Crescendo: Becca Fitzpatrick

     I have to say, I enjoyed this book.  It pissed me off at times, but I think that's part of what made it so good.  I got SO frustrated with some of the characters, I even considered throwing my nook across the room. It kept me interested because I HAD to know what would happen, mostly between Patch and Nora, but other things as well.

     So, Nora just sacrificed herself for Patch, but he wouldn't accept and he became a guardian angel.  Well, one night Nora tells him that she loves him, before that he gave her his necklace and she gave him a ring her dad gave her before he died. But he doesn't respond to the love thing like she thought he would and she's a little hurt.  To cut it short...she broke up with him.  Blah blah blah (insert teenage dating drama here). 
     An old family friend came to town, Scott and his mother.  Nora and he grew up together, but they didn't exactly have a loving relationship.  He still seems to be a big asshole. He's really flirtatious with Nora, but at the same time a jerk. 
     Vee is actually dating Rixon.  And Vee is totally head over heels for this guy and it makes Nora a bit jealous with everything that's happened between her and Patch.  One night Scott invites Nora to a pool hall, so Nora decides to go.  Well she sees Patch there with....her arch nemesis, Marcie.  Marcie is pretty much the world's biggest slut.  Nora is upset and completely thrown by the whole situation.  Not to mention that at about the same time a guy pulls a gun on Scott. 
     Nora has some strange things happen to her, she thinks she sees her dad one day at a cafe.  And she gets this anonymous envelope when she's out one day with Vee.  When she opens it, she finds a ring and a note saying that The Black Hand killed her father.

Characters to know:
Nora Grey: She's still in love with Patch, but keeps denying it.  She kinda pissed me off at times, but so did Patch.
Vee Sky: Nora's best friend and she's hilarious.  She is now dating Rixon.
Patch:  Recently Fallen Angel turned Guardian Angel. I got a little angry with him, he and Nora are just too stubborn.
Scott:  Nora's childhood 'friend'.  He's a gambling drunk...pretty much.  He's has charm, but he's a jerk most of the time. 
Marcie: Pretty much Nora's arch nemesis.  They have been at odds since they were kids.  But Nora doesn't know why Marcie hates her so much.  And she's a huge ho...just sayin'.
Rixon: He's Patch's best friend.  They've been through everything together.  He is also dating Vee, he seems like a good guy.
