Kind of a cookie-cutter teen paranormal romance story, but I liked the concept and enjoyed the overall story.
Why so many bad reviews?
I actually really enjoyed this book! I haven't found a book that I didn't want to put down in a long time and I really want to get the next volume.
With me though, I tend to spoil myself and read up on the next volume.
Even though I did that, I still want to read it! Shocking for me anyway.
It's the mystery and connection between the characters and... well.. the smexyness of Patch. I mean, the way he acts for the most part just makes me giggle like a school girl.
I usually get really annoyed with the whole "i'm attracted to you but I hate you!" thing but it worked in the book.
I just hope the rest of the books are just as good...

I was really excited about reading this one; I've heard good things about it, and the cover is ahmazing. But I was a little disappointed. I can see where the comparisons to Twilight come from, but really, there are so many books with the same sort of storyline out now, I think this would be considered pretty unique. Nora was okay, I REALLY liked Patch (what can I say, I have a thing for bad boys), but the characters weren't that memorable to me. The standard mysterious-paranormal-he's-dangerous-but-I-can't-stay-away guy, and the standard good-girl-I'm-usually-so-responsible-and-smart.
The beginning was kinda slow, but the ending was pretty thrilling. All in all, a good book if you like paranormal romance, but don't expect too much.

Read this as a teen and don’t remember liking it all that much. Read it now as an adult and definitely don’t like it. Nora is annoying. Vee is a terrible friend, who can’t read the room and she’s infuriating. Patch is a creep. All the characters are just not that great. They aren’t fleshed out properly and don’t feel “alive” to me. Boring and bland. :/
3.5.
I was expecting more from this. I wanted more. I felt it could have gone a lot of different ways which disappointed me. It happened to be very cliche and convenient at times.
However, that being said I think Patch was a super interesting character (in stark contrast to the main character Nora) and the book did keep my interest. I wanted to know what happened. It also was very sexy at parts which a girl can really admire.
