Review: Silence

Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this one, yes, I wanted to strangle some character AGAIN! but Nora was better at taking her memories removed. I wish they realize that all the suffering can be evaded by friends were honest and could take supernatural as given. This being said, Scott is not douchebag, Dabria is not gone and Hank has a bigger plan. I must say that I like the consistency throughout the series. near to the last third of the book there is a solving plot twist that leads to a cliffhanger in which things get complicated for Nora and Patch (who goes by the name of Jev in most of this book).
I liked when they are in Patch's place and how it is described as modern and masculine, with black countertops and so. I was expecting Nora and the Archangel to have more contact, but I can live with what happened in the story because truly... Patch is smart, I could have never guessed the elaborated plan of all fronts as easily as he did. But I was starting to question about the inheritance of Chauncey and if they all should have died as when a Vampire sire is killed. It was a plausible explanation.
I still hate Marcie, I think Vee was not as great as in the previous books, and I believe that Nora could be a little smarter... She could have find Patch before if she was not telling everyone how she felt and how was she uncovering truths.
It remains unclear to me the lineage of Chauncey and how Nora could be the female descendant they were looking for. I have questions about their genealogy. I am not even sure that Blythe is her mother, nor how Chauncey could have descendants. That would mean that in 2010 half of Earth's population has some Nephilim blood, and I also wonder if they sacrificed Marcie, would then Patch get a mortal body? Hasn't that ocurred to them?
In this book we see Patch in action, and he is neither good or evil which I like. I am into these non side characters and enjoying.
Let's see if they can prevent a massive war between the fallen, archangels and Nephilim, and I wish I knew more about Archangels in the next one.
Last chapter was a great bonus, that means that Vee and Nora knew Patch and Rixon before they met them, to kill her was always the plan. Good one.
