Hush Hush

Hush Hush
Becca Fitzpatrick
400/400


           My book is very complex as it is a fantasy. There are many antagonists, including the fact that one of the antagonists is as well a protagonist. There are three main antagonists, Chauncey Langeais, Dabria, and Patch. As I mentioned previously, one of the antagonists is a protagonist, the two protagonists are Patch and Nora.

        Nora Grey is the main protagonist out of the two. Romance was never part of Nora's plan, shes never been interested in any of the guys at school. Although, her best friend Vee no matter what still keeps pushing Nora to go out more often and meet new guys. Only until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes he draws Nora to him, against her will. But, after all of the terryfing encounters, Nora is not sure if she who to trust him. He seems to be everywhere and seems to know more about her closest friends than she does. She isn't sure whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide.When she tries seeking answers she find herself near a truth that is more unsettling than anything she felt. For she is right in the middle of a battle in between the immortal and those who have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides she has to choose wisely or else her decision could cost her life. Since Nora is a descendant of the Nephilim Chauncey Langeais, who was Patch's Nephilim vessel, Patch needs to sacrifice a female descendant from the Nephilim vessel in order to become human which was Nora. He planned on sacrificing her life until they fell in love. At the end of Hush Hush, Nora sacrifices herself in order to kill Chauncey and save both hers and Patches lives, although Patch rejected her sacrifice. Meaning that Nora came back to life, but it ruined all the chances of Patch becoming human.

     Patch Cipriano is one of the antagonists and protagonists. Patch is a fallen angel, with a desire to save and kill Nora. Initially he transfers to Noras high school in order to be able to kill her easier, but he is unable to since he falls in love with her, despite the fact that he cannot feel anything physically. It is explained in the book that it feels as if he is experiencing everything to a pane of glass, he can experience emotions but he cannot feel physically. He is a very powerful fallen angel with many enemies. He was lost, confused, alone and all he wanted to do was become human until he met Nora. Patch is faced with a very big choice when his ex-girlfriend, Dabria (one of the other antagonists) tells him he needs to save her from death in order to become a guardian angel or become human by sacrificing her. Patch is sly, brooding and frequently leaves Nora tongue tied and furious. Nora finds out that he is a fallen angel and then learns about his past throughout the book. He lost his angels because he fell in love with a human girl and tried to be with her. Although, when he failed to take control of a human body his wings were ripped out when he attempted to return to heaven. Although, when he rejects Nora's sacrifice he become a guardian angel, and he regains his ability to fly although he still cannot feel since he hasn't yet "earned" the right to feel back.

   Chauncey Langeais/Jace is one of the main antagonists as he wants to kill Nora. He is Patchs former Nephilim vessel who wants revenge on the fallen angel for tricking him into swearing an oath that allows Patch o take over his body for two weeks during the Hebrew month of Cheshvan. He inherited the power to create illusions from his father, he uses his powers to frighten Nora several times throughout the books. Since Patch cannot be hurt because he cannot feel any pain physically Jules/Chauncey believes that the only way to hurt patch is emotionally, by hurting Nora (more precisely killing her).

   Dabria is Patch's ex. She doesn't cause too much trouble except for attempting to kill Nora since Patch wanted to stay in the human world for her but Dabria wanted Patch to go back to being an angel so that they can be together.
