling job and continues to do it after her husband was murdered. So far we don’t know where he was murdered, if it was in the middle of the street or some robber tried to get in the house and he was there, or anything like that. But shouldn’t Nora’s mom try to be with her as much as possible? Wouldn’t she still be scared that her daughter might meet the same fate as her husband, and she wants to make sure that she’s safe? Or is she just find getting a call from the coroner saying her daughter’s dead while she’s somewhere along the East Coast selling random junk?

Do any characters here have common sense? I already know the answer, just humor me here.

Turns out Dorothea is German, and like any person from another country doesn’t speak English that well. *rolls eyes*. That right there is stupid beyond belief. Yeah, there are some foirnors that don’t speak English very well, but not every immigrant is like that with English!

Nora complains that she has a new partner while she lets Dorothea do all the cleaning in the kitchen, which I’m a bit peeved off about. I always hate it when I do a lot of work so I want to get it done as fast as possible, and when I see people doing work that I know is going to take a long time, I help them out because then they can get done quicker and can do whatever they want. But I guess having a housekeeper rips out any sense of helpfulness in you.

And then she just goes into a really bad description of Patch’s “myseriousness”.

“[And] eerily closed off. Patch’s eyes were black orbs. Taking in everything and giving away nothing. Not that I wanted to know more about Patch. Since I hadn’t liked what I’d seen on the surface, I doubted I ‘d like what was lurking deep inside.”

Why do authors have teenagers talk in really bad purple prose all the time? No, who talks like that in real life anyways? Nora is supposed to be in tenth grade, a grade I just finished, and believe me, no one in my grade, along with me, talks like that.

And yeah, you really don’t want to know more about Patch, that’s why you’re thinking about him in a positive, he’s-so-mysterious-I-wonder-why rant. And that you contradicted yourself and said that you liked him and wanted to know more about him. Make up your damn mind!

It’s suddenly nine o’clock and Dorothea’s leaving. Instead of saying goodbye like a normal person, Nora uses the porch lights to say goodbye.

Another thing about her mom: why doesn’t she ask Dorothea to stay with Nora until she gets home? Yeah, some parents let their kids stay home for a few days, my parents are okay with me being home for alone for quite some time, but it’s night where a lot of creeps and burglars can come in and after having her husband die, she just lets her daughter be home alone at night. Seriously, does anyone have common sense or care about anyone in this book?

Out of the blew Nora’s going off about how she’s scared she’ll get at least a B for her final grade in biology, which to her is “the difference between a full and half scholarship in [her] future.” Wait, so her mom is able to afford a housekeeper, and possibly an expensive house based on when it was built, but won’t be able to help her daughter pay for college?

Nora calls Patch and when he picks up she asks them if they can meet somewhere to get the assignment done. At nine o’clock at night. Wait, did I say she asked him? I meant demand because that’s what she did. She demanded that this asshole meet up with her at an inappropriate hour to get her assignment done. Never mind that she had the time after school to do it, she had to do it at night.

Patch says that they can’t and that he has an important pool game to win and then later hangs up with her after mentioning he’s at Bo’s Arcade. Nora gets pissed off and scribbles on her paper that he’s going to get lung cancer just because she noticed he smelled like cigars, which means nothing. My dad smokes and my grandparents can smell the smoke on me even though I’ve never touched a cigarette in my life. He could have someone in his family that smokes or something along those lines. And then she lets it slip that he has a nice body, which I guess is supposed to make her sound like she has a crush on him or something. I’ll admit it’s possible since she can’t stop thinking about him in a somewhat positive manor, but how can you have a crush on an asshole that straight up asked you if you were suicidal based on a stupid birthmark on your wrist? No, I’m not gonna let that go because the author intended for it to be funny and suicidal thoughts are NOT funny.

Nora briefly contemplates either making up the interview or just going to where Patch is at and try to get it done. Instead she calls her mom, and in what I assumed was supposed to sound selfless, we get this:

“Part of [Nora and her mother’s] agreement was that I act responsibly and not be the kind of daughter who required constant supervision. I liked my freedom, and I didn’t want to do anything to give my mom a reason to take a pay cut and get a local job to keep an eye on me.”

So Nora doesn’t care about her mom or how she travels a lot for her job, and the only time she would is only because Nora does something and her mother would have to come back and take a different job so she can keep an eye on her. Doesn’t care that if she does, she’ll get to hang out with her mom, which she already said happens rarely, she just cares about her stupid “freedom” she gets having the place almost to herself and oh how lucky it is to have a housekeeper to do all the cleaning for her!

Actually, from the tone she used, I don’t think her mom wants to quit her job and be with her daughter. Which get some (I’ll admit, not much because she could’ve been busy) proof when her mom doesn’t pick up the phone.

Nora finds a coin to help decide if she should go and find Patch so she can get her biology done, and we don’t hear the aftermath if she got heads or tails. I guess for some tension? Though I really don’t care whether she stays or goes, everyone’s an asshole in this book.

She goes and to find Patch and it sounds like she’s backing out her car in the kitchen, and then she whines about her car isn’t the way she wanted it and that’s it’s all old and rusty and has dents in it and for the love of everything, SHUT UP! Do you know how much I would love to be able to get a car when I turn sixteen this summer? Even if it was as horrible as you say it is? I don’t want to be using my parents’ cars but I have to because they don’t have the money to get one for me, and I don’t have any money at all because it’s extremely hard to get a job at fifteen! So just SHUT UP!

We arrive at Bo’s Arcade and it’s like some pub and we see that the parking lot is filled with cigarette butts, which further proves my point that just because Patch smelled like cigars doesn’t mean he smokes them. Nora, instead of paying the cashier, heads into the arcade anyways to find Patch because she doesn’t want to waste any money on the guy to get her biology project done. Dude why not just find him at school the next morning and try to get some answers? You’re not going to be the only one who’d do that honey. And even then the rest of the class will probably have pointless trivia like What’s Your Favorite Color?

