I knew it.
I've been moaning at Nora a lot of the way through this because she was being a bit selfish regarding Patch. I know she loves him and everything but he's an Angel! He can't fall for you without consequences!
As for the rest of the story, everything's up in the air now.
I so wasn't expecting that ending anyway, not the Patch thing the other thing--<spoiler>Rixon</spoiler>--and the thing about her dad.
The end has made me want to jump straight into Silence but I don't have Finale and if I continue with it now, I'll only have to wait a long time to finish it, so I'll leave it now and continue when I finally get my hands on the last book.

First off, I like my paranormal books to also have a little romance in them and this, apart from a kiss or two, had no romance.
Second. I had no idea what this sERIES would be about when I bought the trilogy as the synopsis was a little vague.
So, I have to admit that I did like it...just not really enough to continue the series.
To me, it seemed that they went through a lot of crap for nothing. To go to where the weird black things come from just to find out what power Jess had, and then to realise that you don't know what it is anyway?? Riiiight... :/
I don't think I'll be continuing it as it just isn't really my sort of thing, I'm afraid.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the other three. Nora's whiney-ness just got to me in this and her being in charge of a Nephilim army when she's dating a fallen angel just seemed a little strange.
A lot of questions were answered in this in regards to just about everything and if I'm honest I skipped over description looking for the conversational parts because it seemed to go on for a long time, being dragged out.
I liked Dante. I never realised how wrong I could be about a character until this book. I wont spoil it but Jeez.
It was a good ending but I kind of think I'd lost interest in the series by the end.

This had been on my “recommendations” page for a while and when I saw it on Scribd, I thought why not?
I didn’t read the synopsis so I wasn’t entirely sure what it was going to be about. I really need to start.
This wasn’t bad. I liked some aspects and it was different to a lot of other stories out there.
I'm not the biggest fan of mythology. I don't mind books set in that time but this wasn't quite up my street. It was dystopian-y, paranormal-y and slightly romance-y, which sounds like it would be but I found it a little strange.
I have to admit it was easy reading but it wasn't for me. I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

I saw this on Scribd and thought, "Ooh, I want to read that." It sounded good, the cover is amazing and it was free for me. So why not?
Unfortunately once I started reading, I thought it sounded a lot like Meg Cabot's [b:Abandon|9397967|Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1)|Meg Cabot|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1324767084s/9397967.jpg|11351526] and I found it rather difficult to get into, though I think that was down to the "then" and "now" storyline and not the similarities between this and the other.
I can't say I felt anything for any of the characters or their predicament and I just lost interest in it all. That's were my 2 star rating comes from. It was okay, but not for me.

Firstly, this book was written almost ten years ago when MySpace was a really popular site. Now if it had been a newer, edited version where all the MySpace's were replaced with Facebook or Twitter I might have gelled with it a little more.
Secondly, it's supposed to be YA but the way the characters were acting for 18 year olds was pretty ridiculous at times. It was like they were fifteen or something. I struggled to get Courtney. She was so annoying at times, so whiny and inner turmoil-y. So immature compared to some other books I've read lately.
Thirdly, the thing that split them up was pretty obvious after about 100 pages. A lot of drama over something that could have been so easily sorted out.
Not my sort of book.
