May we never forget that Patch drove her home when she told him not to, came inside her house when she did not want him to, and then started MAKING DINNER for her. Also, the sexy love interest wears a blue baseball hat with his leather jacket and black jeans and black combat boots.
Yeah the whole time I was reading the series I was constantly taken out of it because of the baseball cap. Without it Patch would have like an emo/edgy look going on, but the hat just ruins it for me 😂😂😂
It’s the inconsistencies and blatant contrivances that kill this series. For example; Nora; Oh no. Patch. If they burn your feather, you get sent to hell? Patch; Nah baby, all my feathers burned in the fall. They have no feathers to use against me. •fourth book they burn patch’s feather and send him to hell•
I think that’s because he got his wings back at the end of the first book but then they got ripped off again by Hank when Patch was bargaining for Nora in the flashback memory thing in the third book.

To everyone wondering about the thumbnail: It translates to "I can be your angle or your devil". It's not a typo, it's a meme you can look up. It's based on two pictures of Arin Hanson a.k.a. Egoraptor a.k.a. a member of GameGrumps (I think).
It's actually even older than the Arin version. The first documented instance was on r/cringe as far back as 2014. Edit: Never mind, it's even older. James posted a link to the KYM page.
Jew here. Cheshvan (the ch is pronounced like you're clearing your throat, like Chanukah) is not two weeks, its a regular 29-30 day month. It is also the most unimportant of the Jewish months, as it is the only month without a Jewish 'holiday'

This is such a comfort series for me. I read this when I was in middle school and since then I recognised its flaws and accepted them wholeheartedly. I still read this from time to time just to feel this familiar story close to me again