She finds Patch and then repeats herself saying how there’s something not right about him and how he isn’t safe and everything even though we’ve just been told that like ten or less pages ago. Patch tells the other guys to leave despite the fact he was in the middle of a pool game, and they listen to him. I have no idea who these guys are, but I doubt any of them would take orders from a teenager, or supposed teenager. Nora tells herself that this really isn’t the kind of place she should be in even though so far all we know is that it’s some kind of arcade, you have to pay to get in, you can play pool, and that people smoke outside of it. And no, there was no talk of anyone smoking while she was in the place so it might be a no smoking zone.

Patch grabs her assignment out of her hands and then tells her that he doesn’t smoke. Yeah, he might be lying because we know he’s a douchebag, but I was right about not having to smoke and yet smell like smoke! Trying to get her project done-and how much info do they need to know on each other for the assignment?-she asks what his biggest dream is and of course he has to try to be all sexy but sounds like a perverted creep and says he wants to kiss her. And he continues to be creepy by saying “I’m in need of a healthy female sacrifice. I’d planned on luring her into trusting me first, but if you’re ready now…”

Patch, may I please rip off your dick since you’re being a major one right now?

And Nora thought that line was supposed to impress her…really no one here has common sense?
Nora continues her questioning by asking him how many times he failed bio because that’s what Vee says, and he tells her he never went to school before what I’m assuming is that year. And then Nora goes off saying that everyone goes to school and that it’s the law for him to go to school. No, it’s the law for him to take school, not go to one. There are plenty of people who are homeschooled or take school online, not everyone goes to a public or private school.

And once again, Patch gives her a creepy line about he only went to school because of her! God, does it literally kill him not to sound like a pervert every five seconds? And more importantly, WHY DID I EVER LIKE THIS BOOK WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH ME BACK WHEN I WAS ELEVEN?

…And Nora likes it when he’s being a pervert. And Patch says another creepy line.

Nora tries to leave and spots that Patch, too, has a birthmark on his wrist! Hey, Patch, you’re not suicidal are you?

She finally gets away from the pervert and we have a little space to show that time has passed and Nora wakes up to a sound in her house. We also learn that her mom isn’t coming home until about a month, which is a really long time to leave a minor alone all the time. Aren’t there laws against leaving your child alone for months while they’re under eighteen? Apparently not in this book. While Nora’s wondering what it could’ve been, she very calmly states that her dad was shot to death in Portland while buying her mom a birthday present.

Oh, and sorry for not stating it back last chapter, but this takes place in Coldwater, Maine.

I’m not even going to comment on how wrong it sounded when she told the audience about how exactly her father died.

Nora brushes off the sound she heard as “…a cloud passing over the moon. Or a piece of trash blowing in the wind.” Tell me, how does it sound when a cloud passes over the moon? She gets up from her bed to check if there’s anything in the yard, commenting on how her hearing is pounding.

And I am done with this chapter!

Thoughts? Her mom is a sucky parent, I doubt we’re going to see Dorothea again, Patch is a perverted creep, and Nora is an idiot. And I’m only thirty-two pages in!

So not looking forward to doing chapter three later tonight, but I thank the library for having a certain due date set inspiring me to get this awfulness of a book done faster.

[Ozymandias II]

^ Patch is freaking terrifying. I think that even the author didn't know what drew Nora to Patch, but she had to be drawn to him because he's the Main Love Interest. Yeesh.

[Deleted]

I am really tired guys. And I don’t know why because I had nearly twelve hours of sleep last night. But after I spork chapter three of this, I’m going to take a nap. If this sounds all clunky and weird, you know why.

It starts off with Coach McConaughy, and I’m just going to call him Coach because his last name is a mouthful to me, lecturing the class on something. Hold on, what about the assignment Nora was freaking out about last chapter? Did he just forget about it even though he very clearly stated that this was a serious assignment? Along with no common sense, do people have a memory of a goldfish too? Oh, and Nora also doesn’t know what he’s talking about, even though It was already stated in chapter one that they were leading up to talking about sex. So I don’t know what her problem is.

Oh wait, it’s okay for her not to know because she’s thinking up the ways to try to change the seating arrangement so she won’t have to sit by Patch all the time. Those reasons? “Uncooperative on assignments… Shows little interest in teamwork.” Nothing about him being a perverted douche all the time, just something trivial that a lot of students tend to have at school. And yeah, that’s really annoying for someone not to bother to do work or do their share in a group project, that’s the main reason I hate working in groups because I’m almost always the one who has to make sure everyone does something and gets that something done, but if someone showed those traits but also harassed me? I’d put harassment on the top of my list.

Then she immediately goes back on that mysterious sound she heard in the middle of the night and suspects that it was Patch who did and that he was spying on her. Yes, that is sarcasm I put there because it’s not out of the ordinary if you thought you heard something in the middle of the night. She was sleeping when it happened and she was tired, and when you’re tired you sometimes imagine noises that can wake you up. After the thought of Patch possibly spying on her, she takes a couple pills for her anemia. Again, I don’t remember her ever mentioning this at all, I guess besides this one forgettable paragraph, and we never see her rushed to the hospital or her having any paranoia attacks. She also mentioned it was life threatening, so why would taking some pills a few times a day help? I might be wrong and that it does, but I’m too tired to look it up if that is the case, so forgive me if I sound ignorant right now.

And this anemia thing is something new and has never been shown up to this point, so why put it in there?

Coach picks out Nora again and asks her, in front of the whole class, the qualities she’s looking for in a boyfriend. What. The. Hell. Does this guy no any boundaries to students personal lives? And what on earth does this have to do with sex? Like I said for the first chapter: penis goes into vagina, end of story! It should only take a couple of days-three at most if you really want to get into it, but the teacher shouldn’t force the kids to talk about the things they want in a boyfriend/girlfriend it’s just embarrassing and unnecessary!

And the only reason she put this in is so what we can see Patch being more of a creepy douche.

While Coach is still focusing on Nora, she keeps repeating his question like an idiot. And it doesn’t make her sound cute and it isn’t funny it’s just repetitive and upping the word count. Nora looks over a Patch and he “flashed his pirate smile and mouthed, We’re waiting.” How do you smile like a pirate? Do you just grit your teeth and then show them to the universe while wearing an eye patch with a parrot on your shoulder?

