Waiting On Wednesday #19

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
Published: November 16th 2010 (Simon & Schuster)

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?

Deary deary Lord, how fabulous is this cover? It is amazing but definitely not what I expected. I love the red feather and the fact that it is the same colour as the Hush, Hush cover. Cannot. Wait.

This cover isn't something I'd usually go for, but looking at it now- it has excitement, mystery, and danger in it, I like it!

I liked (but didn't love) Hush, Hush but this sounds promising so I might give it a try.

November?! Aaargh. For some reason in my head I was expecting this one around September, and now it seems even further away! Great pick though. :)