I used to love hush hush in my early teens and for some reason I decided to try reading it again now (almost a decade later) and I couldn't even bring myself to finish the first book. Patch is low-key a creep 😳 Random comment but your hair looks nice long!!
when i was 14/15 i wrote a seething goodreads review about this and said i wished nora would just get with vee instead. he pissed me off so much. now, i cant really hate him. he’s a little weird, but i get why his pushiness can appeal to some girls, as weird as that is.
The book was suppose to be a stand alone but since it did so well the publishers asked Becca Fitzpatrick to make it a series which is why Cresendo is the weakest book (in my opinion) because Beccas was trying to figure shit out.
I'm only starting the video, but I've always thinked that the titles are a reflection of the plot progression, perhaps? Like Twilight did, to a lesser extent. You know, because there are instances on the books where the Twilight characters mention the astronomical events in a poetic way that relates to their feelings, while said events also allude to the overall arc. In Hush, Hush, it starts as a whisper, of something that is not to be told, to not be listened, to not be started, which fits that one for... Many reasons. I don't know anything about the other books, but Crescendo is the act of music progressively getting louder, (the plot escalating), Silence is the Second Act Finale, where conflict is at its worse and suspense reigns on everybody. It's abrupt, uneasy. Edge of your seat, in the audience. And then, Finale, is the resolution. It ends. The ovations would probably be Nora and Patch's happily ever after. It's simmilar to what Twilight did, I tell ya, more or less. And Beautiful Creatures, tood. And to an even lesser, lesser extent, Fallen. The titles are about the plot progression more than anything: the first act is calm, the second act is dark and/or lonely, because things are escalating, the third book is where the conflict reaches its worse and/or the greatest choices are made (end of the second act, start of the third) and the fourth book is the resolution.
After all of the characters coming inside everyone else, I admit that 'it's got a pretty good climax' is the straw that broke the camel's back and finally pushed me over the edge.
32:35 etc. ... James, I think this sexual language is intended to make the possession sound like a rape. Which is also the reason why it's unbearable for the Nephilim, even though it's only for two weeks a year. Btw. the singular of "Nephilim" is "Nephil" (or "Naphil" according to German Wikipedia).
ew. i didn’t get that vibe when i read this a couple years ago, saw it more as like.. mind control in fiction? but if that’s what they were going for that makes me deeply uncomfortable.
There’s a trilogy called Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins and it’s another angel type story YA romance and I recently read it (as a 19 year old) and i really enjoyed it. I thought most of the characters were written well and there weren’t any obvious plot holes (like I noticed in this series)
"Do you have any idea how it's like to have someone come inside you and completely take over?" You don't even need a thirteen year old boy filter to spot that xDD
No joke, James with a long hair and a clip looks like that one guy who attends a random guy's funeral just to see if he can mug the priest for some reason afterwards
4:04 I read this whole series in high school and loved it lol. I think the titles are that way maybe cuz it’s like you said “twilight clone” but also the titles stand out from a lot of other books. And like “hush hush” cuz the fact that angels and hell exists is a secret and “finale” cuz it’s the final book. Idk about the other two
I thought the choice for book titles was a bit odd. Cuz like, crescendo and finale could be musical references (like descriptions written in a composition, maybe) but hush, hush and silence don’t really fit with that. There are musical terms (I’m pretty sure) that could work, but 🤷🏻♀️
I love memes that you need to know several languages for to understand. As a thumbnail it was probably a little alienating for non-German speaking viewers though. Who cares though, the demographic for this video is clearly me, specifically.
33:10 another thing is that if the Nephilim had won then fallen angels would possess ordinary humans who would die en masse from the toll possession by an angel takes on their body
My instinct for the nephilim is that there's a part in the bible where some angels take human wives, and that's where they come from.. but idk if that makes sense. I did read the first book as a teen but I guess I hated it bc I erased it from my mind
i know being aware and disapproving of the red flags is essentially a basic human decency but when i remember this lad has a sister (if am not mistaken at least) his hyper-vigilant attitude to all the red flags gets another layer of reason and i think it's pretty pog.
This video is good but I'd say I like the longer more in dept better, specially with less than good media where the fun is in the details Also I listen to these when I have to do boring repetitive work so understand that every minute of your reviews is very valuable xD
I dunno man, I know I wouldn't want to lose two weeks of my life. I'm a pretty indoorsy person with not a lot of friends, and suddenly realizing I can't remember the last two weeks, *at all*, would be terrifying to me, especially if it comes with those weird amnesia-solving trauma dreams people like to put in these kinds of books. I wouldn't be pleased to know that for all that time, a fallen angel was taking my body on a joyride. I find the sentiment of wanting my body *not* to be taken against my will to be an understandable, reasonable, and very simple one to empathize with.
My older sister made mii characters for Nora and Patch on our Wii. I had never read the book but it was fun to imagine the Miis she made when you were describing the events.
I first read this series when I was 15 and fell in love with it and I still find myself drifting back to them every once in a while. I think I’ve re-read the whole series about 3 or 4 times 😂 it’s a comfort series for sure. Over the years I’ve discovered much better books, but whenever I find myself wanting to read, but don’t really want to get into new lore or an unfamiliar universe, this is what I gravitate to 😂 I’d call it a guilty pleasure, but I like what I like and I don’t feel guilty about it lol Also, I want to clarify the reason for Chauncey’s death. Since Nora is his descendant, her life is linked with his. If she dies, so does he. So Chauncey would’ve died regardless of whether or not Patch accepted her sacrifice.
I really like these series reviews! You've covered a lot of books that I had wanted to read back in the day as a preteen girl but never got around to, so it's interesting to hear about their stories.
About the creation of the Nephilim- I believe it was said in the books that the Fallen Angels could possess normal humans, just that it would quickly end up killing the hosts. So maybe that's how it worked?
I liked the meme clips, although sometimes they were a little too long or to quickly next to each-other but not that it bothered me much. Also I wanted to applaud your audio quality! Nice that you got rid of the static in the background.
I've found your channel like a week ago and I'm really enjoying the stuff about the paranormal romance that you post. I grew up on those books, loving them, and now as an adult I love to go back and like... see them for real? Great content, I agree with a lot of points you put in your videos. Would love them to be even longer. I really hope someday I will see video essay about Mortal Instruments and the trilogy prequel, but in-depth and all. Thanks for the great content!
I remember really liking this series around when I was 13 (the cover off the first absolutely intrigued me). I remember staying up late to finish the third book right after the translated (norwegian) version was released. However, by the time the 4th was released a year later or so my interest had dropped off and I never ended up finishing the series, even though I have the last book on my shelf. Maybe I should go back and get to the end. :P
If you are looking for the good version of Twilight, the manga series Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a recent take on the genre and it is very good. Very heart-warming but also chock full of hot topic horror aesthetic
"Ich kann dein Winkel sein, oder dein Teufel" Intended translation: "I can be your angel, or your devil" Actual translation (probably because of typo when putting it in Google Translate): "I can be your angle, or your devil"
I will never be able to get past Nora being ok that Patch originally was going to kill her and had been hanging out with her then erasing her mind for months before "officially" meeting her
Also i will never get why she didnt swear an oath to patch so that he was the only one to possess her since hr Does not Want to do that and Really Wants her Safe Would of stopped all the issues with fallen angels trying to torture her
Being immortal doesn’t necessarily make one invulnerable, but is more often a side effect of the invulnerability. Immortal means ‘living forever; never dying or decaying.’ Thus calling the Nephilim immortal is correct in the sense that they don’t decay or age like vampires. Vampires have many weaknesses yet everyone accepts that they are immortal creatures. Lobsters are also considered to be immortal because they only die with outside effects done to them, like being boiled. They do not die from old age.
I read hush hush in middle school and I really wanted to like it because the covers were really intriguing and the concept sounded cool. But I never finished the series because the ending of the 1st book was really disappointing and not satisfying :/
Aaah I read the first book post-Twilight craze and it was a guilty pleasure lol. Then I haven't continued the series yet but somehow I still don't want to be spoiled so I'm just gonna leave this comment here and come back after (eventually) finishing them 😂
This may be stupid, but if Patch possessed her ancestor all those many years ago and did the deed to make a nephil, doesn't that make him her great( x whatever the hell ) grand father?