Nora tells Coach that she’s never thought about it before, I would call bullshit but considering the teacher is pointing her out for the second time to the class, I don’t blame her for it. Coach ignores her, the bastard, by insisting that she should think up of qualities fast. Who thought it was a good idea for this guy to teach? Nora tells him to call on someone else and it oh-so-happens, he asks Patch. With a couple of normal qualities, he adds in “vulnerable”, which really adds in more to his creepiness.

I have a slight moment when I like Vee when she asks Coach what this has to do with sex, and I’m wondering the same thing, but he dismisses her saying that it’s part of sex for people to find some qualities that involve getting to know people. Oh so the people who have one night stands look for everything they want in a wife or husband when they have sex with them? And to make me even more pissed off at Coach, he goes and says that men are only attracted to beauty because beauty will live long enough to raise kids and after Vee calls him out on being sexist, he goes and says that it’s her greatest contribution to have kids and that “the more children you have, the greater your contribution to the gene pool.” Seriously guys, I have never wanted to kill a character this much before. And right after that little sexist comment, he talks with Patch on how to get a girl, and in a total player fashion. And while Patch is telling him and the class on how he knows a girl is interested, he points out how Nora is messing with her hair and biting her lip, which he thinks is a sign of a girl liking him. Fair point it is, but not necessarily. When Nora described herself she spent a bit more time on her hair, maybe she just likes to mess with her hair from time to time. I have a friend who loves to play with her hair, one minute she’ll have it in a braid, the next it’ll be plain or in a ponytail. But my hatred and disgust grows stronger for Patch.

Good God guys, I’m only five pages in and I’m this mad already.

Oh, lovely Coach thinks it’s just fantastic that Patch pointed Nora out! And even more so while Patch goes on describing how Nora is blushing. Never mind you just embarrassed her in front of the whole class, obviously it’s because she’s interested in you! And he keeps going on, mentioning her body while he’s at it too. And does Coach do anything about how inappropriate this is? Nope!

I am fucking serious with how the teacher is fine with it. While Patch keeps making fun and hitting on Nora, Coach is delighted about it calling it “biology in motion”. Vee then asks if they can move on to sex. I don’t know if this is to show if Vee is a slut or if it’s because she doesn’t see the point in this and doesn’t want her best friend to be embarrassed anymore and wants to get on to the actual topic they’re supposed to be studying or what, all I know is that Coach has them read a chapter from their text book for homework and the bell rings again. Another short class? What are they, five minutes?

“’I’m starting a petition to have Coach fired,’ Vee said.” You and me both, honey- oh wait she’s just mad she didn’t see or talk about porn. And then she talks about how there was nothing wrong with Patch acting like a creep around Nora and gets offended when Nora gets mad at her. Is it really so hard for Becca Fitzpatrick to write likeable characters?

Nora goes talk to Coach about a new seating chart, though I doubt that Coach will let her. He’s busy going over a stupid basketball play on his notebook… even though I’m pretty sure basketball would be over with in April. Isn’t it a winter sport? Soccer, golf, and tennis are the spring sports, among others I may not know about, not basketball.

Unsurprisenly, Coach refuses to change the seating chart, even after Nora pulls out a student handbook which states that a student shouldn’t feel threatened by another student, which Nora rightfully does with Patch. She then offers him a deal to tutor a student if she can sit next to her friend again and Coach then goes on and says Patch needs a tutor. God, just go and go over basketball plays for no basketball team, Coach!

Oh, and when Nora says she can tutor Vee because apparently she’s not good at biology, Coach shoots her down, even though they both said that she can’t pay attention in class very well. And he also goes and makes her tutor Patch anyways. I have no idea who I hate more: Coach or Patch. Right now it’s Coach because he’s a jackass and I have to read about him for now.

We skip to Vee and Nora coming back home from a movie theater because for eZine Nora has to review any movies that are coming out. Umm, isn’t that the newspaper’s job? Or for the newspaper’s job to let people know about upcoming movies and then the people can go and see for it themselves to see what they think of it. Nora and Vee both agree to not see any horror films because they don’t like them. Well, you know some people do and if it’s your job to write reviews on movies, horror fans aren’t going to be happy with you.

And now Nora just assumes that someone was lurking outside her window the past night even though it could’ve been easily something from her imagination or the wind hallowing. Nora also complains that Vee didn’t pick up on her mental thoughts on not talking about the movie. When Nora finally asks her not to talk about it anymore, they head over to the library so she can work on her stupid review. Why not just go home? You have no mom to bug you and I’ll bet you forgot, or the author has forgotten, about you housekeeper. And it’s online and I’ll bet you have the computer since you mentioned that your mom makes quite a bit of money.

For some odd reason, Nora feels the need to mention what kind of car Vee has, including the year. Why? What does that have to do with going to the library or the movie they’ve just seen? What’s the point of it?

Vee points out that Nora’s been in a bad mood lately. Nora mentions again that there was a peeping tom in her bedroom-though not out loud- because obviously someone was lurking at her window I mean, all the signs were there and everything. *rolls eyes*

Vee mentions that she’s usually pissed off after biology, but makes it sound like it’s cute and that she might have a crush on him. Please gag me, I can’t stand this and I have eleven pages to go. Once again, Nora repeats how she’s drawn to Patch and I swear it’s the same thing she’s been saying since she met him. What the fuck, Becca? Can’t think up of anything else except how drawn Nora is to Patch?

Nora mentions how long the classes are and how horrible it is she has to spend that much time with Patch all - Huh. Classes are only an hour. Don’t seem that way.

Oh wow, common sense for once sentence! Nora points out that just because someone’s hot, doesn’t mean they’re that great of a person and their hotness shouldn’t count for anything. Good for you, Nora! Though, I’m sure that’s the only time I’ll hear of that so I’ll just move on.

Vee tells Nora that there’s not many boys Nora would fall for. Nora wonders if she’s weird because of that. No, you’re not, Nora. You could be attracted to girls, no biggie, or you could be asexual, I am and it’s not that big of a deal. Oh wait, Nora just wants to find love. In tenth grade. That’s the only reason she’ll get with a guy because of love. In tenth grade. Okay, we’ll pretend to go with that.

