''Hush, Hush'' is a ParanormalRomance by Becca Fitzpatrick. It tells the story of Nora Grey, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent a perfectly normal high schooler]] who [[BrainyBrunette dreams of getting a scholarship to Harvard or Yale]] and is not interested in dating. All this is forgotten when [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Patch]] enters the picture. As is to be expected, they end up in a relationship together. This is accompanied by various frightening events happening to Nora, including a person in a ski mask attacking her several times, someone peeking in her bedroom window, and someone ransacking her bedroom, and it looks like it's the work of Patch. Or is it?
The series currently consists of four books (''Hush, Hush'', ''Crescendo'', ''Silence'', and ''Finale''). There is also a graphic novel in the works.
!! Tropes present in the work:
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: Hank Millar]].
* AerithAndBob: Angel names range from Patch[[spoiler:/Jev]] to Rixon to [[spoiler:Dabria]].
* AlphaBitch: Marcie Millar.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Nora and Patch
* AllWomenAreLustful: Nora bemoans how she can't keep control of herself whenever Patch is around. Vee complains about how she's still a virgin. And it's taken UpToEleven with Marcie Millar in ''Crescendo''.
* AuthorAvatar: The way Nora is described bears similarities to how Becca Fitzpatrick looks in terms of hair and body build.
* BastardBoyfriend: Patch.
* BetaCouple: Vee/Jules in ''Hush, Hush'', Vee/[[spoiler:Rixon]] in ''Crescendo'', and Vee/[[spoiler:Scott]] in ''Finale''.
* BlondeGuysAreEvil: [[spoiler: Hank Millar]].
* BrainyBrunette: Nora is a straight-A student who is shooting for a prestigious college.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Nora shows signs of this in ''Silence'' when [[spoiler: she realizes how much her mother has changed things in their household]].
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Patch's]] feather.
* ClingyJealousGirl:
** [[spoiler:Dabria.]]
** Nora gets her turn in ''Crescendo''.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The entire sequence of events that gets Patch and Nora stuck in the motel room together, with no means of communication or way to get home.
* CursedWithAwesome: Being a fallen angel means that you don't feel pain, are insanely strong, and can mind control others. All fallen angels still hate what they are.
* [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating What Mommy Hates]]: Nora is well aware that her mother doesn't like or trust Patch.
* DisappearedDad: Nora's father was murdered shortly before the first book begins.
* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler: Nora has no less than three different parties who want her dead in the first book alone, and at least two others in the sequel. While she does avert being a NeutralFemale, she still relies on Patch more or less for all her rescuing.]]
* DoesNotLikeMen: Vee in ''Silence'', [[spoiler: due to what happened to Nora]].
* DoubleStandard: It's perfectly fine for Vee to gold dig by dating Jules, Patch to use a G-rated seduction on his [[spoiler: ex-girlfriend]] to get what he wants, and for Nora to all but have sex with Patch in a public restroom. Everyone decries Marcie Millar as a shallow, materialistic harlot though.
