Summary:( as quoted from book jacket)Nora Grey’s life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn’t pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He’s more elusive than ever (if that’s possible) and what’s worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora’s archenemy, Marcie Millar.
Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn’t been acting so distant. Even with Scott’s totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he is hiding something.
If that weren’t enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly difficult situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

My thoughts:
Crescendo was a lovely companion to Hush, Hush. Although a bit slow in the beginning, once I got into the book, I couldn’t put it down. As Nora tries to find out why Patch is being so distant, she also uncovers very interesting clues about her father’s murderer. Vee gets funnier in this book, and the loyalty between her and Nora increases. There is a big cliffhanger ending and I am dying to see where the story goes from here.
5/5