While Vee tries to convince Nora that it shouldn’t just be about love, but also about love, she mentions that she thinks Patch would be good in bed. Seriously don’t need this right now! Nora is obviously uncomfortable when it comes to Patch, why are you constantly bringing him up? Nora’s your best friend, you should be making sure she’s not thinking about Patch at all right now!

Now I really know why people hate Vee. She’s a bitch.

They arrive at the library and Nora pulls up her laptop to write her review. What was the point of going to the library then? You didn’t have to bring your laptop to the movie, you could’ve just gone home to type it up.

We find out that Vee is on a diet, and is regretting of eating a bag of apple chips and complains about them. Why? Apples are good, man. They’re my favorite fruit, why do you have to insult them like that? Oh, and of course Vee is on a diet! She’s fat and as we all know, all fat people need to go on color-based and other bad-for-you diets! I know it’s possible that Vee might have an eating disorder or actually might want to lose weight, but this is such a cliché of the fat chick being on diets I’m not even going to give it that.

And just then Marcie Miller comes in and she’s the popular girl that just has to make fun of Nora and Vee all the time because she’s popular and oh, God she’s such a slut with wearing makeup and wearing a skit that’s too short! The short I might get, but Nora has to mention that Marcie wore a gunk of makeup because she doesn’t have freckles on her face and hasn’t had any since seventh grade. You do know that with some people their freckles go away when they get older, right? It’s like with hair color, you can be a little kid with blonde hair but have brown hair when you’re a teenager and still never touched hair dye in your life.

Marcie makes fun of how fat Vee is, and she in turn makes fun of Marcie and it’s all pointless banter. Marcie leaves and Vee goes off to get a romance/sex novel and apparently sex is the only thing on her mind and it’s already irritating me.

Oh, great. Patch is here. Shoot me now. Thankfully, he doesn’t talk and is only in the scene for half a page. Vee wonders if he’s stalking Nora, but instead of what a concerned friend would do and have him checked out, she suggest they look in his student files and acts like they’re in a Nancy Drew mystery, and acts even more excited when Nora sarcastically tells her there’s no dead body for this to be like a real mystery, replying that there could be. Wow. Just wow.

Vee stops at her house, and forces Nora to drive home by herself because of all the fog. Okay, not dwelling on the fact she’s giving away her car to someone, why can’t she just put on her headlights? That’ll solve the problem. And you can drive more slowly so you won’t hit anything or get into a car accident. Is everyone this brain dead stupid?

So Nora’s driving home, again having a repetitive paragraph about Patch, yawn.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

HOLY SHIT SOMETHING’S FINALLY HAPPENING GUYS! AND IT IS FUCKING SCARY!

So it starts raining really hard, and it’s also really foggy. (Can that happen?) And when Nora stops at a red light, she looks around to see if anyone’s coming. Seriously, I would’ve stayed put, you got two signs of bad weather right now, just stay put. But no, she goes into the intersection anyway and ends up hitting a guy.

But here’s the twist, he gets back up like nothing happens and goes all creepy psycho killer on her and tries to FUCKING RIP HER FRONT DOOR OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS DEAD. AND HE STARTS TO SUCEED IN THAT TOO!

After the dude punches the window and GRABS ON TO NORA, she jerks the gas and goes home, making sure the guy isn’t behind her.

And that’s when the chapter ends.

Holy crap, finally fifty pages in and something good happens. I know it won’t last, and knowing why that happened makes Patch even more of a creep, but something FINALLY. FUCKING. HAPPENED.

That doesn’t happen much with Twilight copycats.

[Deleted]

Ok, chapter four. Let’s get this thing started.

We left off when Nora runs over this man and when he picks himself up and looks like he wasn’t hit or anything, starts to rip out her car door and make a grab at her.

I doubt that amazingness will happen again, but we’ll see.

Nora calls Vee about the accident, and Vee assumes that she hit a deer and never gives Nora time to fully explain because she’s worried about the imaginary deer. Nora briefly contemplates as passing it off as a deer so she wouldn’t sound crazy, and let me tell you, the whole thing was pretty crazy. Vee offers for her to stay the night at her place. All I can think about is how it’s convenient for Nora not to have any mom around to make sure she gets home safely. And the housekeeper? What housekeeper?

Nora arrives at Vee’s and she goes out to inspect her car. And then it starts to get weird. None of the damages that should’ve happened were on the car, only a little crack in the windshield. Nora’s going over what just happened and realizes that she can’t remember much about the guy she hit except that she has to compare his black eyes to Patch’s even though loads of people have black eyes.

But yeah, that is some freaky shit going on right there. I would’ve been freaking out if it were me.

The next morning Nora and Vee head out for breakfast and Vee is noticing two guys that are there and gushes over how hot one of them is. And it sounds all vapid and shallow and I don’t really care even though I’m supposed to because we’re going to meet a couple new characters.

One of the guys-who Vee’s calling Mr. Green Sweater-comes up to them. Vee introduces herself and Nora and Nora whines that she didn’t like it when Vee tagged on her last name because of some girl code thing she thinks there is. Anyways Mr. Green Sweater introduces himself as Elliot Saunders and his friend that Vee was also staring at is named Jules. He doesn’t talk much. Elliot offers to buy them something and Nora declines. Vee, being a bitch, tells him that she would like a donut along with herself.

While Elliot goes and gets the donuts, Vee starts chatting Jules up and asks him if he’s rich since he goes to some private school. Jules, having some sense that Vee is a bitch, ignores her and gets away from her as much as he can manage. When Elliot comes back with the donuts, he tells them that he’s transferred from the same private school Jules goes to too the school Vee and Nora go to. He didn’t know it, so he’s not a stalker that we know of. And of course when Vee finds out about it, she gives a not-so-subtle hint about needing dates for the Spring Fling dance coming up.

Nora wants to leave, though she’s only saying that to get the car wreck out of her mind. And talking to two guys wouldn’t? Or is it really because Vee is being obnoxious about them? Nora fakes having a test to study for and drags Vee off to school. Can someone please tell me why they’re friends if they don’t even like what the other is interested in and don’t respect each other at all?

