"Hush, Hush" it's a mystery

"Hush, Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick, is about a sixteen year old girl named Nora Grey.  Nora lives with her mother in a farmhouse on the outskirts of town, away from everyone and everything.  Her best friend is Vee, and they do everything together, up until their biology teacher creates a new seating arrangement.  In this class, Vee and Nora are forces to sit separately, and Patch is moved next to Nora.  With just this one small change, Nora's life is turned upside down.  Strange events start happening.  Nora gets a feeling that she is being watched and does not like this sensation at all.

Nora Grey is just an average sixteen year old.  She is always worried about her grades, fitting in, and the condition of her Fiat Spider.  She never worried about any guys, that is up until she meets Patch.  Patch is a fallen angel.  He is a new high school student that loves being with Nora everyday in biology class.  Outside of school Patch always happens to run into Nora.  It isn't long before Nora begins to get strange feelings for Patch; she likes him, but she does not want him to know because she is intimidated by him.  Another character named Elliot also plays an important role in the novel.  He is a recent transfer to Nora's school; both Nora and Vee meet him on the morning of his first day in attendance.

Nora begins to feel like she is always being watched and notices the same person every time she gets this sensation.  This person runs into Vee's car, breaks into Nora's house, and even goes as far as hurting Vee, thinking she was Nora.  Nora gets really suspicious and has no idea who it is.  

None of these mysterious events started happening until Nora met Patch and Elliott.  Could it be one of them that is torturing Nora and wanting to hurt her?  "Hush, Hush" it is available here at Burton's Library, thanks to Mrs. Poteet.  Check it out to find out more.  After finishing the first novel in this sequence, check out the rest of the "Hush, Hush" saga.
