Hush Hush was a really intense book once it got going. And that somehow makes it hard to find themes and messages. But maybe I'll surprise myself and write more than I expected. Anyway, here they are.
1. Always follow love, even if it seems like it will go down a bad path. Nora felt attracted to Patch, and she didn't like the attraction. However, later in the book, by letting herself feel this, she developed a strong bond with Patch which helped her out of some sticky situations.
2. Things are unpredictable. Patch. Nora thought he was some creepy dude who put on a ski mask and tried to kill her. While at the end of the book, he saved her life, and wasn't so creepy when he became her guardian angel. And for the ski mask, he was Jules, totally unsuspected. And Nora thought she would die when she threw herself off the rafters, turns out she didn't.
3. Control your fear. All sorts of bad things happen when Nora got scared. Jules was able to manipulate it and make her feel trapped. Of course, when she overcame it, she escaped. Also, Patch controlled her fear sometimes, which once again got her into awkward situations.
4. And finally, there's got to be some sort of message relating to the falling angels. Something like don't succumb to temptation. Or some other moral that has a biblely feel to it. I can't really think of it right now.