We time jump to the start of biology, Vee still being obnoxious. Patch arrives and sits by Nora, but not before acting rude to Vee since in the meantime she was sitting in his spot. Nora goes off in a boring rant after he complimented her which wasn’t really a compliment as a line to make her mad. And then we get this little scene:

“You smell good, too.” Patch said.
“It’s called a shower,” I said staring straight ahead. When he didn’t answer I turned sideways. “Soap. Shampoo. Hot water.”
“Naked. I know the drill.”

Yeah, that wasn’t perverted at all!

Coach tells the class he’s going to give them a practice quiz to practice for the real test on Friday which I’ve never heard about until now. And geez, for a guy who claims teaching bio is a side job surely puts a lot of effort into it. While taking the quiz, Patch leans in and taunts her about how she looks nervous and on edge. She asks him if he’s following her and of course, he keeps on teasing her and making her more nervous.

Coach blew his whistle to signal the quiz taking is over. And I’m here wondering why he’s allowed to use that in the classroom instead of just saying “Time’s up.” It’s not that hard, and the whistle is unnecessary. Just because he coaches the out of season basketball team doesn’t mean he’s privileged to use it all the time. They go into the topic, which is finally about sex, but Nora doesn’t pay attention and takes a paragraph to ponder if Patch was the guy she hit and if he’s stalking her and it’s all repetitive and stupid. And suddenly class ends.

Are you sure the classes are an hour? They seem to get shorter and shorter each time.

Nora asks Patch to ask Coach to get a new seating chart; her defense is that they aren’t compatible, which is a really stupid excuse. Honey, you can’t sit by your best friend all the time, it doesn’t work like that. Patch randomly says that the qualities he wants in a mate he talked about in the last class was him describing Nora, and refuses to change the seating order. You know Nora, if you don’t like him and since he’s obviously harassing you, you can just go to the principal to sort it out. Oh, and you can also add that Coach is a sexist pig while you’re at it.

Vee comes up and after Patch leaves tells her that his last name is Cipriano, and that she was serious about looking into his student records and tells Nora that she’s going to be the distraction since she has prescription pills she has to take.

And the chapter ends. Thankfully it was short. And I am done for now. Boring chapter is boring. Nothing happened except for a waste of a chapter leading up to Vee and Nora looking through Patch’s files and introducing two new characters for five seconds. Oh, and of course Patch being a pervert because when isn’t he?

See you guys for chapter five.

[annoyed]

Geez, Edward could take creep lessons from this guy

[Deleted]

And here we are at chapter five! The chapter starts off with Nora asking the secretary to check in with the nurse about her pills, all part of Vee’s plan to snatch up Patch’s school record. Seriously Vee, if he’s not the stalker thought we all know he is, then you are. The secretary guides her, and for some reason marks out where the school files are, I guess so the author can make it easier for Nora to find it, and mentions that if the nurse isn’t back that she can “take a seat on the cot inside her office.” Why would the cot be inside the nurse’s office? Wouldn’t it be really cramped? Usually cots are in the actual room and not the office. Or is the office supposed to be the whole room?

Nora frets that it’s all because of Patch that she’s acting out of character, though we didn’t know much-if any-of her character at all before meeting Patch. Nora checks to see if the nurse is there, hoping that she is so Nora can have her pills registered-meaning that she doesn’t? Fitzpatrick, do you know that if anyone caught her with those unregistered pills she can be charged with holding illegal drugs-especially since you said that they were her prescribed pills?

Nora looks over at the student files and wonders what might be in Patch’s record, again claiming that he was lying for not going to a public school because everyone went to a public school and in Nora’s world homeschooling and online schooling don’t exist.

Nora waits for Vee’s signal for a distraction and-

WHAT THE FUCK???

VEE FUCKING CALLED IN A BOMB THREAT JUST SO NORA CAN GET PATCH’S STUPID STUDENT RECORD!!!!!!!!!

HOW STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE??? YOU DON’T CALL IN A BOMB THREAT AND EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE OKAY, YOU JUST DON’T! THAT’S A VERY SERIOUS CRIME EVEN JUST FOR PRETENDING THAT THERE IS ONE! GOD DAMMIT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY BRAIN CELLS AT ALL IN THIS STUPID BOOK??

Oh, and the worse thing is that Nora is completely fine with this. She’s not even angry at Vee for doing that, she’s just reprimanding her name like a parent might do with their child if they get a mess all over themselves.

I am just really disgusting by everyone in this book. How this piece of crap was published, I have no idea.

*still angry* Nora picks up Patch’s student record, saying she has the right to know what’s in there because he’s her biology partner. News flash: She doesn’t. She looks through it quickly before the principal catches her and orders her outside because of the “bomb threat.”

We time jump to Nora at the Boarderline, the restaurant she agreed to meet Vee at. She not-so-subtly hints that she’s heard of the name before, but can’t remember why. Plot twist: it has to do with Patch.

Vee arrives, and I think in trying to sound cute, Fitzpatrick made it sound bitchy when the two “best” friends told the waiter that they weren’t paying for each other. Vee goes on about how she hasn’t eaten since lunch except for some candy she was eating because as we all know, fat people only eat all the time. Seriously, the author isn’t even being subtle about how Vee’s fat! And to make it even worse, Nora goes on saying that Vee is “voluptuous” and really sexy while Nora’s not even though when she first described herself for us, she made her sound a lot sexier than her friend, so I call fail.

The author adds more “subtly” on Vee’s fatness by having her saying if she doesn’t have anything to eat in forty-five seconds she’ll just die. She then excuses herself to go to the bathroom, and tells Nora that she’s on her period though she could’ve just said she needed to pee or something because no one needs to know that. And while she’s heading towards the bathroom, Nora spots Patch and we find out that the reason the Boarderline sounds so familiar to Nora is because she just remembered that Patch told her she worked there…what? Two days ago? Wow, Nora, since you want to know more about him I’m surprised you forgot that.
Patch plops down across from Nora and asks her out, and he also called her “Angel” and even though she doesn’t like it, he’ll keep calling her that. He also mentions that she’d look better with makeup. Okay, I’m a bit peeved off by this, and to avoid ranting about this, I’m just going to say it once and move on:

Girls don’t wear makeup just to impress guys. There are girls who like to wear makeup because they think it makes them look pretty and because it helps their self-esteem. Just because some guy mentions that he thinks a girl will look good without makeup doesn’t mean she’s wearing it to impress you.

