Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick was by far the BEST book I read this year. It’s part of her Hush, Hush series, I always recommend it to all my friends. Her writing style is brilliant for the series being considered “young adult”. This is the third book and I’ve found as the series goes on her style is becoming more mature. Love it. I have all three books on my Kobo, and the first two in hardcover.
