Review:
“A sacred Oath, a fallen angel, a forbidden love When Nora and Patch are forced together as lab partners, Nora would rather fall to her death than put up with his elusive answers to her questions, his teasing, and his infuriatingly handsome face and hypnotizing eyes. It seems Patch was put on earth just to drive her crazy. But before long, Nora's defenses start to break down as her curiosity about Patch heats up. Why does he always seem to be wherever she is and know exactly what she's thinking? How does he know what to say to both attract and repulse her? And what is up with those V-shaped scars on his chiseled back? As their connection grows stronger, Nora's own life becomes increasingly fragile. Nora needs to decide: Is Patch the one who wants to do her harm or the one who will keep her safe? Has she fallen for one of the fallen? Becca Fitzpatrick's New York Times bestselling debut is a page-turning leap into the unknown world of fallen angels. Do you have someone to catch you?”
The story starts with Nora (a fatherless teen with red hair) being paired up with Patch, a good-looking albeit really mysterious classmate she doesn’t like at all… for now.
At first it’s kinda confusing because he’s all sexy and trying to kiss her one minute and grabbing a knife the next. But then again, he has his reasons, weird supernatural ones, yes, but reasons all the same.
As you might have guessed from the blurb and the cover, yes, he’s a fallen angel. The author managed to explain little by little the complicated rules that these creatures have to follow and all the hierarchies there are. Patch is… well… Patch. He’s a very strong, very conflicted character. It’s like he’s being pulled from two opposite sides at the same time. He’s not just the hot guy who thinks he’s dangerous and is trying to show everyone he’s walking away from the girl in order to do the right thing. He’s really dangerous, but he uses this to protect Nora. That’s all I can say about him without spoilers.
Nora is not your typical teen who falls in love and just wants to be with the guy. She doesn’t just fight ‘for her man’, she fights against evil, and what she thinks should be punished. I liked her, but sometimes I was like: guuurlll! Don’t go in there! What were you thinking?!
The secondary characters are great. I loved Vee, Scott and even Marcie, yes, even her.
I found myself hooked on these books without being able to stop reading. So if you like fantasy and romance these books are right up your alley.
