Review: Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick


 Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)

I, Dani, have finally gotten my hands on a copy of Finale, the last book in the Hush, Hush series! Here is the review:

Finale (Hush, Hush #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick Reviewed by Dani
Rating: 5 stars


Goodreads Synopsis:
Will love conquer al
l?
Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.
Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.
But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.
As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

 Review:
SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST 3 BOOKS.

This is by far the BEST BOOK in the Hush, Hush series! This really was a breathtaking  Finale to this fantabulous series! Silence (Hush, Hush #3) left the story on a huge cliffhanger. Nora had been turned into a Nephilim by her father, Hank, or better known as the infamous Black Hand. Hank bestowed the job of leading the Nephilim army onto her. Nora killed Hank with Patch’s help, but her problems were nowhere near solved. Now she had to find a solution to an almost impossible dilemma. She had to fulfill her oath to lead the Nephilim army or else she and her mother would die, and she had to fulfill her oath to stop the war between  Nephilim and fallen angels or face the archangels’ wrath. Yet another problem surfaced when Nora realized that devilcraft still roamed the world. She thought that devilcraft had died with Hank, but alas, it had not. How will she fulfill both of her oaths to the Nephilim and to the archangels AND eliminate devilcraft?
I love long books! Finale was about 450 pages long and it answered all of the leftover questions from the previous 3 books! There’s not much that I can say about this book besides the fact that IT IS AMAZING. There was happiness, sadness, sappy Nora-Patch scenes, almost-death situations, and betrayal. All elements of a great story! Nora has finally become a strong heroine. She doesn’t need to depend on Patch or Scott to protect her anymore. She is perfectly capable of defending herself, although Patch is still sweetly paranoid of her safety. Have you ever had a boyfriend who put a friggin TRACKING DEVICE on you? Only Patch...
The climax was so emotionally scary that it almost made me cry A traitor was revealed, a good friend died, another good friend’s secret was brought into the open, and something terrible happened to our favorite bad boy. This is truly a modern fairytale full of dark twists and turns, complex characters, innovative ideas, and true love. Finale captivated me from the first page and I couldn't stop thinking about it even after reading it! My brain kept trying to process what had happened and how in the world Nora and Patch had found a solution to their seemingly impossible dilemma. Becca Fitzpatrick, you have created an unforgettable YA series that will be loved years after its publication. Thank you for creating Nora, Patch, Vee, Scott, crafty villains, and the whole cast of characters. Thank you for being amazing and deciding to put your ideas on paper and for getting them published. <3
If you were disappointed by one of more of the previous books in this series, then I still recommend that you read Finale. I didn't enjoy one of the previous books, but I loved this one. Even if you're frustrated with the characters are the events that unfolded, read it for Patch!
I know that I usually like to put a few quotes in my reviews, but this time, I think that I’ll pass. You can read about Patch’s humour, hotness, and the Nora-Patch moments on your own. If you have read the previous 3 Hush, Hush books, you must be as eager to read Finale as I was! So, embark on your journey and kick some devilcraft butt.