Nora declines, but again talks about how if she hung out with Patch it would be dangerous, but oh no! she’s intrigued and she doesn’t know what to do and it’s everything we’ve heard before! Seriously, does Fitzpatrick think we can’t remember something that happened five pages ago?

And then she goes off again saying that she wants to be with Patch because she feels drawn to him and she doesn’t know why that can be! Oh just bite me, I don’t care. I didn’t care the first time and I don’t care now.

Patch flirts with Nora-if you call being-but-acting-like-you’re-not as flirting. And we pretty much get that scene from Twilight when Edward tells Bella he’s too dangerous and she shouldn’t get to know him. We also find out that Patch’s student record is empty. Vee comes back and that’s when the chapter ends.

Ok, so that’s two chapters of practically nothing, except for the bomb threat. That’s just psychotic and stupid.

[Ozymandias II]

^ A BOMB THREAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Don't look up stuff on Patch, Nora! RUN AWAY!

[Deleted]

Yep, a bomb threat. I did not make that up.

[Deleted]

We left off with Vee faking a fucking bomb threat so she and Nora can get Patch’s school record and you have no idea how much I hate Vee and Patch asking Nora out.

In chapter six, we kick off in P.E. class where Nora meets Elliot again. You might not remember him, but he’s the guy Vee was looking at while they were having breakfast. He tells Nora that he has to fit in four years of P.E. since his private school didn’t have P.E. I’m pretty sure all schools must have P.E. so kids can be active and healthy. Then Nora changes the subject out of nowhere and we learn that the only reason Elliot is in public school is because he lost his scholarship at his old one. The P.E. teacher blows her whistle, the only appropriate time to blow it and not in a biology classroom *glares at Coach with loathing*. Elliot stupidly states out that the whistle means something-no, the teacher just wanted to blow it for kicks! Okay that sounded really wrong.

The class heads outside for softball and Miss Sully states that if no one offers to be team captain she’ll pick the teams and that she “[doesn’t] always play fair.” Are ALL the teachers assholes in this school? Elliot and Marcie Miller-when did she get here? I thought Nora would be all over how horrible and what a slut she is-become the team captain. Following that comes really bad dialogue to try to show that Marcie is the stereotypical popular cheerleader and it’s just awful.

So they start the softball game and Nora’s freaking out because she doesn’t know how to play baseball and how she should’ve watched the World Series which is really stupid because watching it won’t make you a better player or anything. Also, I’m sure there’s quite a few people who don’t care about it at all and will purposely get out so they don’t have to actively play, so you can just do that. Nora gets two strikes and Elliot feels the need to go up behind her and guide her on how to swing the bat which was pointless because he just told her to keep focus when Marcie lets go of the ball.

Oh, great. Guess who just showed up?

Patch is watching from the other side of the fence and is talking to Nora in her mind adding even more to his creepiness! God, how creepy is this guy going to get?

And suddenly the ball is heading straight for Nora and she hits and instead of listening to her teammates to stay on first base, she heads to second and gets out. Should’ve listened to your team mates, Nora. Especially if they know more about this sport than you do.

Nora heads to the dugout and Elliot comforts her and flirts with her a bit. Not as creepy as Patch, but not normal flirting either. He asks her if Patch was her boyfriend-if he noticed him why didn’t the teacher? He should be in class-after Nora tells him no, he asks her out and she accepts.

And that’s it. All that happened in this chapter was a stupid softball game for P.E. and a short chapter. Not that I’m complaining.

[Deleted]

Chapter seven starts off with Nora and Dorothea, the housekeeper. Huh, so she gets more than one scene? How many others will there be? Dorothea tells Nora that her mom called and said that she’ll be back by Sunday night. Wait, didn’t Nora say that it won’t be until another month that she’ll come home? Because only a week has happened so far… Dorothea said that Nora’s mom wants her to call her and that apparently Nora’s been calling her every night before bed and makes it sound like a bad thing. What’s wrong with that? She doesn’t get to see her mom a lot, why wouldn’t she call her every night before bed?

Dorothea mentions that a letter from school arrived and out of nowhere we learn that every Monday she visits the school’s psychologist to discuss how she’s coping with her dad’s death. I went back to the first Monday, the first day she has to sit by Patch, and she never mentioned anything about the school’s psychologist or that she skipped the session. It was meet Patch and then it’s nine o’clock at night. Wouldn’t it have made sense to tell us that before so the letter might make more sense?

Well, Dorothea doesn’t care because right after she switched topics and asked if Nora and Vee have anything planned that night. Nora offers her to take a rest and sit down and then out of nowhere again, we get this:

“Dorothea’s gray bun was coming undone as she scrubbed. ‘I am going to a conference tomorrow,’ she said. ‘In Portland. Dr. Melissa Sanchez will speak. She says you think your way to a sexier you. Hormones are powerful drugs. Unless we tell them what we want, they backfire. They work against us.’ Dorothea turned, pointing the Ajax can at me for emphasis. “Now I wake up in the morning and take red lipstick to my mirror. ‘I am sexy,’ I write. ‘Men want me. ‘Sixty five is the new twenty five.’’”

Ok, where did THAT come from? One minute you talk about her mom, then the letter from the school, then ask if Nora has any plans, and then go into a speech that you tell yourself that you’re sexy? I like the sexy thing, more people should do it more for their self-esteem, but that’s…I don’t even know what to say to her random subject changes!

Nora doesn’t notice how random it is for her and goes along with it. Dorothea tells her not to do anything for a man because she thinks her daughter got breast implants for one even though she told her mom that she got it for her. You know, some women like bigger boobs, just because a girl gets bigger boobs doesn’t mean she’s doing it for a boy, y’know. Nora reassures her that there’s no boys, but mentally adds that there are in fact, two and that one “outright frighten.” Dorothea then tells us that when she was a young woman in Germany, she had to choose between two boys. “One was a very wicked boy. The other was my Henry. We are happily married for forty-one years.” This is obviously a metaphor with the Patch-Nora-Elliot thing, but guess which boy Nora is going to choose? If you guessed Elliot, you’re reading the wrong book.

