Ich habe mich sehr in die Twilight Zeit zurückversetzt gefühlt bei diesem Buch (was ja auch zum Erscheinungsjahr passt).
Die Geschichte war nicht sehr tiefgehend und mal wieder war Instalove beteiligt, aber irgendwie doch unterhaltsam. 
Ich muss sagen, ich habe den Bösewicht nicht direkt erkannt, mir aber schon gedacht, dass mit Jules etwas faul ist, wobei ich ihn eher für einen (gefallenen) Engel gehalten habe. Was Vi angeht...ich fand sie schrecklich nervig, teilweise dachte ich echt, sie hätte ihren gesunden Menschenverstand verloren. Ich verstehe, dass sie ein Teenie ist, aber das? Wenn deine beste Freundin sagt, sie habe ein schlechtes Gefühl bei jemandem, dann hör ihr gefälligst zu, insbesondere, wenn es eine Mordermittlung gegen eben jenen gibt. In irgendeiner Form kann sie sich vielleicht damit verteidigen, dass sie manipuliert wurde, aber das reicht, meines Erachtens nach, nicht aus

this is so 2000s ya in the best and worst ways but i'm shocked at how much i genuinely enjoyed it. it does read like a twilight ripoff but it had me more nostalgic than annoyed. the worldbuilding got a little confusing but overall this was really fun and i can't wait to read the rest!!

“A fairy tale with fallen angels, human hybrids, and sacrificial killings.”
There wasn’t much that I liked about this book, but the overall concept was nice – fallen angels on Earth and what not. From the start I was amused by Patch’s banter with Nora and as the story progressed I started to like Nora and Patch more and more.

But seriously though, what’s up with everyone around Nora?! It's like nobody listens to what she says or takes her feelings into consideration. It already started off weird when Nora complained about Patch to her teacher. She told her teacher explicitly that she wasn’t comfortable and he completely dismisses her feelings. And don’t even get me started on Vee who claims to be her best friend. When Nora tells her that someone physically threatened her, you’d expect her to take Nora’s side over some guy they don’t even know that well. She even goes as far as making excuses for his behavior.

“He was wasted. Maybe – maybe he didn't know what he was doing. Tomorrow he's going to feel horrible.”

"He's like there nicest guy I've ever met. When was the last time he forgot to hold open a door for you? Oh, yeah, that's right... never."

Uhhh… what?! Nope, nope nope.

Unfortunately, I don’t expect to continue with this series. I am curious to know how Nora and Patch will continue, but I couldn’t care less for the other characters.

This is so suspenseful. I really liked the story line. I have really nothing else to say about it though I liked it!💁🏼‍♀️
