Unable to remember much more of Patch than the color black, she knows something is missing.

It presents a challenge for her and with that challenge she's going to learn quite a bit about herself, her heritage, and those she has chosen as allies. Basically, the whole idea of Nora losing her memory I definitely liked. I pretty much just mentioned how I feel about the plot in the last paragraph but I guess I can expand upon it. I still enjoyed the book, and felt it worth at least 4 stars. But, at the same time, you learn more in Silence because now Nora has to piece together those months she can't remember. The part I found frustrating was having to learn everything all over again, especially since you already know so much from the previous two books in the series. Her family and friends aren't telling her the truth, and she's only seeing bits and pieces of the missing time.

Nora has lost her memory and can't remember the past 5 months - conveniently (or inconveniently) they're the months that she knew Patch. Read moreĪlthough this book starts off slow, I tolerated it a lot more than I tolerated Crescendo because at least we didn't have Marcie pawing at Patch. Nora is a stronger character now and finally seems like she's actually ready to take charge of her own life. The occasional teenage moment sneaks through which is okay because, hello, she is a teenager. I love the fact that Nora is more mature now. Silence is well balanced, no more jumping from one extreme to another. The characters personalities are more thought out and actually remain consistent throughout the whole book. In case you're wondering, yes, you will get the details of what happened when Hank Millar showed up that fateful night rudely interrupting Patch and Nora.Silence was significantly better than the first two novels. Yes Scottie the hottie is back! I'm beyond thrilled that I did not have to spend the entire novel rereading stuff that I already knew. Nora quickly catches up on the important highlights of the last five months of her life from an unlikely source, Scott. After reading Silence I am relieved that it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

After the cliffhanger ending of Crescendo I was less than thrilled with the idea of Nora having amnesia. Not only are the curious glances bothering her but Nora has the distinct feeling that the two most important people in her life, her mom and Vee, are hiding something. Everyone keeps looking at Nora like she's 'that girl,' the one who was kidnapped and cannot remember what happened to her. On her first day of school Nora quickly realizes that it is never going to happen. After waking up in a cemetery with amnesia Nora tries to dive back into her old life. Originally published on my blog, My Urban FantasiesSilence takes place three months after Crescendo.