Would love them to be even longer. I really hope someday I will see video essay about Mortal Instruments and the trilogy prequel, but in-depth and all.
Thanks for the great content!
Also the sprinkeled in r kelly interview had me rolling
please never stop making these
I'm so mad that I missed this review when it was released.
You mate are So on spot. I have such fan with your videos. You deserve So Much happiness! ❤️

Can I ask why you love doing German puns?
It isn't German pun. It's pun if translated into English.
I guess the actual question would be why he does them in german
for the longest time i thought it was a new stupid youtube thing where they now also badly translate thumbnail text
@@canopus5498 lmao same
God, the only one bed thing gives me so many fanfic vibes...
I remember really liking this series around when I was 13 (the cover off the first absolutely intrigued me). I remember staying up late to finish the third book right after the translated (norwegian) version was released. However, by the time the 4th was released a year later or so my interest had dropped off and I never ended up finishing the series, even though I have the last book on my shelf. Maybe I should go back and get to the end. :P
Fellow Norwegian says hi 👋
If you are looking for the good version of Twilight, the manga series Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a recent take on the genre and it is very good. Very heart-warming but also chock full of hot topic horror aesthetic
I have the first two books and I enjoyed them.
For some reasons I always get the introduction song stuck in my head
Shame it’s not very good.

How to flirt according to this book:
Step 1: Force your way into a house
Step 2: Make tacos
There is no step 3, this is peek romance
The definition of “Ok.”
I love your hair clip
"Ich kann dein Winkel sein, oder dein Teufel"
Intended translation: "I can be your angel, or your devil"
Actual translation (probably because of typo when putting it in Google Translate): "I can be your angle, or your devil"
On no, that was on purpose
Can confirm, _Winkel_ means angle.
yeah. It hits my german heart really deep. My type of haha-humor

What is it with these YA series trying to cram the entirety of their multi-volume plots into the in-universe space of a few weeks?
How many of these YA angel romance authors played FF7 and crushed on Sephiroth? Because I feel like the number is higher than I’m imagining.
I will never be able to get past Nora being ok that Patch originally was going to kill her and had been hanging out with her then erasing her mind for months before "officially" meeting her
Also i will never get why she didnt swear an oath to patch so that he was the only one to possess her since hr Does not Want to do that and Really Wants her Safe
Would of stopped all the issues with fallen angels trying to torture her
These books sound like it is like watching Riverdale or the Vampire diaries. Just a lot of "WTF" and "thats stupid"
Being immortal doesn’t necessarily make one invulnerable, but is more often a side effect of the invulnerability. Immortal means ‘living forever; never dying or decaying.’ Thus calling the Nephilim immortal is correct in the sense that they don’t decay or age like vampires. Vampires have many weaknesses yet everyone accepts that they are immortal creatures. Lobsters are also considered to be immortal because they only die with outside effects done to them, like being boiled. They do not die from old age.
I read hush hush in middle school and I really wanted to like it because the covers were really intriguing and the concept sounded cool. But I never finished the series because the ending of the 1st book was really disappointing and not satisfying :/
Ok. Who didn't come in someone yet?
It’s wild how well the R.Kelly clips work! 😂😂😂
Shorter format? Brother, you are the Brandon Sanderson of TH-cam book reviews.
Aaah I read the first book post-Twilight craze and it was a guilty pleasure lol. Then I haven't continued the series yet but somehow I still don't want to be spoiled so I'm just gonna leave this comment here and come back after (eventually) finishing them 😂
"thirty to fourty minutes"
This may be stupid, but if Patch possessed her ancestor all those many years ago and did the deed to make a nephil, doesn't that make him her great( x whatever the hell ) grand father?
I loved those books when I read them in highschool
Blue bloods is the book you're looking for
Out of all the clones of twighlight I liked hush hush
I love how In the thumbnails he uses the German word vor angle (Winkel) not for angel (Engel) but maybe it was on purpose … still funny af xd
Quick real question, does reading so many crappy books have any impact on your mental health? I get kinda concerned about it sometimes.