Nora contemplates on whether she should go out with Elliot when Vee calls her. “’Are we doing anything tonight?’ she wanted to know.” No, really? I had no idea! Thanks for pointing that out for me! Nora tells her about the Elliot and Jules double-date thing and Vee is obviously on for it and says she’ll come pick Nora up. Didn’t she just complain a few chapters ago that she didn’t like driving to Nora’s because of all the fog? Or did the mention of boys make her forget all about it? I’m going to take that as a yes.

Vee arrives and criticizes Nora on her appearance, telling her she looks too plain and that she should wear some makeup. I know this is really small, but I really hate Vee in this scene right now. If Nora wanted to wear makeup, she would’ve worn makeup! Oh, but I guess the author only had Nora not to wear makeup to bring up Patch again since he said that Nora looks great without makeup. *rolls eyes before glaring at Fitzpatrick* Will you stop bringing up Patch all the time? I had enough of that creepy douchebag as it is!

Yeah, yeah, I know he’s the Main Love Interest, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

They arrive at the Delphic Seaport, the amusement park they were meeting Elliot and Jules at, and we learn that there’s a new ride called The Archangel. Real subtle with what Patch is, Fitzpatrick. I’m just dying to know what he is since I saw the cover and that there was a quote about falling angels at the beginning of the book, and now this! Oh, whatever could Patch be?

The Archangel is one of those up and down rides and once Vee sees it, she wants to go on it. Nora tells her they’ll do it last, hoping that Vee’ll forget about it and because she’s scared of heights. And then the first ride they go on is a ferris wheel. And that has nothing to do with heights…how? After a couple rides, they go look for Elliot and Jules. Hmm, thought that would be first on Vee’s to-do list.

They search for the arcade and literally the first guy Nora sees is Patch. Thankfully he didn’t go over to talk to them, yet and they find Elliot and Jules. Elliot offers to get them some Cokes, and I gotta say, even though he had some slightly creepy-possessive flirting going on with Nora last chapter, he’s alright. Jules gets away from Vee claiming to go to the bathroom. Once Elliot comes back with Cokes he asks them what they want to play first and Nora suggests air hokey. Oh, only because it’s as far away from Patch as possible. I mean, I get it he’s a perverted douchebag but can we hear something that Nora likes to do? So far I’ve gotten nothing and I’m ninety-nine pages in. Oh wait she’s a Sue with no personality except for how drawn she feels to the Creepy Love Interest.

But Vee ignores her and goes to a foosball and whoever loses buys pizza. Her and Jules against Nora and Elliot. Seriously, why are these two friends? They do nothing but ignore each other. Nora complains that it’s closer to Patch and that’s when Vee spots him. Trying -but failing- to be helpful, she tells Elliot that Patch wants to be more than bio partners and that he might be stalking her and she exaggerates it to a point where the cops might be getting involved. Really, Vee you think that would help? You go way over-the-top in things. First the bomb threat and now this? What, next are you going to tell Jules you’re an astronaut to impress him? Oh, apparently she doesn’t care for Jules because she hand-wavingly said he might have “fell into a toilet.” Does she or does she not like Jules? Because that isn’t the type of attitude you would use if you like someone.

Elliot tells Nora that he’s going to go talk to Patch and get things settled. Nora thinks that’s a bad idea and has no faith in Elliot by thinking that Patch would beat him up or worse. And Vee makes it worse by goading on that Patch will get violent and makes it out as if it won’t be the first time he beats someone up who also likes Nora. Seriously Vee, you’re not making me like you AT ALL SO SHUT UP! Elliot says what we’ve all been thinking! “No offense, but this guy sounds like a creep.” Oh, no offense taken! I think you’re the first character I’ve liked in this book and it only took 101 pages!

But Nora tells him no and that she’ll talk to Patch. As Nora approaches Patch she goes into a paragraph describing how strong and muscular he is and thinks that he must have a lot of scars from street fights he’s been into. Her words-not mine. You know for once I’d like to meet a love interest that looks like a whimp instead of all this hot, muscular guys we keep getting. I’m getting sick of that. Patch makes a snide remark about how he’s playing baseball when Nora asks him what he’s playing. Dude, the game should have the name of it on the top, no need to ask. Patch asks her about Elliot and warns her he may be dangerous. Oh and you’re not?

Patch offers to play a game with him. If he wins-she has to tell Elliot that she’s no longer going to hang out with him that night. When she asks what she gets when she wins, he practically claims that she won’t. Nora then punches him. Not in the face or balls like I’d hope, but she still punched him and that made me happy.

Patch tells her to save a pool table for them-wow, real fair, pick a game she doesn’t know how to play, douchebag-and then talks into her mind again. Nora freaks out and asks him how he does that, Patch denies it the second time she asks him that. She then admits that she’s scared of him and Patch reassures her that “[He] could change her mind.”

Vee calls for Nora and Patch tells her to meet him at the Archangel before leaving. And thus we end the chapter.

So, we finally reached 100 pages and so far the most interesting thing was the guy trying to rip the door of Nora’s car. That’s not good. And unfortunately, I know why it’s there and it makes Patch creepy to the extreme.

[Deleted]

I’ll be honest with you guys-I’m not one for this sporking thing. I prefer to read the sporks than to do the sporks. But since I’m already in this book, I’m gonna go all the way to the end before stopping.

We pick up right where we left off with Nora heading towards the foosball table Vee and Elliot are playing at. Vee asks what happened with Patch and Nora lied and said “Nothing.” And told him to leave her alone. Okay, that wasn’t a lie but the “nothing” was.

Anyways, Elliot wants to get back into the game so he could get some free pizza and Vee comments that Jules still isn’t there and that he probably doesn’t like them. Elliot tells her that he’s just bad at warming up to strangers and goes find him. After he leaves, Vee tells Nora that she told Elliot that Nora had ten guys calling her every night-her attempt to try to get him to make a move. Again, why are they friends? And Vee, that is not going to help.

