Nora allows Patch inside their house at night even if she knows she shouldn't, especially since she is alone. As another review stated, 'It takes the theme of forbidden romance a step too far, twisting the idea that true and exciting love must be dangerous and also demeaning to the heroine.'

Love shouldn't be wrought with danger, shouldn't involve sacrificing one's life, and shouldn't require surrendering one's values. They might get a warped idea of what romance should be. I worry for the young innocent girls who read this story because they might take Nora as their model heroine, or take Patch as their ideal man. Morality lines are blurred in this story. She finds out later that she is in the middle of a centuries-old feud between a fallen angel and a Nephil (the child of a human and a fallen angel). Strange things begin to happen to Nora, such as getting attacked by an unknown stalker. She is drawn to her arrogant, mysterious seatmate, Patch Cipriano, who knows suspiciously too much about her and is able to communicate directly to her mind.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. A powerful YA romance about the forbidden love between a girl and a fallen angel, perfect for fans of the Twilight series! Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan.
