Did you like it? Oh my goodness yes. The plot was fast moving and it produced enough questions to keep me interested and wondering. Originally I was going to wait until daytime of the 2nd to start it because it's my last library book, but by 5am I was on page 300 and I was so glad I'd decided to read it. There was nothing really about the book that was over insightful for it to warrant a 6, but I would definitely give it a 5 or 5.5 out of 6 for pure storytelling ability and beautiful writing ability. I did feel that even though Nora was the protagonist, I connected very little with her, I did not really feel her while reading, while Patch was this whole mysterious/interesting/captivating character I wanted to know more and more about. I did also feel that the ending was a little rushed, it could have easily been another 25-50 pages to wrap everything up properly. But maybe she wanted to leave room for the next book to explain more things.
What's it about? It's about a girl named Nora Grey and a mysterious boy named Patch. He's cocky and annoying and a general pain in Nora's ass, but the more she is annoyed by him the more she seems drawn to him. They definitely have a magnetism through the whole book. He scares Nora until about half way through the book when she starts trusting him (even though he's kind of planning to kill her- that is until he falls in love with her... typical but this "love" felt more real than a lot of others I've read). Nora finds out, though a whole mess of events, that Patch is a fallen angel. Because of this, he can't feel anything....physically, emotionally he's fine. For two weeks out of the year he gets to possess a nephilim (half fallen angel- half human offspring) and with this possession he is able to physically feel. But Patch wants more than that, he's tired of being an fallen angel, he wants to be human. That is, until he meets the person he has to kill to accomplish this (Nora) and can't (because of love).
