Crescendo Cover Reveal!

Ta Da!

The Big Reveal!

And here's the chalk drawing of the cover for Crescendo, author Becca Fitzpatrick's sequel to the popular teen fiction novel Hush Hush that I saw on the Fallen Angel Fan site.

It doesn't have the 'wow' factor of the first one. The dress is awfully plain. I like that she is looking back so we don't see her face. The lightning and rain is good. Ditto the red feather but... where's Patch?

I've read comments that say, "This one is Nora's story," so that's why the cover focus is on her. However, I'll confess that while I liked Nora well enough, the big draw for me is sexy Patch. Am I the only one?

The Crescendo cover is okay. Sorry, better than okay, it's really good, but when compared to the first book... No where near the quality and impact of Hush Hush which has such movement and drama. I realize they had a lot to live up to but, gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed. That said, I'm dying to read the book!

Book Summary:

Nora should have know 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?

Coming out November 16, 2010!
