About this listen

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. 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.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those who have fallen -- and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

An interesting take on some Biblical mythology

I'm not typically much of a YA person so take this with a grain of salt, but it felt like there was a LOT of back and forth with little development. The ending felt very sudden.

I will say that the angelology involved was pretty neat, especially the aspects taken from Jewish tradition. Beyond that though there wasn't much that hooked me. Most of the characters felt hard to like, including the protagonist at times.

The narrator performance overall was fine, but do not ask her to do accents I guess.

Maturing is Realizing How Toxic YA Books Are

I loved this book when I read it as a younger highschooler, so I thought I'd re-experience it as an adult.

Wow.

It's truly interesting observing how much books like this promote and attempt to normalize toxic and abusive relationships, among a host of other social ills. Every character, including the protagonist, was unlikeable and toxic.

Beyond this, the story is just.... poorly written. the plot is all over the place, and the ending felt incredibly rushed. The scenes with the police were completely unrealistic (and needlessly aggressive for some reason?), the token Fat Sl*tty Friend (TM) was utterly annoying and served no purpose other than to make the main character appear superior, and don't even get me started on the somehow romanticized take on the psycho stalker main "love" interest.

I guess I should thank the author, in the end. Because this has finalized my decision to pursue my Master's in literature JUST so I can write a dissertation on the link between real-life domestic violence among young people and YA novels like this one.

The narrator did her job well, I just feel bad that she has her name associated with this garbage.

Romanticizes toxic relationships

It just a poorly executed way of showing love and the book doesn't feel romantic at all. I didn't feel bad for Nora because she likes her stalker. It's a mess of a take on twilight but just fallen angel version... but i like the narrorator.
