Summary: (from goodreads) The breathtaking conclusion the New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga! The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They’ve overcome the secrets riddled in Patch’s dark past…bridged two irreconcilable worlds…faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty, and trust…and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in each other, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they’ve worked for—and their love—forever...

So, after the major cliffhanger at the end of Crescendo, I was chomping at the bit to get to Silence.

I was so NOT expecting the opening of this book and was actually quite frustrated by it. Nora is found in a cemetery all by herself. She does not know how she got there, who put her there, or any other part of her life during the last few months for that matter. We then learn that she disappeared without a trace in June but has no memory as far back as April which she deduces does not quite add up. Included in her missing memories are ALL things Patch! I seriously wanted to throw my cd player across the room. All I could think was, wow, all of that work and everything they have been through for her to now NOT remember ANY of it. Love is a

powerful thing though because although she has no memory of Patch, deep down Nora knows that she knows him, she may not trust him, but she knows there is something there.

Seriously, could this girl’s life get any weirder? While Nora is trying to get her life and memories straightened back out, she finds out that her Mom is now dating Hank Millar. OMG! Of all of the fish in the sea, she is dating Marci’s Dad!!!!!!!!!! Just shoot me! No Really, shoot me! Poor Nora, I really felt for her in this book but I am glad to say that Scott really stood by her and helped her put some of the pieces together. This story has more than one twist and turn and the ups and downs my emotions went through made me feel like I was on a ride at Delphic but, with that said, I really enjoyed this book. Becca’s writing just keeps me on my toes, there is definitely NEVER A DULL MOMENT.

Patch, my poor, poor Patch. I just wanted to grab this Angel and hug him ( I actually wanted to do a little more than that, but . I missed having him around as much as in the other books of this series.

Narration:

As usual, Caitlin Greer gives life to the characters I have grown to love. Strong enunciation and all. It’s funny because what drove me crazy in the very beginning of this series feels more like home as the series goes on.