Nora says she wants to get cotton candy in hopes that it’ll make her forget about Patch. Honey, you bring him up whenever there’s nothing to do about him, you’re not going to get him out of your head. Nora heads out to get the cotton candy and spots the Archangel and starts to head towards it, wondering why Patch would want to meet her there. While walking, she notices a figure dressed in black and has his face concealed and freaks out, but once she looks back at the figure again he’s gone.

And surprise, surprise, she immediately runs into Patch. Like always, he flirts in a creepy way and demands that she rides the Archangel with him. Nora tells him no, but Patch counters that if she doesn’t, she won’t get to know more about him. Why would that be appealing? If someone says they don’t want to get to know you, why offer that? I don’t want to know you. After telling him no again, Patch says he’ll tell Coach to switch the seating if she doesn’t scream for the whole ride. And that was after she said she was afraid of heights, guaranteeing she’ll scream. Wow, first the pool and now this, no wonder she likes you.

But Nora gets in line for the Archangel. She sarcastically asks him if he came here all last year to play hooky after he told her that he goes there a lot. Patch goes into purple prose about how he has a dark past and that he wants to keep it that way, and of course instead of running Nora wants to get to know him even more.

They finally get on the ride and Patch takes the spot in the front. Nora tells us that there’s four angelic paintings all having to do with fallen angels. The ride starts and Patch comments on how she looks pale and Nora thinks that “[she] feels pale.” I don’t know how you can feel pale, but okay.

The ride reaches a hill and after a few moments, plunges down. Nora’s doing good so far on the not screaming thing, trying to focus on something else while she’s at it, until she notices that her seatbelt is off.

When the ride swerves, she gets jerked out of the ride and is hanging on to the tracks for dear life until…the ride stops and she’s perfectly safe. Patch is all smug saying that they’ll still have to be lab partners while making fun of the fact that she screamed. Nora’s still shaking on what she thinks just happened while Patch explains that with the Archangel “the higher up, the harder the fall.” Nora comments that she’s more of a guardian angel person and Patch leads her back to the arcade.

I am so tired of nothing happening. Yeah, the roller coaster thing was weird, but not scary like when Nora hit that guy and he tried to rip her door off. I just want something good to happen now.

Well anyways, see you guys for chapter nine!

[Deleted]

After leaving off with Patch escorting Nora back to the arcade we arrive and Nora notices that Vee, Elliot, and Jules must have left. Patch loves this and tells Nora that now she’ll need a ride home. Nora protests that Vee wouldn’t leave her. I don’t know, Nora, from her previous behavior I wouldn’t count on that.

Nora continues to look for Vee, and Patch still making fun of her. She tries to call her best friend but her phone’s dead despite the fact she recently charged it. She realizes that Vee must be waiting for Nora at her car and heads to the parking lot. But after looking all over the parking lot, Vee’s still not there. Admitting defeat, Nora agrees to get a ride with Patch but tells him to bring her straight home.

Patch takes her to his motorcycle, and for some reason Nora starts lying about how she likes it even though she’s scared to ride one. Well, I can understand- Patch would make fun of her even more, especially while they’re on the road. Patch gets her home, but he stole her keys as an excuse to get inside. Douchebag. Oh, and he asks to be invited outside after Nora says she’s home alone. Idiot. Patch tricks her into inviting him inside by asking if she’s hungry. Once inside, he makes himself right at home and seems to know where everything is. Umm, Nora? I would call the police right now if I were you. Especially since you pointed out he got a knife…

But of course Nora doesn’t listen to me and gets distracted by how her hair looks, which Patch also comments on thinking it’s red while Nora claims it’s brown. While trying to get Patch to leave, he tells her he’ll show her how to make tacos-what he’s making for her. Nora hesitates and he once again makes a deal with her that once again she takes. If he shows her how to make tacos, he’ll answer some of her questions.

We time jump to after dinner and they’re cleaning the dishes. Nora starts to ask her questions starting if he followed her to the library. Then out of nowhere she wants to kiss him. I know why she got that thought out of nowhere, and it makes Jacob’s assault look like child’s play. She jumps away from him and Patch asks her if she’s scared of him. She says no, just that she’s scared of liking him. I have a funny suspicion that she never liked him in the first place and that this is all Patch’s doing-just my theory. It makes a lot of sense anyways.

Patch suddenly picks her up and sets her on the counter and Nora asks him to take off his hat. Right before he kisses her, she tells him to go, but instead he starts to kiss her shoulder and neck. Before things can go any further, he mom calls but almost instantly Nora hangs up on her and tells Patch he needs to leave. Patch does, but reminds her of the party he asked her out to the next night and Nora says she’ll think about it.

Why the author thinks that a lot of nothing makes up a book is beyond me. Well, see you guys for the next chapter.

[Deleted]

Ok, I can't stand this book anymore. I just can't. I know I said I'll stick to the end, but this book is so awful that it would be impossible for me to finish it. when I read something that's awful, I don't bother finishing it because it's well...awful!

Major props to people who do this all the time. I don't understand how you can spork such awful shit all the time.

[Fiery Firefly]

I''ve heard...things about this book. I'm almost afraid to read even sporkings of it, cause I can tell it'll freak me out and get me ranting.

Also did you delete your spork or did you give bad links for the prologue and first chapter, Cindy?

[Deleted]

Oh, oops. I deleted those and I also deleted the originals. Sorry.

[annoyed]

Please continue, I have a morbid fascination with finding out how much creepier this is going to get.

[Fiery Firefly]

I believe Zelda Queen on Livejournal has a sporking of it... *checks* Ah yes here we go.

zelda-queen.livejournal.com/tag/hush%20hush

I've never read it, cause as I said what I've heard about this book makes me think it'll be another book I'll rage about, but if you're curious how it ends, that should do it.

[annoyed]

So I read through the entire sporking... I believe this adequately sums up my reaction to this book:

[EquinoxSolstice92]

Isn't Hush, Hush that YA novel with fallen angels in them? I wanted to write about fallen angels but thanks to this book, I probably shouldn't because it gave the creatures a bad name.
