FAVOURITE BOOK
Super long review WARNING
'A fallen ANGEL......A forbidden LOVE'
HOW CAN I NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK? I can't, I adore everything about this book, the cover, the story ...THE CHARACTERS
So we start of with the Prologue, Loire Valley, France 1565. It tells us about a man Chauncey and a boy. Its a great introduction to the story, very mysterious...I think it gives a good bit of background info for the book to lead off from. I was curious about the boy/ angel, this made me want read on! I also love that passage from Peter 2:4, which started the book. It gave a feel for the book and what was to follow.
'....God spared not the Angels that sinned,
But casted them down to hell,
And delivered them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgment.....'
Then we jump into the present day, I love the way this is written. The fact that it starts off with a Sex Ed lesson is very amusing, it sets the tone to the book and I just thought it was great! We meet Vee and Nora. Nora is the main character, and Vee her best friend. The way they are made to not sit next to each other in class, made me laugh because its so like my friends. I love how you can connect with this book. And of course you need a SEXY male character...in comes Patch. Arrogant, sexy and a bad boy...pushes Nora's buttons which makes for a funny read, because he just loves to make Nora uncomfortable!
Patch and Nora are forced to work together, which means more spending time together much to Nora's disgust. I love the banter between the two...its funny and enjoyable. Patch uses charm to distract Nora at times, making this book hot too!
After spending time at Vee' s, Nora is forced to drives Vee's car home in the 'patchy' fog. She hits something in the dark, a person but he was not injured....WEIRD...it gets creepy when the man walks to the car and tears the door clean off the car! Then when Nora shows Vee, the car is totally fine? WHAT THE HELL....this book is so mysterious and exciting!
Later on in the book (one of my favourite parts) is when Vee and Nora go to the theme park, to meet up with two guys they meet earlier. But who do they happen to see hmm? PATCH <3 Nora and Patch go on The Archangel a new ride at the park. This is when it all starts to get even more exciting. Nora is shown her falling off the coster to her death, she experiences what its like to almost die, but then Patch saves her. Weird stuff... Nora gets a ride off Patch and he takes her home, and seems to invite him self in. I think Nora is slightly scared of Patch at this point. But he's cool, calm, arrogant character means he controls everything. Then when Patch pushes more buttons and gets his sexy on, i think he really does like Nora but also likes annoying her.
About 1/3 of the way through the book Vee and Nora are attacked, this is the third weird thing to happen to Nora. She is suspicious around Patch, because everything bad that happens he seems to be there, he knows so much about her...I mean I would be freaked out too! But she can't stop her attraction to him either.
Yet another strange encounter happens....I believe this is number 4...Someone was in Nora's house, she knows it we know it, but no one really believes her. This is clever because it makes all her other experiences also feel like she is making them up, and is going crazy.
Elliot one of the boys the two girls went on a date with...he seemed nice but now they think he murdered someone....hmmmm the plot thickens ! This book is so action packed you really have to keep up and try to remember everything that has happened.
Okay so up next is the fight with Marcie... I think this is a bit random in the book, there is so much action already was this needed? Maybe on but what the hell it was still fun, when the popular girl gets knocked down a peg or two its not a bad thing...but when she turns out to be really hurt and not by Nora thats not so great! Nora is a major suspect into how Marcie got hurt, and this makes Nora look even more insane, this book is getting very twisted and exciting at this point. But to make it even bette Patch a Nora go out on a DATE !!! Its pretty normal, Nor gets to see him topless so thats always a bonus because who does not love a good six pack? ...Exactly.... However a suspicious shaped scare on Patch's back makes Nora suspicious....Are angels really and can they fall?
Then things get tense and fast paced! I was so tense reading this, its a real thriller...Vee goes out to a party with Elliot and Jules...remember them? Well Nora is worried she needs to find Vee...She sets out but its a bad neighbourhood and she gets cornered by a Bag lady, trades her coat and phone. That sounds bad well it gets worse! The Bag lady wears Nora's coat...THEN SHE GETS SHOT...DEAD, that was meant to be Nora...Okay so time to freak outttttttt
Who should she ring from the pay phone? PATCH. So along comes the night in shining armour, however his car dies and now they are stranded yet again...This means over night stay with Patch in a hotel..hehehe Nora discovers something..If she touches Patches Scares she can see into his past...Great detail in the story and it was good to see it from Patch's point of view as well as learning more!
Nora knows Patch is a fallen angel and starts to piece things together, this is interesting because we already sort of knew what was going on. I like the way she works it out, and Patch plays it cool, while still answering her questions and trying to curb her anger.
Nora's next episode with death comes next..and who's threatening her this time? Well of course its Patch's Ex/Angel...Mean bitch! She sneaks into Nora's house and pounces... and tries to kill Nora, sets the house on fire and everything just goes down hill fast...But Patch is there to save her! See what i mean the action is coming thick and fast now! Okay now worry about Vee...Nora's safe, Patch is taking care of the crazy angel lady, and Vee is still not home! The three of them broke into the school, now Nora and Patch have to get them out. This is where we start to really understand who's who, and whats going on. The ending of this book is AMAZING...and i never suspected it.
Elliot is not the killer..Jules is the bad guy..SHOCK HORROR ! Remember Chauncey? yep thats Jules. I honestly never ever though of that! It was a GREAT twist! So Jules wants to kill Nora as revenge for Patch taking over his body. I love the ending its the best part of the book and concludes it so well! Well done Becca Fitzpatrick!
So the next 3 books are just as A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!
MUST READ THEM
I will review them soon #watchthisspace
