A sacred oath, a fallen angel, a forbidden love...This darkly romantic story features our heroine, Nora Grey, a seemingly normal teenage girl with her own shadowy connection to the Nephilim, and super-alluring bad boy, Patch, now her deskmate in biology class. Together they find themselves at the centre of a centuries-old feud between a fallen angel and a Nephilim...Forced to sit next to Patch in science class, Nora attempts to resist his flirting, though gradually falls for him against her better judgment. Meanwhile creepy things are going on with a mysterious stalker following her car, breaking into her house and attacking her best friend, Vi. Nora suspects Patch, but there are other suspects too - not least a new boy who has transferred from a different college after being wrongly accused of murdering his girlfriend. And he seems to have taken a shine to Nora...Love certainly is dangerous...and someone is going to have to make the ultimate sacrifice for it.
I had high hopes for this book, it had a lot of ratings with an average of 4.0 and I saw it on a goodreads list to read and the plot sounded good. In the first part of the book, I almost stopped reading the characters were annoying me but I continued on, hoping that things would get better. Even after everything was revealed, there was nothing there to make me say, this was a great book. I liked the main character Nora for the most part, but every time she had a scene with Patch, I was just so annoyed with her. I did not like the other characters, I found Vee annoying and that doesn't hold a candle to how I feel about Patch. I get he was suppose to be the bad boy but there is a difference between hard core and being a stalker. I did not like how he never listened to Nora, evaded her personal space, grabbed her, chased her and just all around forced his will upon her. He never really listened to her and when he would grab her and wouldn't back off, I just found that creepy and I wished Nora wouldn't have put up with it. She was such a push over when it came to Patch and I wish she would of be a strong girl who would of not let Patch treat her like that. There was a couple of things I liked about the story but overall there was just too much that I didn't like and I just don't get why it has such high ratings.
I've in the past, read the next book in the series because sometimes they get better, but I read the summary of the plot and it just doesn't sound that interesting, even though it has such high ratings.
